Been working on getting a game jam set up with a bunch of other organizers for the past bit. At some point in the future I should be adding in activitypub support (for the microblog side of the fediverse) so that posts mentioning the jam show up in the jam main page (that wont be for this iteration of the jam though since I primarily focused on getting the base jam functionality up)

D2Jam is a community centered game jam with a emphasis on supporting things constructed by the community! We wanted a jam which celebrated post-submission events, encouraged discourse and reflection, and provided tools for developers to find and share games.

D2Jam is an online game jam that anyone is free to join and that lasts for 3 days (Somewhere between Friday and Monday depending on timezones). There is a 2 hour submission window at the end as a time to make sure you get your game submitted before the jam fully ends. After the jam there is a 2 week rating period to play, rate, and give feedback to other entries in the jam. In addition any post jam events such as the Score Chasers tournament will be run in the post jam period.

We have 2 categories: Regular and O.D.A (One Dev Army). Both happen at the same time.

Yeah it uses a system similar to github actions

The forgejo instance here is meant for repositories related to programming.dev and the fediverse

Cleared all the spam repos so you shouldnt see any more, will do a more permanent solution later (will see if I can do an application process using a third party form system since forgejo doesnt have that built in)

Yeah I havent gone through and cleared it in a bit since there isnt much of a point to due to it being mostly used internally only rn (and forgejo makes the process very annoying unless you do it directly through the db)

Ill purge things and adjust settings again soon

I couldnt find anything in the post details from looking at it that would differentiate it from other posts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Cant find anything that would cause this in the db. Thought the dates got messed up in federation but they seem to be perfectly normal. Still pinned even if I manually change the date to a year in the past

Im assuming something got messed up from the nodebb->lemmy federation

Im going to remove the post as thats the only way I see to get rid of it

I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

Not posting in the community doesn't mean people there don't interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there's other federation examples

I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren't overly reliant on other infrastructure we can't control within our instances subject matter

We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed

[email protected] exists already

Ill go through and remove the hides from the communities that dont have bot content anymore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not possible in lemmy atm past just rehiding everything from the instance every so often

edit: just did another round of hiding things from lemmynsfw, should be reflected in the hidden communities doc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It was put under the wrong category looks like

I originally hid it due to it being primarily bot content (but seems like the community changed at some point to not be bot spam)

Heres an example of what the community used to look like

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

That's not possible in lemmy currently. It's either full hiding (so hiding from local/all, searches and the community unless they subscribe) or not hiding

Theoretically could be added in a pr though

Theres technically a code review community at [email protected] although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities

 

Useful to not need to tab back to it after changing one thing in the inspector

 

Useful for things you don't edit but still would need to scroll past

 

Capitalized will also put a space when swapping between letter and nums

 

Will be reindexing all of the tables I havent reindexed yet just in case some of them also got corrupted

Seems like some peoples profiles are also affected by the issue although its much rarer

 

Doing another round of maintenance to fix some issues related to posts

It might only be down for a bit within that window but im giving myself two hours in case some things take longer than I expect

 

Will be attempting to fix some issues. If theyre still there after this maintenance I'll be doing another round tomorrow or on the weekend around the same time slot since there's less activity then

 

Export range (used to create a box in the inspector for choosing a number within a range) can have extra things added to it in any additional arguments after the main 3.

One of these is the addition of a suffix that can be set to whatever you want

 

Then you can easily move to bookmarks using the go to button at the top or using ctrl+b and ctrl+shift+b

 

If you also just have a large block of text it lets you see a large amount of the text instead of only a small part at a time

 

you cant nest export_subgroups within each other but you can use slashes for nesting
