that probably would make things more confusing since it would sound even closer to c/technology. You also cant rename communities so it would have to be remade if any name change occured which would lose all the current posts, etc.

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

Bottom of the canvas near the right

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/

added you to a spot around there since you didnt give exact coords. Let me know if you want to be moved on here

For the second, you cant follow accounts on lemmy but you can follow lemmy accounts from mastodon. (it will show both posts and comments the person makes as boosts)

Same for posting, you cant post so it shows up on mastodon since lemmy doesnt have hashtags but you can post and comment from mastodon (post by mentioning the community in the post and comment by replying to a post made on lemmy). Note on posting from lemmy to mastodon though is if you have a mastodon account that follows the lemmy account and comments on posts with hashtags that comment and the parent post will appear in those hashtag feeds, just looks spammy

Itll have api compatibility on release so that will work then with all lemmy frontends

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

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

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

We do have a soft fork for the instance getting built up to add features on top of lemmy

Pangora is soft forked so we get changes pulled from lemmy and add new features we need for the site onto their changes (that can then push to go upstream or have for ourselves if they don't want that feature)

Pangora-UI is built from scratch to replace lemmy-ui as a frontend for the site

!pangora@programming.dev

Created at !pwa@programming.dev

Weve also got a !lemmy_dev@programming.dev community in here that can be posted in

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)

no problem! Yeah haha im participating in gmtk so running and hosting at the same time would be pain
