Issue should be fixed, messed around with the db a bit and seems to work now

Yeah this is more for the new instance that will be started up that will have the potential to interact with it a lot more. Want to keep federation the same across all our instances

Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already

Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon

I've been designing an updated home page recently for it that I'll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly

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)

Yeah, if that's causing the issue you might be running into a case where when trying to make the image smaller it ends up not having enough pixels to show the border properly. Typically people make textures the size of what they want the final texture size to be rather than messing with proportions afterwards due to things like that (and so you don't have to store larger images than required)

Reposting from the python post you did just to make sure you see it

Just wanted to let you know that we dont allow reposting of comments made on other platforms in this instance (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

In terms of this community itself it doesnt really need help with posting. Its got more than 200 monthly active users already and around 4 posts every day

DMCA isnt just piracy, its copyrighted content. There are piracy communities that discuss piracy but dont provide links to the actual content (if theres some that do that link me them and ill deal with them).

Its a gray area in the US (with certain states banning it themselves) and things like the PROTECT Act existing (which is added on to the miller test, it has more than just that to follow) and due to that I would rather err on the side of caution

For a lot of those communities there are alternate communities in other instances (e.g. lemmy.world has a bigger touhou community) or separate accounts can be made

Gives us way more control over what the site looks like and can let us add frontend for features made in pangora.

The main issues in lemmy ui tends to be more about visuals rather than features. It doesn't look great when you're using it. The lemmy devs are also making their own new frontend as well in rust

The core dev of said software put it in a position where it can be forked at any time. If they decide to go crazy in the future and affect how we use the platform were just going to make a fork here and then continue on that. Until then there's just a separation of the developer and the software

(Especially since this is a community for discussing the software due to being c/rust/)

Theres also way more contributors than just dessalines and nutomic for things relating to lemmy now after the wave of people from reddit

Community was made at https://programming.dev/c/notyynot

Dont think so, only way I know is cause I was checking around to see if the bot was responding to people properly and saw that comment early before it was edited

This one im going to hold off on making until someone volunteers to mod
