Group Name: D2Jam

Game jam that happens twice a year (eventually having a connection to activitypub through sending posts in the forum as microblogs to be visible on things like mastodon and getting posts from things like mastodon that use the d2jam hashtag). Site is still under construction atm though since its very new

The template has the d2jam logo as well as characters from games that were submitted to the first jam event that we ran! Anyones free to help out with construction if you want

fun fact: theres 29 games on the site you could play right now : )

• Site (has a forum in it): https://d2jam.com/
• Discord: https://discord.d2jam.com/

Sites back, communities that previously had their community page not vieweable are now viewable

An example of this is https://programming.dev/c/a11y

Basically what I did was before the maintenance exported every single post in the post table and use a js script to check for duplicate ap_ids (checking using sql itself didnt work due to broken indices so it was always missing some). Then I generated sql statements to remove duplicate posts that had higher ids than the other posts theyre a duplicate of. Ran all those during maintenance and since all duplicate ap_ids were removed I could now reindex the table to fix the broken indices

Did the same for communities after the posts (but also did some statements to move posts from one version of the community to the other)

Site might be slow for a tiny bit as it processes the 2 hour of activities that were generated while it was down

For people on other instances, you might not see posts 29 and 30 due to some issues (e.g. people on .world) but you can see them by going to https://programming.dev/c/godot

Seeing what people voted for isn't public in the api (cant even get that from someone being logged in). Only posts & comments made for non login info

Ill be submitting some logos and another banner that im making in gimp later in the week

Edit: exams are pain, will do that before the end of the month

added functionality for the two rules

• getting all communities with a certain slug
• exclude instance with domain X from above rule

was running into rate limits when trying to check every single linked instance so ive manually put in the larger ones for now

The one issue I ran into is alternate UIs other than lemmy-ui dont seem to collapse crossposts in the post feed so the recommendation of cross-posting everything floods people not using lemmy-ui

Going through and making issues in all of their repositories

yeah although I havent pushed changes to a repo recently, ill do that and share in a sec

figured having it as a message also makes it a spot where readers can see communities for that topic as well

I've been working on a new frontend (pangora-ui) thats a similar style in terms of design. Theres some progress over in !pangora@programming.dev. These features can't be put into that though since the frontend is instance specific (lemmy-ui equivalent) and this is for all instances (join-lemmy equivalent)

I tried messaging an account I though was running it when your bots posted something to elixir but I can repost it here

Just wanted to let you know that we dont allow reposting of comments made on other platforms (both for spam reasons and tends to be a mess with gdpr). Link posts with no text are fine as long as you get approval from a moderator of a community or by one of the admins for site wide usage (and then allow moderators to opt out), and follow our bot guidelines that you can find in the sidebar on our site. Id be willing to greenlight the bot for sitewide usage as long as you remove the comments, make posts links only (links to the content, not the reddit post) and limit it to maximum 10 posts a day across the instance (max 2 in a specific community) (and also make sure you dont repost stuff already posted in the community). We have another bot called reddit x-poster that its been working fairly well with but they hang out in a couple communities like haskell

This was a cross post rather than a direct post to the community so it acts the same as if its posted on two different communities here like a lemmy cross post (with different threads based on the community the post is on)

If someone on mastodon commented on this version of the thread their comment would show up here

true moving posts could be something that could be done if lemmy is set to deal with that. I can check to see how difficult that would be to put into lemmy and possibly push a patch out.

If we get that functionality in we can do another poll to determine whether it should switch to that but for now im just polling these options since I assume it wont be a thing for a bit (I tried to push another patch out to the site to make the request community more prominent but it seemed to be having issues with certain aspects of the changes so that needs to be fixed before we can get some updates out)
