If youre willing to send me the csv I'm interested in seeing the results with a more eurovision style scoring rather than just average rank

To get it actually running you need to do more than set up just the env but ive got what I needed to do here

https://share.ategon.dev/u/IzcMWM.md

If you want to allow logging in so you can test the features that get unlocked from that heres some code changes to get it working so you can bypass setting up openid

Some comments not appearing? by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

Sometimes federation takes a bit, especially from some of the instances that go down more like feddit.de

I can see the comment on the thread you linked when checking it now https://programming.dev/comment/9725576

the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it

Any update on 0.19? by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There was some federation issues that are getting fixed plus a couple other bugs that need to get fixed before we update so site behavior doesnt break (e.g. show read posts not working). I assume we would update sometime after Christmas since 0.19.1 is in release clients and so we aren't dealing with maintenance over the holidays

Edit: seems like 0.19.1 released today, still likely after Christmas due to the second reason and so that can be checked to make sure there's no issues still

Active and New Communities (thelemmy.club)

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

Welcome to the programming.dev transcribing community! (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/transcribing@programming.dev

In the past there was some dicussion about setting up a community and putting some effort into starting to transcribe content but the effort died down a bit

I'm reviving the push to transcribe content now that we have some other image based communities popping up such as !software_gore@programming.dev

How this will work is if you see an image post with no transcriptions yet, feel free to transcribe it and describe what is in the image. If you are posting images you can also add transcriptions of the image in your post body.

The majority of transcriptions will follow this sort of format

Image Transcription: [Insert what category it is here (e.g. meme, discord, reddit, code)]

***

[*A description of anything that might be worth describing about the image aside from what the text says. e.g. an unusual font, background images, etc.]

[The text]

***

I am a human volunteer who transcribes posts to improve accessibility on programming.dev and you could be one too! [!transcribing@programming.dev](/c/transcribing@programming.dev)

the description and text might be repeated if theres multiple images in one and each different image description should be separated with a horizontal line using three dashes

For example for the image:

Image Transcription: Twitter

Annie, @soychotic

Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into another account and reply to it with an obscenely incorrect answer. Ppl don't care about helping other but they LOVE correcting others. Works 100% of the time

A community for posting memes and humor relating to linux

Yes this community already exists on lemmy.world but not all of our federated instances are federated with world (e.g. beehaw) so this provides an alternative community

Welcome to the community for safe crackers, an upcoming lemmy event (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/safe_crackers@programming.dev

0 comments fedilink

Hey everyone! Ive been working on an event called safe crackers for instances to compete in

Im planning to hopefully run it around february so that its run 6 months apart from !canvas@toast.ooo

Essentially how it will work is each instance has a safe with a 20 digit password. Users of the instance have 100 points, and must set a 4 digit password and attempt to guess the passwords of users in other instances. If a password is guessed then they steal all of the points of the user they guessed.

To help guess passwords clues will be given which when solved will give one character of the users password. Clues will need to be solved using things like community names, post titles, etc. relating to the person

Each user only gets a certain amount of clues every so often so you would have to pool your clues with other members of your instance

If you guess a password you have a chance to get a clue for that instances 20 digit safe. If the 20 digit safe is broken into all of that instances points are stolen and that instance is eliminated

Details might differ a bit in the actual event since im still fleshing it out a bit but it should be similar

Currently thinking the top 20 instances in terms of MAU will be competing and the rest will be under a joint group for a total of 21 groups.

Ill be posting progress updates here on me constructing it and will be running a beta ahead of the actual event to test it out

Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads? by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, the goal is mainly to get everyone in the fediverse able to participate in the coding chats as long as they're respectful about it rather than being a free speech absolutism instance. An ideal scenario would be allowing users to participate in here while limiting the posts in their communities to not show up in things like the all feed if their instance is problematic

Decision should be pushed out soon, just making sure we get everything sorted out before we push anything and been a bit slower due to vacations
