Theres no comment section on it, theres comments on the mirrored post that gets posted to this community though
Most things will be posted to meta, exception is things like community showcases which go in the community showcase community. Don't see a reason to separate it out to a new community since there wont really be blog posts outside of talking about our instances
Yeah this pretty much just took me a couple hours to build. Figured I would try Hugo out and it works pretty well. I have some more hugo sites coming soon (not using papermod though, itll be with hugo book)
Its more prominent on the archive page but I can add it to home
Currently only uses the score of the last 50 posts and comments the person made since thats public in the API and would still catch the current trolls for now even though its very basic catching
Its people from here which is people that fit both categories so would say it has some people that do non work programming
Yeah, we just have less content to pull from so people running into it on google happens less often
As a quick example of a community if you search up Concatenative Programming and scroll down a bit youll see programming.dev
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
Was bridged but the bridge broke so theyre temporarily disconnected https://discord.gg/3ZzW6dJxHR https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org
Yeah no issues as long as theres spots for people to feel comfortable posting in and interacting in regardless of activity elsewhere (which are c/programming and c/no_stupid_questions) and which is then supported by the crossposts
Ill try to do a better onboarding system to guide people that way
Ill ramp up my posting speed, been doing some more setup for things in the admin team for the past bit as well as switching which rss reader I use. Expect more activity in the instance the next week
Growth over time and SEO
It gets a bunch of activity in the larger community while letting the smaller communities grow. People havent been crossposting currently so it hasnt been happening but I can encourage it more
I mean we are a link aggregator. It aggregates links into the communities for people to view. Its been working so far and ive managed to boost a bunch of communities to have a larger amount of active users/month (the last community on page 1 now has 42 users/month rather than before it was 10 users/month at the end of page 1
I think the better option rather than condense things into less communities is to crosspost things between the larger communities and the smaller communities and make the larger communities more apparent to funnel people into them
We tried the system with people interested in running it with the request system, it didnt work and people didnt actually boost things
Mac is my posting account. I can start crossposting a bunch of stuff I post on it into the general communities if the specific things have less than 100 active users and do some more discussion posts
We switched up how we handle communities a couple times. We didnt start expanding horizontally until the main communities seemed stable and had some good activity (community creation was open publicly starting last month and before that there was the request zone). The posting activity is the same as it was in the previous systems, people just dont want to post and theres the 10% of people comment, 1% of people are posters rule (if its 5-6 posts per hour thats better than the past system as well)
The ones that are visible in new communities are empty mostly because they were just made (~ 100 coms made in the last month). The ones made by me and that are now handled by the vacant account are ones that have sources I can add to my rss reader and then post consistently. For example the elm community has weekly posts on things going on in the ecosystem. This means they wont be dead and should have a solid stream of posts as it builds up active users. Theyre made so they can start collecting people and subs over time rather than attempt to diverge and have nobody know to move over or people not joining at all since they looked for the language by name and didnt find anything (and then I assume people dont want misc changelogs of bug fixes posted to c/programming as well)
The most commonly used sorts in the instance are subscribed sort and local sort. If something is posted in one of the smaller communities people will interact with it in local sort. Crossposting is also highly recommended. I can maybe somehow make that more apparent than it already is
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("Enter a number:");
int input;
readf("%d", &input);
writeln("Factorial:", factorial(input));
}
int factorial(int n)
{
if (n <= 1)
return 1;
return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

function isPalindrome(str)
str = str:gsub('%s', ''):lower()
return str == str:reverse()
end
local input = "A man a plan a canal Panama"
if isPalindrome(input) then
print("It's a palindrome!")
else
print("It's not a palindrome.")

Testing out a new voting system of using strawpoll so that vote totals can be hidden. A thing I noticed in some of the previous rounds was that people would pile on to the same option. Loses a bit of the ease of vote but shouldnt be too bad since you can just instantly vote after you go to the site
You can vote for what you think it is here: https://strawpoll.com/xVg7j6Q5Rnr
Voting ends in 12 hours and then ill post here with the results. You can talk about it below but if you want to talk about the correct answer put it in spoiler tags
