comment was restored instantly since it shouldn't have hit that message (ill probably try to get piss removed from the check). Just a way for admins to be able to check messages to prevent new accounts from instantly harassing people after sign up

if you mention a lemmy community in your post the post gets sent to show up in the lemmy community. Comments are automatically federated if you comment on a lemmy post.

lemmy posts are all federated to mastodon though if the servers know about each other

Hey people,

Thank you again for coming together and submitting songs to Lemmyvision, it's heartwarming to see different communities of the fediverse participate in sharing their musical interest.

The voting form is available here: https://tally.so/r/GxY0ze

Everyone is welcome to vote, even if your instance or community did not participate! This is a great opportunity to discover new music, and cultures.

@Ategon@programming.dev took the time to create a playlist over at https://d2jam.com/c/lemmyvision-3 feel free to check it out!

Here's the full list of submitted songs:

The form will be available until around the 11th of May, I will then collect the results and publish them shortly after. I hope you’ll have a lot of fun listening to the 13 songs submitted for this edition. Don’t hesitate if you have any question!

im saying the posts and content are fine, just dont swamp every other type of content with it. Give breathing room for other communities and other people in this community to be able to have things surface. You can still post things hence why you havent gotten any moderation action here past getting your flood of posts removed.

some users can like attribution to reddit a lot of others dont. Not everyone has the same opinion or is the same person

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago

yeah but ideally it wouldnt be. People come here to escape reddit they dont want to be reminded of it. Just warning that if you post with it youre going to get a lot more complaint comments

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

4 posts were still left up from your batch after I cleaned up some to clean the home instance feeds and them the mods trimmed it down more (from 19 within the same small window of time). Just make sure to spread posts out so theyre not all posted in a chunk (and dont use camelcase for titles or have connections to reddit). This post is more than a day after the other ones so would be fine

Yeah any playlists on platforms are unfortunately going to be missing the p.d entry since it was made for a game jam and doesn't exist outside of it atm due to the composer not being well known

Youtube I think is the only thing that has 12/13 of the entries (apart from the "playlist" just being links to things like mine is in the post)

Went through and collected the current submissions I could find into one area (instead of needing to search through this community for them).

There's a couple where I don't know the category and I know there's at least 4 other submissions that will be arriving so I will be updating the collection as I get them (which I believe they should all be arriving today).

(If you have any suggestions for the ui of the collections, etc. or new feature ideas for it let me know since I'm the one thats been working on the feature for the site. I have no youtube playlist, etc. this time since not all songs are on youtube)

Link again in case your frontend doesn't get the first one

Hi everyone, for this edition of Lemmyvision two fediverse related programming communities (Programming.Dev and D2Jam) teamed up to submit a song!

D2Jam is a game jam where people have 3 days to create a game. As part of this there are composers that make songs for the games with the music made listenable to on the site itself! There are many talented composers part of the community that currently don't get much attention to their work so we figured Lemmyvision was a good opportunity to help get more eyes on their stuff.

7 songs from the game jam were submitted and then voted on using ranked choice voting. In total there were 20 people who cast votes.


The winner of the voting and the song submitted to this edition of Lemmyvision is Markhamia Castle! This is a track made by Cristian De Santis (aka Cris03sora) for the post-jam version of Plant Runner.

Plant Runner is a parkour game where you need to get around terrain using jumps, wall running, abilities, etc. 5 tracks were made for the jam version of the game to play in the background while people parkour and then 4 additional tracks were made for the post-jam version of the game that released a couple weeks after the game jam with this being one of those 4 tracks.

You can listen to it on the linked site (using the play button below the title and waveform) and download it using the download track button on the sidebar


For those interested in the runner ups here are the other songs that were submitted to the voting

and there are many other songs made for the jam you can listen to on the music page on the site


Other Misc Info

D2Jam is a community centered game jam built on supporting things constructed by the community! It's aimed so that anyone can contribute to it (to run events related to the jam or contribute to things such as the site) and we construct things to help the community showcase their work (such as the music feature on the site, etc.)

