New User Monitoring by Ategon in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For context this is for programming.dev specifially and affects our users rather than something on any fediverse software (figured I would mention that since it was cross posted into the main fediverse com with no context)

Reposting my answer to a comment on the main p.d post just so theres no confusion on this

Processing is local. Were not sending data to an LLM but the method is hidden so bad actors cant bypass it
The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
Worst thing it can automatically do is temporarily remove a post/comment until an admin can approve or deny it just so its not there for people to run into (for example if someone spams slurs at someone else the someone else doesnt see that instead of it being there until an admin is able to come online)

When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such

It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once

edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)

Canvas ends in 22 hours! (lemmy.nz)

Its the last day of the !canvas@toast.ooo event with it ending 22 hours from when this post is made.

This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed

Theres still some work that needs to be done for the programming.dev design so any help getting that up is appreciated. There's also still blank space around the canvas if anyone wants to add in their own designs.

Event link: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

The programming.dev design template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=380&y=297&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2Ff2c5ff7d-e015-40be-851d-81ecf3c9e77c&tw=66&tx=403&ty=393&ts=DOTTED_SMALL (were near the bottom right)

Theres a timelapse of the event up to the current point at https://sc07.tv/w/sV6dtF1u1e3wMDB24k2fqZ

Happy pixel placing!

Canvas is happening in almost a day! This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed

The event link is here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

This is the third time the event is taking place. Theres an image in the post of what the p.d area looked like the second time it happened (were using a similar ish template this year with some differences so its different than last year)

The main locations for dicussing the event for programming.dev is this community, our discord and our matrix if you want to chat with other people participating

Theres a design that will be getting made for programming.dev in general but if any communities want to organize something feel free to plan out something nearby or elsewhere on the canvas. Any help getting the programming.dev design built will also be really appreciated since then we will be able to expand out the design and get more communities represented in the community icons

You can use this template to know where to place pixels for the programming.dev design when the event is happening

Combined all the templates I could find into one giant template for ease of seeing where theres free space

Feel free to reply with other templates for me to add them on or with updates to templates

Theres currently 3 space conflicts (with smaller art going on the same spot as larger art)

Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it by Ategon in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 27 points 2 years ago

I dont know what youre concerned about relating to it but

Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

The President of the United States is blocked on this instance by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Were defederated from threads due to the community vote that voted to do so

As well, Lemmy cant view threads posts so even if this instance was federated with threads theres another thing stopping it and that is stopping every other instance from viewing all of the content (comments to lemmy posts show up but nothing else atm)

PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude by Ategon in c/technology@lemmy.world

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

Lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19.3 - expect a large increase in reported monthly active users in communities counters, as votes now count as activity by Ategon in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 30 points 2 years ago

Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj

sh.itjust.works removed it locally for their instance hence why you dont see it. Hasnt been removed in the source instance though yet so instances that didnt remove it locally still have it

Updated - programming.dev defederation on hold by Ategon in c/main@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Hey im the admin mainly in charge of the community over on programming.dev (+ the other lead admin). Can you point out a case of this happening and I can see if I need to handle it

We moderate things in our instance if its reported but if its not reported it cant really be found easily

(also for the main post, im chatting with your admin about it)

What Lemmy communities would you like to share that we may not know about? by Ategon in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

!science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
!programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
!gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
!software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
!android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

!chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
!anime@ani.social - anime instance
https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

The user numbers in Lemmy communities don't add up by Ategon in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

users/day and users/week is from all instances. Only subscribers are from your own instance (so the other two comments are wrong)

The reason is cause that only counts users who have either posted or commented and not those who have upvoted only

Theres been some confusion recently with W4 games and godot. Essentially some people who run godot made a company called W4 games to handle things such as console ports that godot itself cant do due to being open source. W4 games raised 8.5 million dollars from investors https://w4games.com/2022/09/13/w4-games-raises-8-5-million-to-support-godot-engine-growth/ and recently godot has created a blog post saying they need more funding https://godotengine.org/article/funding-breakdown-and-hiring-process/ .

One of the arguments thats been going around is why is godot saying theyre going to scale back development and say they have lack of funding when W4 just got a big investment. The thing is though that the two entities are separate and have separate income and goals

Heres some points people have made for and against this
