Indie game developer 🇨🇦

Working on some games for game jams in my free time

Admin of programming.dev and frontend developer for sublinks

Account has automation for some scheduled posts

Site: https://ategon.dev/ Socials: https://ategon.carrd.co/

  • yeah although I havent pushed changes to a repo recently, ill do that and share in a sec

    figured having it as a message also makes it a spot where readers can see communities for that topic as well

  • Looks like I didnt account for one case haha, will fix

  • Thanks for the feedback

    Yeah light theme is something I've barely touched currently but will get the colors on that fixed in the future and will be adjusting the colors in dark theme

    I'll note down to fix the theme user agent and font size

    For the post you're saying to center are you talking about the post view that pops up from clicking a post in the post feed?

    The dot there isn't anything, I was just using it to separate the buttons from the time

    And yeah I can tweak the transparency there a bit so the feed doesn't have any attention

  • The UI has been getting most of the dev time so that it can be fully built up and swapped to by programming.dev before we start extending out the backend. I merged code block support to lemmy-ui as well so that should be arriving in all instances in 0.19.

    Backend has mostly just been me analyzing it and making sense of the different parts so I can add things in the future

    Pangora.social just got an update to make it automatic by pulling data from fediseer

    Havent been able to get too much dev time recently though since its midterm season but there should be some more progress for the next bit assuming I dont get a lot of work dumped on me. Currently mostly still just me doing development and this is third in my priorities after uni and gamedev. Probably will make posts in the future around lemmy looking for more developers

  • thanks for the feedback!

    yeah ill have to look at the colors a bit more. I was trying to draw attention towards the post titles since its the most important thing on the page but made other things too much darker

    Will look into fixing the upvotes and the bar icons.

    I hid the details from the right since I felt it was information overload for people looking at the site but yeah its a bit empty there so can look into changing that and maybe just doing things like tweaking colors

  • The reason for the switch is mostly from a moderation perspective. If its unrestricted showing comments from other communities then people can whip up other communities on some instance and get them to show comments that normally would go against the rules of the community but cant be moderated since the comments arent actually in the community

    Whitelist by default allows people to enable it for communities that they know have active mods and similar rules and ties it in a bit better with another feature which is post sharing which will also be an allowlist as well.

    I could add some sort of button called "show comments from unwhitelisted communities" but it wont be the default

    Requires javascript like every other lemmy frontend since it needs to be reactive and due to how lemmy is setup

    Update: found out mlmym doesnt need javascript. Could see how they deal with things and try to apply it here

  • Ive seen that pop up but havent looked at it too closely yet. But yeah ill see if I can make my system similar (although I believe that RFC only has post flairs)

  • Added them to the whitelist

  • seeing a community from another instance shows the amount of subscribers from that instance. Only the original instance shows the total

    so 73 people from programming.dev subbed to this community

  • The one linked by snowe above and is the cause of this is on a feature request but its not a feature request made by snowe, its one made by dessalines.

    All of snowes comments got collapsed due to getting marked as off topic which seems to be making people think hes dessalines when thats another lemmy dev

    Snowe in the thread explaining it

    The bug report is a different thing from this (although now snowe cant comment on that thread due to being banned and everything there and in some other spots such as a pull request I was making are also marked as off topic). Probably will get resolved by dessalines based on dessalines comment but weve got Pangora being built up as well

  • For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances

  • regex101 is great for building up regex expressions

    weve also got a regex community in the instance at !regex@programming.dev with some stuff in it

  • yeah its for instances (fediseer doesnt support handling things at the community level so the tags here dont as well (definitely could have worded this message a bit better but community is such a generic term for it to be used to refer to the communities here))

    mostly for topic based instances such as mander, p.d, .zip, fanaticus that focus on one thing such as science, programming, gaming, sports

  • For your edit, this is a collector community for gamedev news so its valid in both. Feel free to crosspost it over if you want

  • Sure, added it to it

    Ill probably clean the sidebar up a bit in the future

  • Ive been working on a soft fork of lemmy called Pangora to prioritize development on different areas that the main lemmy codebase has been neglecting (such as mod tools). Gives a different option than the main lemmy codebase for supporting development and as redundancy for if anything goes wrong (although not production ready atm as its still getting mostly set up) !pangora@programming.dev

  • lemmy.world is in general. Just instances appear in more than one spot (and some general communities appear for a category if they have the largest community for that category and theres no topic specific instances for it). For example of multiple spots lemmy.db.zer0 is in A.I., anarchist, and a couple others since it has those topics in it

  • thanks, ill look through it for stuff to add to pangora once im done with ludum dare
