Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend

demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility

Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them

sublinks.org should have the icon for the project

Once it reaches parity next on the milestones is moderation features and then federation. All of the currently planned tasks are available for viewing on the github https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Im still heavily designing a bunch of the UI for sublinks that will eventually be used instead of the current demo (current one is just showing it has lemmy api compatibility) but if you want a very early sneak peek

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

Alright. Yeah I assume it would mostly be indie game soundtracks which tend to not exist outside of games

Will get that set up in our events community once I'm off work

Are vocals required and does it have to be from the past year? edit: read the info post and saw that yeah past year and yes to vocals due to language requirement

Would programming.dev be able to participate or is it mostly oriented around countries/country instances

E.g. entering with songs from games (which usually span multiple countries for the production of them and aren't represented in these types of comps)

Weird, might need to raise that as an issue on the lemmy repo

Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj

Theres a lot more users that dont even vote as well

For programming.dev currently we have~ 1.2k MAU. Including people who have an account but dont vote or comment we get closer to 2k. And then including people who dont have an account we get much higher (~ 80k per day but that includes crawlers and bots)

They show up above the posts, below the navbar

A random one is chosen to show up every time someone visits the page. You can check out https://programming.dev for some examples of them (usually itll be an http status code or a quote)

Instances either put announcements there (e.g. future downtime), core info (e.g. links to frontends, donate link) or random sentences. Can only be one of the options out of those three though unless you want to delete and remake things a bunch of times to swap between them if you want everyone to see the downtime message

Current estimation is around 200 dollars a month. All these small sites im spinning up barely add anything since the usage is negligible compared to something like lemmy. The production server takes up most of the costs out of that amount and then sendgrid costs some

Donations cover ~ 41% of that currently

In terms of time its been taking up most of my free time to set all this up + help develop sublinks

Thanks, creator pushed out a fix so updated to that

Not in lemmys current markdown system

Can theoretically be parsed and embedded though but can't control all frontends people use

Only thing that works atm is linking to it

We have another site more oriented towards images and text and then linking those at files.programming.dev but its limited to admins. e.g. of something on that http://files.programming.dev/u/9jsOS3.md