The jam is not on the fediverse yet (hence the team up between Programming.Dev and D2Jam for this edition of the competition) but it's aimed to join within the next month. Currently the site has a forum on the home page where people can make posts. It's aimed so that people can make posts in other fediverse software (directly to it from places such as lemmy as if it was a lemmy community or using the d2jam hashtag from places such as mastodon) and then posts on it are federated out to those as well.

Programming.Dev is a lemmy instance that has many programming and other tech communities on it (including general programming, linux, programmer humor, privacy, opensource, godot, hardware, etc.) In Lemmyvision 1 game related music was voted on to be submitted with Your Inception from Casette Beasts being the submitted track.

Outbound federation fixed (programming.dev)

Hey everyone, sorry for the bit of issues with the outbound federation.

We recently updated the site to 0.19.18 and that ended up breaking the outbound federation for a bit. Luckily no activity silently failed so all posts/comments/etc. were able to be retroactively sent to other instances so that everything made during the downtime is still federated as normal now.

A couple larger instances might still be behind on content for a bit as they catch up on activities but if this post can be seen in another instance that means that instance is fully caught up. (should only be lemmy.world and a couple others that are behind)

Hello everyone! This is the post to determine the category of what to send for the Lemmyvision song content for Programming.Dev this year!

What is Lemmyvision?

For people who don't know what lemmyvision is, its a competition where communities on lemmy all submit a song to then be voted on by the participants. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

In lemmyvision 1 P.D sent a song from Casette Beasts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjeTwn9uA3Y

This Edition

For this edition I thought it would be fun to team up P.D with another community I help out with (that will soon be joining the fediverse as well!) D2Jam is a game jam run 2 times a year where people need to make games in 3 days. As part of that are composers that need to compose music for the games within the 3 days. We could submit an song from the jam as the entry for programming.dev to get more eyes on the composers there since some of them are really good but don't have much eyes on their work atm (and it would help people discover songs from lesser known artists that need the discovery).

Examples of some of the songs https://d2jam.com/m/tony-plantony, https://d2jam.com/m/reap-what-you-sow, https://d2jam.com/m/planty-of-us, https://d2jam.com/m/its-watering-time, https://d2jam.com/m/planted (these are not necessarily the ones that would be voted on for what to be sent, these are just some of them from the most recent edition)

I set up a poll where you can vote on whether to do this or just do a regular game soundtrack submission like it was done in lemmyvision 1 (note that it would be limited to only things released in 2025 and 2026 either way). Anyone can vote even if your account is not in P.D (since many people that use the communities have their accounts elsewhere)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/tech@programming.dev

Hey everyone. Just wanted to do a post to pin in the community just to enforce the difference between c/tech and c/technology more since there's been more and more rule breaking posts popping up and I don't want to put more work on maintaining here since there's no dedicated mod team for it atm

This is a community oriented towards underlying tech so for new things happening in the tech world as opposed to misc legislation and company news

Examples of posts that fit here

  • Wi-Fi 8 will bring reliability rather than greater speed
  • App that translates speech to sign language in real-time wins top innovation prize
  • FDA approves breakthrough eye drops that fix near vision without glasses
  • We hacked into a bowling alley computer | The Serial Port
  • Scientists Make First Mechanical Qubit
  • New version of the PNG image standard released

Examples of posts that do not (and should go into c/technology instead)

  • Atlassian moved 4 million Postgres databases to AWS Aurora
  • Verizon Announces CEO Transition
  • Tailwind Labs Cuts 75% Engineers: AI Kills CSS Tools
  • Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Preview

Since it wasn't being enforced as much some older rule breaking posts are still up but things should be getting enforced more from now on (if something sneaks through and gets large with no presence in the other communities I can leave it up but ideally it would go into c/technology instead)

If someone wants to mod this community feel free to let me know since it doesn't have a mod team atm

Slight Christmas Outage (programming.dev)

Hey everyone! Sorry for the few hours of outage on the site. There was an issue with the renewing of the SSL certificates and in standard fashion it happened at the worst time when nobody could fix it quickly.

