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/

  • Discoverability of communities across instances

    Jump

  • As more people use https://lemmy-federate.com more niche communities will show up in most large instances by default

    Imo its the ideal solution since it populates the posts in the all feed for people who don't know about the site to still see

  • These mods on their power-trips really need to stop

    Jump

  • It looks like you were temp banned from the linux community for 3 days

    The comment you made was transphobia which goes against the programming.dev code of conduct. I suggest reading the comment of the user who replied to you and learning how to respect people more

    This comment

    does not qualify as a "respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else"

  • Copyright statement on posts?

    Jump

  • Rather than being limited to posts themselves it probably makes more sense to attach it to certain chunks of something. For example a block of code so that people copying the code to use in their own projects after receiving help actually have the license to do so rather than that just being verbal (could make it default to MIT No Attribution or some other license the community specifies). This same logic can be extended to images (although probably with no default for those since theres way too many possible cases)

  • Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it

    Jump

  • Nothing would change about the community itself if it goes from lemmy to sublinks. Still accessible on the federation as normal and on version 0.1 the core features should have parity

    Reposting my comment I did before:

    Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

    For world Ruud commented about that before and nothings been decided currently on theyre going to handle it (I assume youll see some sort of post in their meta community way before anything happens)

  • I'm working on the frontend for it rather than the backend so I'll comment more about that

    But a new project allows for way easier change of the base aspects. For example im currently working on a theme system thats allows for dynamic themes created at runtime as opposed to it needing to be built in. Also a components library. If this was added onto lemmy ui it would involve massacring the current structure of the UI to essentially make it a new project anyways

    Originally was working on the stuff in a new UI on my own but I've merged that into what's happening with sublinks since they're making a new UI anyways as well and would let more of my UI changes to get connected up to the backend easily and shared across multiple frontends

    In terms of technologies it also allows the federation code to be completely separated out from the api. Federation is currently its own project so it can be scaled separately and its made in go

    Also allows for more organizational changes since we have more control over how the project is structured and the structure of how we talk to each other and decide on changes is different than how its done with lemmy (having a matrix space we talk to each other and there being weekly meetings as well)

    Moderation tools is the first milestone after parity but theres also other milestones as well in terms of changes made that differentiates it from lemmy visible on our task board thats public on the github repo

    Normal thats theres going to be multiple of the same type of software as people have different goals of what it should be and how it should be organized. Bevy and godot both exist in the open source gamedev space. Theres 7 misskey forks that all mostly aim to do different things but share the misskey api (and a lot of them also use the mastodon api). One of which (iceshrimp) is currently having a rewrite to change the tech stack and make it easier for them to add features

  • Note that the votes are currently only public to admins, there was an issue to extend that to mods that are modding the specific community the upvote is in but not sure the status on that

    edit: seems to have been merged in a day after 0.19.3 released so it would probably be in the next version

  • Two amateurish questions

    Jump

  • For the second, you cant follow accounts on lemmy but you can follow lemmy accounts from mastodon. (it will show both posts and comments the person makes as boosts)

    Same for posting, you cant post so it shows up on mastodon since lemmy doesnt have hashtags but you can post and comment from mastodon (post by mentioning the community in the post and comment by replying to a post made on lemmy). Note on posting from lemmy to mastodon though is if you have a mastodon account that follows the lemmy account and comments on posts with hashtags that comment and the parent post will appear in those hashtag feeds, just looks spammy

  • Open source Linktree Alternatives?

    Jump

  • Lemmy Active Users looking good

    Jump

  • Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted

  • Lemmy Active Users looking good

    Jump

  • Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances

    The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users

  • PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

    Jump

  • Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already

    Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon

    I've been designing an updated home page recently for it that I'll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly

  • Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend

    demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility

    Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

    Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them

  • In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

  • Lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19.3 - expect a large increase in reported monthly active users in communities counters, as votes now count as activity

    Jump

  • Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj

  • Update on SJW upgrade to v19.3

    Jump

  • Theres a lot more users that dont even vote as well

    For programming.dev currently we have~ 1.2k MAU. Including people who have an account but dont vote or comment we get closer to 2k. And then including people who dont have an account we get much higher (~ 80k per day but that includes crawlers and bots)

    Looking for Moderators

  • 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
