Daily Godot Tip #37: If you select text you can hit certain keys to wrap the text in that key (works for things like quotations, brackets) by Ategon in c/godot@programming.dev

Sites back up

Got a lot of information about what it actually causing the issues which should help me automate some fixes for tomorrow + the weekend

There likely will be some more downtime tomorrow if I have time (if not itll be on saturday)

The issue is essentially a chain of issues with one needing to be fixed before I can fix the others. Some tables have duplicates entries which is preventing reindexing (since the indexes are broken). First one im going to try to fix is the post table.

I did some changes to remove a duplicate community to test which is https://programming.dev/c/photography@lemmy.world and ive managed to make it merged and now comments will show if you sort by comments in the community. Posts however still aren't showing up due to the posts table having the issue with duplicates as well. (fixing posts first so I can set all of the posts to the correct community in an automated way later for the communities)

Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it by Ategon in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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)

Looking for a friendly matrix / discord server of enthusiast programmers and nerds by Ategon in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We have a discord and matrix community for programming.dev. Currently there isnt much there in terms of chatting about programming itself (mostly just things happening in the instance and lemmy) but there could be

Instance admin updates + Blahaj by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

For the first paragraph: year fair. I'll likely do some more additions to our admin guidelines for expected conduct on non admin accounts and I can do a general expected conduct when participating in the instance (for all instance users) for behaviors that anyone shouldn't do regardless of whether they're an admin or not. Can add that to the support site im making

Most of the pronoun situation just stems from discrepancies in different frontends where the "main" frontend shows it but most people are on mobile apps that don't show it leading to people assuming visibility when that isnt the case. In your second paragraph people who don't realize the discrepancy in these frontends may think they're making it clear as you say

But yeah overall things in the conversation wasnt done maliciously and was able to be resolved fine

There was some other branches other than the pronoun situation although that was one of the main ones pointed out to me for defederation reasons

[Meta] Looking for mods for c/cs_career_questions (programming.dev)

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/7188164

This community is currently admin run and doesnt have a dedicated mod team. Recently been getting a bit more activity

I just went through and updated the sidebar for the community to give more of a description about it. If youre interested feel free to say so below

!cs_career_questions@programming.dev

Note: to be a mod its preferred if your account is within the instance since lemmy doesnt handle cross-instance modding that well and this makes it so you have access to features added to pangora that other instances may not have

This community still mostly has me running it and has 1 other mod but I typically like starting communities off with at least 2 mods. This community is a bit different in that theres the solution megathreads that need to be posted when a new day drops (and then unlocked when the global leaderboard fills up). When it has a dedicated mod team running it ill remove myself so its not admin run

Animation Testing (thelemmy.club)

Doing some testing with animations for the site

All pages have a little fade in effect with the content by default when switched to to ease the transition a bit

The donation page I also added some custom swipe in effects to

Will eventually be adding handling for prefers-reduced-motion to disable the swipe in effects although not in currently

There may be some changes to how I organize the repos to rename Pangora-UI to pangora and the backend to something else

More info in the future though

Programming.Dev Feature Requests by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah should be fine, dont think any changes made are going to severely overhaul the base structure so everything will be able to merge in (and if it does change then makes sense to branch off at that point)

Yeah it'll be in a github repo. Currently trying to brainstorm a name and then I'll share the repo publicly

Non-general purpose posts by Ategon in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

getting people who may not know where otherwise to post to then nudge them towards a more specific community for future ones

an example of that would be the python post that was given as an example in the original post where they just asked how to do something in python here and since they were new they just did it in c/programming. Then someone told them about python and the next python help post they did they made in the python community instead

edit: yeah