Drove back to my PC and renewed it so the site should be fine now. Hope everyone has a good rest of the holidays!

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 97 points 2 years ago

Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared

old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also voters
both are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though

Heres a link to the linked post: https://godotforums.org/d/35412-sadly-i-think-godot-is-a-scam-im-not-sure-i-can-do-this

Comment by the previous community forum owner (before the one that shut it down) that I feel should also be put in this thread

While I cannot speak for Cybereality and his experiences and feelings on Godot and such, i can speak a bit more on the forum side of things.

I ran the Godot Community Forums for 4 years and 7 months, back when Godot 3.0 wasn’t even in alpha yet. However, I resigned in May 2023 and handed the reins over to Cybereality, whom I believed would run the forums similar to how I did and seemed enthusiastic to do so. I resigned because I realized I didn’t have the time to dedicate to it like I felt a leader should and so, instead of being at the helm but not having the energy to properly help the forums grow, I stepped down. Simply put: I was burning out and didn’t have time to run the community, and Cybereality offered to take over it and so I passed it along.

I did not expect this turn of events and I am saddened by the entire thing. I understand being frustrated with the direction Godot can take, the difference between expectations and reality, and can sympathize with not running a community you do not believe in. However, I am most saddened that the community we built together on the forums is frozen in place simply because of an individual’s feelings on all this. The forums was more than just one individual, even if that individual was the owner of the forums. I know there are great people in the Godot forums that may have been willing to take it over should he have offered. Cybereality is a good person, and I wish him the best, but it saddens me to see years of community be locked in place. The forums grew so much in the last few years and has become a wealth of information on Godot, and while I am glad it is kept in read-only mode rather than being deleted, it pains me to see the forum community this way.

Something I’d like to address though, because I think there is a bit of a misconception on how long Cybereality has run the forums and what that means finically. I’ve seen a few claims that he’s spent hundreds or thousands on the forums.Cybereality has only run the forums for a few months, since May 15th. The reason I bring this is up is that, prior to this point, I was solely funding the Godot forums for the entire 4 years and 7 months, I did not take donations, run ads, or ask anyone to help fund it. While I understand that Cybereality has claimed to have spent hundreds (and he may have! I didn’t have paid plugins and such, and my server provider didn’t charge for bandwidth/vistors), I know for a fact that the forums cost (roughly) a couple hundred a year when I ran it, not hundreds a month. He certainly has not spent thousands on the Godot forums if he ran it the way I did. He has only spent his own money on the forums since May when we transferred the server to him, prior to that the forums were funded entirely out of my own pocket and no one else’s. I don’t know what server he used, whether he paid for bandwidth, how expensive the plugins he bought were ,etc., but I do know that the notion (implied or otherwise) he’s been paying for the forums for years is false, he’s only been paying for it for a few months.

Finally, the forums were never an official Godot social platform and we were entirely community driven, unlike the other Godot communities that are linked on the Godot community page. The forums was also linked on the Godot community page, but we ran our own ship, had our own set of rules (we observed and adhered to the Godot Code of Conduct, at least while I ran it), and forum staff (entire volunteer!) were composed of people from within the Godot forums community. We managed ourselves and did our best to make a healthy community. I can confidently say that the forum staff I worked with were some of the most talented people who really cared about the community and helping everyone use Godot, and we all spent countless hours of our free time to make the forums what it was. We truly tried to make it a place for all Godot developers, at least while I was running it.

It saddens me to see that it all went down this way and I’m sorry for everyone on the forums who enjoyed and participated as part of the community. I hope you all find new communities to join that are just as special as the forums. I also hope that Cybereality finds another project he can believe in and is able to pour his enthusiasm into that project and help whatever community he lands in next grow. I wish everyone I interacted with over the years on the forums the best and I hope you all keep making games (with Godot or otherwise) and find great communities to be a part of.
