If youre not part of one of the instances/countries that submitted a song theres an other option when voting
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
Top artist: Toby Fox as is usual every year for me lol (Undertale/Deltarune developer)
Top song: Nichibotsu by EX-LYD
Top 5 of each

Fediseer tends to be what most people use to track and list this sort of thing (and its whats used for this instance)
https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured?page=1
A lot of blocks people have are of mastodon instances as well so if youre only interested in thread content that probably needs to be taken into account as well since mastodon instances tend to have more people than lemmy instances
Less than a month until advent of code begins https://adventofcode.com/
Ill be attempting to make this community active leading up to it and during it
Hey everyone, I just finished up a new bot for the instance called Link
This bot aims to give suggestions for other communities in the instance to post to to start populating the more specific topic communities. It currently is triggered just off of keywords it finds in post titles.
This should help people find other communities after they post to !programming@programming.dev and encourage cross-posting in the instance since thats recommended (and standard lemmy behaviour is to show crossposts as one post in the post feed)
I added some of the communities in the instance and will go through and add in the rest of them shortly
Hey everyone! I added some new taglines to the instance to more than double the amount of them we have. You should see the new ones popping up at the top of the home feed
New taglines were taken from the !quotes@programming.dev community and https://http.cat and were currently up to 96 of them
Hello everyone! I've pushed out a public alpha build to https://beta.pangora.social for people to start giving feedback on the design before it becomes more fleshed out
Feel free to check it out and say what you like or dont like in the comments here.
The UI there is currently pointing to the programming.dev instance
⚠ Warning: This is an alpha, things are still very unfinished. You cant use this as an alternative to lemmy-ui yet since things such as logging in aren't supported
⚠ Warning 2: If you attempt to use this on mobile currently it will be very broken
I constructed the UI by seeing what people liked from lemmy-ui, alexandrite, and photon and trying to match it up to how lemmy-ui is built so that it would be an easy switch between them
Main site mechanics that is different from lemmy-ui

Had some more free time to work on the pangora.social site so I pushed some support for the new fediseer tagging system so that it automatically populates instances in the instance selector.
Instances will populate in it if they:
A list of all tags that are used on the site can be seen at https://pangora.social/tags separated into categories.
I also pushed a little fix to the site so that if theres no instances in a category that category won't show up
For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances
PMs would be ideal but it doesnt work across platforms. I can try to put in a check to see if someones on lemmy and switch to messaging if so but would be a bit since I have a lot of other things to finish up in my backlog of tasks for things like pangora (someone else can feel free to make a pull request though)
Mostly depends on the question content
If its related to the instance topics in any way its fine here or in no stupid questions
(if related to experienced devs then it fits in ask exp devs, related to cs as a career then cs career questions)
If not then it might fit in !lifestyle@programming.dev
If not then !random@programming.dev exists as a collector for everything else and could also get a new community started for specifically that (although I assume itll fit into one of the other two categories)
Tabletop games are fine to post, else we would be something like video game development as opposed to game development
Always nice to see some tabletop games getting made
yeah its not the best system but its whats built into lemmy right now. Probably going to look into changing it
Note: I think most people in here arent going to click on a reddit link so you may get some more views if you link something like a youtube or piped link instead
You can also link directly to the reddit video using this url https://v.redd.it/o6md1vnuemcb1/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback (if you want to set that as the url you can edit the message (click on the three dots, then click edit if youre on web) and then put it into the url box instead of the reddit link)
The bottom right is starting to be built up as a tech corner if any other tech related communities want to join into that (programming.dev, d2jam, toast.ooo, and sc07 currently). There should be a bunch of empty space for people to put stuff
