Changing this to the lowest value (0.01) makes suggestions always appear instantly for really quick coding
I'm continuing my tip series with some more tips (ended up stopping it before since I got busy with some projects). Will have a goal of having tips at least until the new year
Hey everyone! Recently made yet another jam game with this one being made for the 12th brackeys jam
Theme of the jam was Calm before the Storm so instantly thought of a system similar to Frostpunk where you have a city and then conditions end up getting worse as time goes on. This was then adapted to be a city that is getting more flooded over time after brainstorming with my jam team.
If youve got any feedback feel free to throw it below or on the game page. I should be eventually pushing out a post jam update based on the feedback gotten

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before
You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here
Since mods and admins can't control what gets hashtagged it can hashtag the completely wrong things
For example we have a community called c/loud. This is a cloud community but will be hashtagged with #loud
We also have a community called c/meta and similar other communities but the hashtag should be something similar to programming.dev meta since meta itself doesn't make sense. Currently its assuming you know what scope of meta you're in due to it being attached to the instance but hashtags are free for alls so the hashtag is going to be impossible to follow (other communities that fall within this are comics, events, books as they are programming or programming.dev specific which is currently assumed due to the url)
That would massively hinder growth since actual users would get affected and then leave since they can't actually use the platform
Probably better to set up some link blacklists and then add things to it based on what spammers are linking to
edit: what you linked to is also not a community, did you mean !technology@lemmy.world or !tech@programming.dev?
Made a small arcade-like game for a recent gamedev competition
Every time you hit an edge of the screen you get smaller and you need to collect balloons to increase your size so you can survive longer
Entire thing was made in 12 hours and people voted on 10 different things I was forced to include into the game in some way (balloon, pigeon, sword, fish, cloud, trilobite, dolphin sfx, music I used for the title screen, trumpet fanfare sfx, pigeon sounds)
Enjoy, if youve got any feedback feel free to let me know and I can take that into account if I do some post jam work or for future games like this I make
As more people use https://lemmy-federate.com more niche communities will show up in most large instances by default
Imo its the ideal solution since it populates the posts in the all feed for people who don't know about the site to still see
There typically will always be some form of controversy, tends to be just how the admins handle that
I try to keep this instance federated with instances as much as reasonable (the only lemmy instances we really defederate with are burggit and rqd2 since their instance rules break our instance rules, lolicon+DMCA ignoring for the first and very questionable communities in the second (zoophilia, MAP)) and were dealing with the situation in this post internally currently to solve the situation here with blahaj. Should make a post in meta probably tomorrow
I can give some recommendations of some instances with admins ive had positive experiences with (im one of the programming.dev leads though if that affects my stances on this)
There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban
Advent of code is an coding advent calendar where a new puzzle is released every day for people to solve
The numbers there (apart from the timer) in the site that was linked can be clicked to bring you to specific puzzles (1 aka Day 1 for the puzzle on the 1st of december, 2 aka Day 2 for the 2nd of december, etc.)
they start out easy and get harder as time goes on. Theyre intended for all levels due to that and theres two different difficulties per day (the harder one being unlocked when you do the easy one). Basically anyone can do day 1
Heres stats for how many people completed each day last year https://adventofcode.com/2022/stats
Ive been working on a soft fork of lemmy called Pangora to prioritize development on different areas that the main lemmy codebase has been neglecting (such as mod tools). Gives a different option than the main lemmy codebase for supporting development and as redundancy for if anything goes wrong (although not production ready atm as its still getting mostly set up) !pangora@programming.dev
LemmyBB is just an alternate frontend. It is possible to not federate with any other instances though by turning federation off in the instance settings
A bunch of the users on programming.dev have accounts in smaller and personal instances rather than in p.d itself since they can host instances. You can see some of the logos in our area such as c++ and some of rust are missing
People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site
Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with
