Its semi broken currently and also functions on a whitelist with this community not being on the whitelist

any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens

Since you mentioned not knowing if this is the right community. For any question where you dont know where it goes !no_stupid_questions@programming.dev usually catches everything. Theres also some other question coms at !cs_career_questions@programming.dev and !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev but theyre more specific. I can leave this one here though, its fine (especially since theres a bunch of info here now)

It works, those statuses are just a bit misleading

How it works is it subs to a community (from all instances connected to it) until someone from an instance subs and then it unsubs in that instance. In the previous version of the site when it unsubbed it would mark the instance it unsubbed from as completed on that community (although seems to be a bit broken here)

Last one was a release of a new technology involving AI so would say its fine just on the edge, this ones just a small update post though

Im not modding here though. Could cross post it to lemmy dev regardless, doesnt hurt

The mod here is inactive from the site so they arent managing this as much but I think this is less AUAI content and more !lemmy_dev@programming.dev content since its an update post on a lemmy bot as opposed to AI discussion

If anyone still sees messages from the spammer in the comments let me know, federated removals are wonky sometimes

I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack

Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)

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

It will have lemmy API compatibility on release so it will be

It hasnt been released yet, still working towards parity (but getting there soon)

The first instance using it will likely be sublinks.art and some other instances will be switching over from lemmy when it hits parity like programming.dev and literature.cafe

sublinks.org should have the icon for the project

Once it reaches parity next on the milestones is moderation features and then federation. All of the currently planned tasks are available for viewing on the github https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Im still heavily designing a bunch of the UI for sublinks that will eventually be used instead of the current demo (current one is just showing it has lemmy api compatibility) but if you want a very early sneak peek

Yeah theyre still by far #1 in terms of MAU even when not taking into account votes while everyone else is so might bump it up by another 10k

Its based on what instances report. So instances on 0.19 or above would factor in votes into that number. Ones that arent would not (so the number has a combination of both cases)

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

Its from the microblog side but leaking into lemmy a bit since they mass tag everything they find (which includes lemmy communities)

Its people from here which is people that fit both categories so would say it has some people that do non work programming

We have a discord and matrix community for programming.dev. Currently there isnt much there in terms of chatting about programming itself (mostly just things happening in the instance and lemmy) but there could be

Was bridged but the bridge broke so theyre temporarily disconnected https://discord.gg/3ZzW6dJxHR https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org

yeah people who have been here for longer might have not accurate stats to only the year since I cant get an actual year range of the things I request

itll pull from your entire lemmy history but for most people that will be within the last year

Usually doesn’t change except if I do balance patches or it gets more data

Did a slight change to make adventurer 9 sites instead of 8 but that doesn’t affect you here

The top %s are based on the people that have currently requested their recap. Of those it just got more than 1000 so it will start to put people into legend now and will change who’s in there based on who requests it (e.g. if someone has 2600 comments they’ll now be the legend position)

Explorer and adventurer has the next highest priority after legend (and the other ranks with legend im not spoiling), then vanguard & wizard, then the rest
