When you look at games made within the last 30 days, godot is double unity
It looks like you were temp banned from the linux community for 3 days
The comment you made was transphobia which goes against the programming.dev code of conduct. I suggest reading the comment of the user who replied to you and learning how to respect people more
This comment
does not qualify as a "respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else"
Been working recently on a theme library for sublinks that will let themes be written in json files and then be read in and swapped between easily. (Ideally would allow people to make a theme at runtime using UI on instances that then generates a json file or zip file)
Attached is an example theme with some basic colors added in. The assets would be taken to populate theme lists when looking at your themes and variants are variations of a theme (that share everything defined in config but also have their own versions of certain aspects)
Below is some of the variants of the theme (accent color is different between the variants)
This theme is currently on a repo https://github.com/sublinks/starlight but note images will not work yet as previews arent set up
If just a color is entered for a variable (e.g. #1f1f1f) then the variable is set to that color
Mentions can be entered to do the same color as another variable. (e.g. @accent gets the accent color.
Operations can be entered to an operation on the previous value. Putting values fter the operation is like passing arguments to it (not all operations need arguments, some are optional and some have multiple arguments). (e.g. @accent > darken > 2 darkens accent by two steps).
> is used to separate parts of a string that the parser needs to identify
To handle operations, first the string has all of the infix operators replaced with postfix operators. So @accent > darken > 2 becomes @accent > 2 > darken. Then things in the chain between > are interacted with one at a time. If its a color or value it gets popped onto a stack. If its an operation it pulls things from the stack, does the operation, and then pushes the result onto the stack
Back with another update on the home page. Ive added a new communities section on the right, made the right sidebar be able to be hidden, and added in the post sort and scope options above the post feed (as well as fixed some misc bugs)
Will be spending future days now cleaning everything up, adding in behaviours for choosing post scopes and sorts and having that reflected in the feed, and fixing bugs that popped up
Auth has also now been merged in so ill be integrating that into the home feed for things like the subscribed post feed
This update came a little later than I wanted to since ive had some other things I had to finish up but ~~ill be having another update posted tomorrow~~ edit: doing some auth shenanigans which is breaking the build. Logging in is now implemented and added to the home page though :) update soon once some things get merged in
Another update on some progress. Been working on implementing popovers that will show information when you hover over things for long enough. This gives an easy way to get certain information without needing to leave the post feed
Moving your mouse off of the chip or popover closes it so you can keep browsing
Community chips (with the icon and gradient) replace links to communities in markdown. It makes sure that everything is a link relative to your instance and that it can trigger a popover for the community
This is shown in the video below with nested community chips (the description of these communities in lemmy currently link to other communities and those have all been replaced with chips)
More sidebar progress coming tomorrow
edit: if anyones over on the microblog side feel free to follow me there for some more frequent updates as im working on things. Usually will do progress reports there and then larger updates here. @Ategon@bytes.programming.dev
Been a couple months since my last update and theres been some announcements and me settling into the project I said I was merging Pangora into.
The project has been announced now with the name Sublinks and is currently being worked on by a bunch of devs and lemmy admins to make progress towards parity with lemmy quickly
Ive been working on UI design for Sublinks (attached image is an early version of the home page) bringing in aspects I worked on in Pangora and refining them
Will be posting updates over in !sublinks@discuss.online with my progress on the UI!
This community will be dead for awhile until sublinks reaches parity and the new version of Pangora is forked from it
Hey everyone! Ill be starting to share updates on the frontend visuals here like I was doing with Pangora before it got merged into Sublinks
Starting off with some progress I've been making on the Home Page. Been taking things I enjoy from both alternate frontends such as Photon and Tesseract, as well as Misskey forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey.
People who followed me as I was developing Pangora might recognize a lot of similar design decisions
Still in progress but ill try to share new progress at least every couple of days when I work on it with new additions
The left sidebar can be collapsed to show only icons for people who want a bit more space for post cards
Hovering over an option adds a popover saying what it is
In addition when you scroll down the navbar shrinks a bit to give you more space for post cards. On mobile the navbar hides completely when you scroll down and then shows again when you scroll up
The frontend is still heavily in progress so things may change a lot still before release as I refine it. If you've got suggestions feel free to give me them
Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted
Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances
The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users
The 2m there is extremely inflated to to bot sign up spam. Back when instances were getting set up in the reddit migration there was some people that started mass signing up accounts on instances with weak security. Fediverse observer doesnt care about any of that and just shows user accounts regardless of what happens on the instance
Fedidb has a much more accurate count at ~ 400k https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy since they exclude these bot spammed instances. They also have a monthly active user count (~ 38k) based on what instances report for that stat
Place to discuss anything relating to notepad++ whether that be getting help, posting news, showing off features, etc.
