that only shows downvotes made from kbin unless that changed

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

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

There will be another poll in around 6 months

New identity, lemmy doesn't support SSO for other services

Moving over to it once its done, there will be an upgrade path when it is so shouldnt affect it too much

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Also for anyone looking to use it on mobile or on alternate frontends, It has mastodon API compatibility

Most mastodon apps should theoretically work but these ones are tested:

As in set the invalid votes to be one of the other options? Theres only 4 invalid votes from limited being eliminated and 0 from silenced so wouldn't affect final results (difference between open and closed is 22)

Iceshrimp, its already up just not released publicly

Limited means threads users can't make posts on programming.dev (but can make comments). On the microblog side they're the same

Yeah this is more for the new instance that will be started up that will have the potential to interact with it a lot more. Want to keep federation the same across all our instances

 

For anyone interested, advent of code is about to start! (first puzzles dropping at midnight ET which is in around 11 hours)

We have a community in the instance at [email protected] for discussion about the event and that will have solution threads where you can post and compare against other people


Advent of code is a programming puzzle advent calendar where new puzzles drop every day until the 25th. They can be done in any language and puzzles are released on the AoC site

https://adventofcode.com/

 

First puzzles dropping at midnight ET, ill be making a solutions thread a bit after it drops after the leaderboard fills up a bit

 

Added a couple more buttons so you can see active communities from all connected instances as well

In addition youll see that the active users today is much larger values due to the site & community stats update I did in the instance where it now takes into account post and comment likes in addition to post and comment creations

(Note this and other updates wont be pushed out to the beta site likely until after 0.19 releases and the instance updates to it since ive been messing with the new authentication system)

Starting up a new monthly post where I look at the communities in the instance to see how well all of them are doing

From this we should be able to see what communities are struggling so that they can be focused on for adding activity across the instance

My goal for december will be increasing the amount of communities that appear in the active and moderate sections and will compare to see the activity change then


For community activity levels im breaking this into 5 categories (note these stats are based on the new users/month stats in the instance)

  • Lively- 5k users/month or above
  • Active - 201-4999 users/month
  • Moderate - 51-200 users/month
  • Quiet - 11-50 users/month
  • Dead - 0-10

Communities in each category

  • Lively communities: 2 (1%)
  • Active communities: 11 (6%)
  • Moderate communities: 27 (15%)
  • Quiet communities: 45 (25%)
  • Dead communities: 92 (52%)

Most active communities


Least active communities

(These are ones that will be prioritized for making active) (theres a lot in the dead category so these are random ones from that, not all of them)


One other community that should be interesting to see the growth is the advent of code community as that is about to start

[email protected]

currently at 136 but I assume thats going to grow much larger

Hey everyone, I just pushed a change that changes how active users/month, etc. is calculated

In Pangora I've swapped this to include both post and comment likes to more accurately reflect activity in addition to the default things it counts (By default it only counts people who have posted a post or a comment but thats not everyone who is active in the community) (Its not counting people who have looked at the community but not voted or posted but its closer than before to getting most activity).

To line the instance up to pangora functionality and since I can do this without needing to touch the code I made it follow how pangora calculates it.

users/day on some community gives a tally of all users that have done one of the following in the past 24 hours in that community:

  • posted a post
  • posted a comment
  • voted on a post
  • voted on a comment

The community stats have already been updated and the instance-wide ones should update soon next time it recalculates the stats

(note these stats only show in the instance since each instance calculates their own set of stats for all communities. If youre looking at a community in this instance from another instance the old stats will show. However this also means that communities in other instances when viewed in this instance show the new stats)

 

Hey everyone! been a bit since I ran my last AMA so am running a new one. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them. (my AMAs are more asynchonous but everyone should get answers)

I'm a student in university and typically do both web and game development. Youll likely have seen me in the instance doing things related to community management to make sure things are running smoothly

Pangora is the name of the programming.dev lemmy fork thats been getting built up slowly with pangora-ui being the new frontend being made (very early alpha is up at https://beta.pangora.social and community on programming.dev is at [email protected] )

Other misc topics I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3, and recent games ive been playing are Mistward, Revita, and Puzzmo

Pangora-UI Alpha 2 (programming.dev)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Pushed an update to https://beta.pangora.social that has the changes ive made to the site since the last alpha

Updates include:

  • Lists of active and new communities on the sidebar
  • Community names can have custom gradients
  • The post feeds works with javascript disabled
  • The posts in the post feed now have less transparency and the background on the post previews have less transparency
  • The post previews have been centered more
  • The URL now changes to match the post when looking at a post preview
  • A system theme has been added to the theme switcher and should be set by default
  • The icons in the post feed scope & sort buttons now are not trapped inside the button
  • The community view now allows you to sort posts
  • You can now view posts from multiple communities
  • code block text size has been made larger (might not work for comments)

Viewing posts from multiple communities

You can view posts from multiple communities at once by setting them all in the url. Separate each community by a plus.

for example https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming+opensource will show you posts from both programming and opensource

If you want to add in a community in another instance add it in in the format community@domain

e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/[email protected][email protected]

Wildcard

You can put a wildcard (star symbol *) instead of the instance domain to search for that community name in all instances

  • note that this will only pull from the biggest instances for now due to limitations from this being only in the frontend currently

e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming@* will get all communities named programming in different instances

Wildcard instance exceptions

You can make a wildcard ignore a certain instance by first adding a minus sign after the wildcard (-) to mark a new rule, then an exclamation mark (!) to mark a negation, and then the instance domain

e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming@*-!programming.dev-!lemmy.zip will get all communities named programming in different instances except for the ones in programming.dev and lemmy.zip

Composition

You can combine the above as much as you want to get complex queries. You may run into rate limits if you add an extremely large amount of communities though

Example Query

WARNING

This is implemented only in the frontend currently so certain aspects will be broken

Hot and active sorts for multiple communities will not work

Added in some sections on the right side of the screen in the home page that shows the 5 most active communities, and the 5 most recently made communities

This is essentially the equivalent of the trending communities section in lemmy-ui but isnt using the severely broken hot community sort

Section in lemmy ui below

Also you might notice that some communities now have different gradient colors. I added in support for different community gradients and set some values for some of them. (Note this is all hardcoded into the frontend current until I touch the backend).

It also affects the colors of the community names in post feeds such as is done below

As well I made the site sidebar card and the new community list sidebar cards show information when javascript is disabled. Ill be going through and trying to make that happen for as many things as possible

The site theme now also follows prefers-color-scheme by default


Ill likely be changing how the home feed is handled a bit so that it can support javascript being disabled before I push things out to beta.pangora.social

I started implementing a feature that lets you see posts from multiple communities at the same time. Above ive got it pulling from 5 different communities.

Done by just listing all of the communities in the url with plus signs separating them. Its not pushed out to the pangora beta site right now but ill probably try to push out a build either this weekend or during the week

Currently just shows the first 50 from each, ill try to add some sort of addition to the backend in the future that will let me query for multiple communities so I can do the first 50 out of all of them so it doesnt have things out of order for the last post on a page and the first post on the next page

Hey everyone! Will be trying to get communities of the week started up again with community of the week on wednesday, and federated community of the week on friday

This week we have the opensource community! This is a community where you can post anything relating to open source software. If you ever stumble upon a cool open source software, have an article to share relating to open source, have a question relating to open source, etc. feel free to post it there. Its currently one of the low-medium activity communities in the instance but has the potential to be a pretty active one
