What is Lemmyvision?

For people who don't know what lemmyvision is, its a competition where communities on lemmy all submit a song to then be voted on by the participants. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

Voting

7 tracks have been submitted and you can now rank them to determine which one is sent to the competition. Rank them with 1 being your top option and 7 being your bottom option. Heres links to the 7 songs so you can listen to them if you haven't already. Voting closes in 3 days.

Hello everyone! This is the post to determine the category of what to send for the Lemmyvision song content for Programming.Dev this year!

What is Lemmyvision?

For people who don't know what lemmyvision is, its a competition where communities on lemmy all submit a song to then be voted on by the participants. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

In lemmyvision 1 P.D sent a song from Casette Beasts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjeTwn9uA3Y

This Edition

For this edition I thought it would be fun to team up P.D with another community I help out with (that will soon be joining the fediverse as well!) D2Jam is a game jam run 2 times a year where people need to make games in 3 days. As part of that are composers that need to compose music for the games within the 3 days. We could submit an song from the jam as the entry for programming.dev to get more eyes on the composers there since some of them are really good but don't have much eyes on their work atm (and it would help people discover songs from lesser known artists that need the discovery).

Examples of some of the songs https://d2jam.com/m/tony-plantony, https://d2jam.com/m/reap-what-you-sow, https://d2jam.com/m/planty-of-us, https://d2jam.com/m/its-watering-time, https://d2jam.com/m/planted (these are not necessarily the ones that would be voted on for what to be sent, these are just some of them from the most recent edition)

I set up a poll where you can vote on whether to do this or just do a regular game soundtrack submission like it was done in lemmyvision 1 (note that it would be limited to only things released in 2025 and 2026 either way). Anyone can vote even if your account is not in P.D (since many people that use the communities have their accounts elsewhere)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/tech@programming.dev

Hey everyone. Just wanted to do a post to pin in the community just to enforce the difference between c/tech and c/technology more since there's been more and more rule breaking posts popping up and I don't want to put more work on maintaining here since there's no dedicated mod team for it atm

This is a community oriented towards underlying tech so for new things happening in the tech world as opposed to misc legislation and company news

Examples of posts that fit here

  • Wi-Fi 8 will bring reliability rather than greater speed
  • App that translates speech to sign language in real-time wins top innovation prize
  • FDA approves breakthrough eye drops that fix near vision without glasses
  • We hacked into a bowling alley computer | The Serial Port
  • Scientists Make First Mechanical Qubit
  • New version of the PNG image standard released

Examples of posts that do not (and should go into c/technology instead)

  • Atlassian moved 4 million Postgres databases to AWS Aurora
  • Verizon Announces CEO Transition
  • Tailwind Labs Cuts 75% Engineers: AI Kills CSS Tools
  • Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Preview

Since it wasn't being enforced as much some older rule breaking posts are still up but things should be getting enforced more from now on (if something sneaks through and gets large with no presence in the other communities I can leave it up but ideally it would go into c/technology instead)

If someone wants to mod this community feel free to let me know since it doesn't have a mod team atm

Slight Christmas Outage (programming.dev)

Hey everyone! Sorry for the few hours of outage on the site. There was an issue with the renewing of the SSL certificates and in standard fashion it happened at the worst time when nobody could fix it quickly.

Drove back to my PC and renewed it so the site should be fine now. Hope everyone has a good rest of the holidays!

Misc Frontend Updates (stacks.programming.dev)

All alternate frontends have been updated to their recent versions.

  • Alexandrite (a.programming.dev) has been updated to version 0.8.20
  • Photon (p.programming.dev) has been updated to version 2.2.2
  • Tesseract (t.programming.dev) has been updated to version 1.4.41
  • Voyager (v.programming.dev) has been updated to version 2.42.0

Hope you enjoy the new changes on them! Theres too many changes to list them all here but if you’re interested you can look at the releases page for each one.

Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 52 points 2 years ago

Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 40 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 32 points 2 years ago

The way the instance is set up theres multiple lead admins

snowe tends to be in charge of infrastructure side of things while I do development and community management. snowe is listed first in the admin list but I basically have the exact same access to the site resources

Not trans, just use any/all pronouns

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 36 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 52 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It affects already released games as well, just the fee is only applied for new downloads in 2024 and after (but the calculation of total downloads for whether you're hit by the fee includes everything)

Very questionable decision by them and just solidifies my switch to godot where I don't have to pay anything (and I'm sure the vast majority of the game jam crowd will be switching over as well)

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 32 points 3 years ago

Yeah p.d admin here. I only found out about the event when someone in my instance made a comment referencing it when it was underway.

Getting contacts with admins of various instances ready to give them information as new events roll around is going to be key for growing participants. If people want I can set up a matrix chat for showing off and giving info for future lemmy events and then that can be centralized into there instead of needing to do separate dms.

Theres already an instance admin chat but would likely drown out the event posts since there's other topics discussed in there