For people who dont know what notepad++ is, its a free source code editor for windows https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Hey everyone. Some of you may have seen the recent announcement with blahaj to defederate with the instance. Ive been handling things privately and wanted to do an announcement to catch you all up on the results of that
Realized that not everyone knows how the instance is structured so figured I would do a little section in the front to go over that (especially for visitors reading this from other instances)
We currently have 8 admins in the instance. Of those 2 people are currently lead admins (snowe and I). Majority of admins are part of the community team but not all of them (people are split between infrastructure, development, and community). I was planning out a team page similar to what lemmy.world has to go over this with a bit more detail and that should be coming in the future. Main thing though is its intentionally structured so one person doesnt solely have power (hence the two leads). If one person ends up messing up theres the other lead and the rest of the admin team to talk with them about it and help them do better in the future.
There was a thread in lemmy.ml about the hogwarts legacy game winning a steam award. For reference for the following images + description, snowe is the other lead admin for the instance apart from me and the other people are various other users
There was a conversation that ended up essentially devolving into a slap fight within this post (ive purged the entire conversation so people dont stumble onto it in the future but ill post images here with them for archiving reasons and to explain it)
^ These comments were what initially started it. Essentially it was an argument about the hogwarts legacy game being or being not transphobic
^ Later in the argument
^ One branch that ended up getting triggered due to the frontend snowe uses on mobile not showing pronouns (how most instances handle it currently is its appended to the end of the display name but some frontends choose to ignore the display name and just do the username instead)
There are other branches but it is a very large amount to screenshot and dont want this to completely flood this post. Everything should be available in the modlogs still if you want to dig a bit deeper or I can send other screenshots in the replies on this post if youre interested in what was said for certain parts
Due to the argument above blahaj chose to defederate with programming.dev which was going to take effect 48 hours after their announcement on it. (This is due to the person in the conversation being one of our lead admins which is ultimately understandable as they represent the instance)
snowe has sent a message apologizing to ada (the lead admin for blahaj). I dont know the contents of what was said but if they want the two of them can choose to publicize it.
One of our admins should not have escalated the situation and participated in this slap fight so on behalf of the admin team here were sorry about that
Internally we have a guidebook for admins to follow for the various aspects of the instance (moderation, applications, etc.). Ive refined this guidebook with a couple new rules for admins that should be taking effect in the future
Like I said before in #2 ive also purged the entire conversation to avoid people stumbling onto it and seeing a slap fight with an admin that has since apologized. As the community exists on lemmy.ml I cant fully do this due to how federation works in lemmy but the mods in the community have been doing the same which should federate.
This should not have happened in the first place and we as an admin team will be better going forward
I hope the blahaj instance sees our actions and chooses to reverse the defederation decision but at the end of the day its their instance and they can choose whoever they want to federate with (note federation is done directionally. I will still leave our direction of federation open)
Edit: Blahaj stopped their defederation (shown in an edit on their announcement) so the two instances will still be federated both directions going forward
Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared
old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also voters
both are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though
Thanks for merging in some of my changes <3
Code block support should be great for posts coming from programming.dev and the active user change should help communities feel a bit more alive and be more accurate to actual activity
Zoomed out graph including some months before the join wave
Users/month are relatively stable now at 33x users/month compared to pre join wave (users/month is people who have posted or commented)
For anybody interested, the monthly active users including voters is 131,150 (131k)
The one in the graph only takes into account people who have made a post or comment
Edit: The halfyear active users including voters is 253,166 (253k)
Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144
If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know
Edit: community has been made at !code_review@programming.dev
Theres a new algorithm that should be coming in an update soon (I assume 0.19) called Scaled
This is basically the hot algorithm but takes into account the monthly active users of the community so communities with less monthly active users show up more and arent dominated by the meme communities
Would fix the issue you say there
Hey! Im one of the programming.dev admins and the main mod of this community
I can look into taking over the pr once I get time for it later today or later in the week
