Welcome IAmA! This is a place where people make posts and other people can then ask them questions

This version of the community is oriented towards topics relevant to the programming.dev communities

example post title: I am a game developer for X video game company, ask me anything

All posts must contain some form of proof showing that you are actually who you claim to be by connecting you to your lemmy username (if youre not famous that could just be editing your github or making a mastodon post in an account you use and then linking it as a minimum)

Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them

I'm currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly

Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3

If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active

Thats our current way to prevent waves of spam bots. Its been an issue for the instances currently around lemmy where someone will just spam create accounts in different instances. The captcha that was built into lemmy in version 0.17 was not great and there currently isnt one in 0.18 until the next version so we cant rely on that (and it doesnt stop bots that well either)
