yeah the interaction per content ratio is extremely high

c/programming was also considered lively last month since it got a bit of a boost from some posts but now its a bit under. Nothing else is close to these two

Yeah, the 1 lively community is programmer humor

its fixable temporarily by restarting the server

I just have a cron job set up to do that every day

There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban

  • Posts would be deleted and then reposted (especially if the original post had a negative score)
  • Conflicting information in some of the articles

if it has actual content that relates to the community then its allowed

if its paywalled though or doesnt relate to programming then can be removed (programming in a general term since this was voted to be a collector community for all programming content in the instance)

mod here, its not a bot. Just a user who doesnt like to comment

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In programming.dev we have a community request zone at [email protected]

You can find info like this in the sidebar if youre on web (and there's going to be a support site made soon)

It depends on what is being called activity

The standard (I say standard but its really just the thing most sites use since it boosts their numbers) that social media uses for monthly active users is to do people who have logged in. This is what mastodon uses as well

While they aren't actively contributing content they are still actively using the site (active account as opposed to dead account)

I think lemmy should match up to the mastodon and other social media calculations so these comparisons actually make sense otherwise were just making lemmy feel dead by calling a different calculation MAU than what people are used to and since both calculations are being compared like they're equal

Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db

Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).

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

Comment language bug fix (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Ive recently been made aware of a language bug existing from building up my remindme bot

The bug was that comments from platforms such as kbin will naturally be set to an undetermined language regardless of what the community language settings are. This makes it so that if people try to reply to that comment, lemmy will break and not let the reply be posted (since its a language that goes against what the community has set)

As a fix to this I have set every community I have access to to be able to handle every single language. (This should be about 90% of the communities, you can check the list in my profile). You shouldnt run into any language invalid errors anymore and should be able to talk to people from kbin now in almost all communities in the instance

You may still run into the bug in other instances though depending on what they have their community language set to

 

Unity has 59% of all games Godot has 19% Gamemaker has 5% And unreal has a bit below 5%

Compared to last year Unity (-4%) Godot (+7%) Gamemaker (-6%) Unreal (~)

Saw the author tooting about this project on Mastodon and I wanted to share it with everyone here.

We’ve all been there. You get to the end of a game jam and realise you need to set up an Itch page asap, or you’re wrapping up a long term project and you’re too burnt out to have the energy to even think.

This is a template pack that aims to take that pesky thinking out of the process. Just follow the template dimensions for the various images on your Itch page, and that’s one less thing to worry about and one more thing helping you stand out from all those unloved pages out there.

Bot I made for the [email protected] community to notify me when a post got a large amount of upvotes so I can make the requested community. Can be adapted for different cases if you want to ping someone, give a congratulations message, etc.

If you have any feature requests feel free to throw them into the issues tab in the repo

Heres a list of lemmy bots that you can find! If you have any to add feel free to add a reply and mention them


Global Bots (active in most instances)


  • ⌛ RemindMe (programming.dev) - A reminder bot that triggers off of both mentions and keywords to catch people trying to use the reddit bot syntax.


  • 🔗 CommunityLinkFixerBot (lemmings.world) - A bot that responds with fixed links to communities when a regular community link is posted so people dont have to leave their instance


Programming.Dev Bots (active in certain communities in programming.dev)





  • 🤖 AutoTLDR - A bot that creates a summary of a post, comment, or link when mentioned


feddit.nl Bots (active in certain communities in feddit.nl)


  • 📈 tcbot - A bot that shows currently trending communities

 

Im currently hosting this bot here on programming.dev and have it set to federate with everything programming.dev does so you dont need to self host

To trigger the bot just tag @[email protected] at the start of your comment and then put the amount of time you want to be reminded in

  • Supports everything from seconds to years up to a maximum of 10 years
  • Supports other activitypub platforms as long as they can make a message in lemmy (ex. mastodon)

If you have any improvements or suggestions feel free to make an issue/pull request in the repo

~~Edit: Now works based on keywords so you can summon it with !remindme instead of a full ping~~ See edit 4

~~Edit 2: Kbin seems to break it if your comment doesnt have language set to english. Not something I can fix, kbin is going to have to~~ See edit 3

Edit 3: Ive fixed the kbin bug for all communities in the instance. No promises if it doesnt respond in a non programming.dev instance though as their language settings may be different and block replies to your comments

Edit 4: The bot is temporarily offline so I can make it follow the lemmy.world bot guidelines

 

This is a bot I made for the programming books community here on programming.dev to prevent pirating but can be adapted to any community.

It has functionality for both a whitelist and a blacklist and has templates so you can share ban lists between communities. It also detects in both posts and comments

Since it deals with deleting messages it needs mod permissions in communities you want to use it for

Feel free to dm me if you need some help with getting it set up

 

This is a place where you can share and discuss books relating to the instance

Links are currently disabled in the community. If you have a domain that you feel should be whitelisted feel free to let me know and ill add it. (This rule is just in place to prevent pirating books)

And if you want to be a mod for the community let me know
