Thanks everyone who volunteered, going to reach out to some people soon (will be prioritizing people with programming.dev accounts)

edit: modded adr1an and dwraf to start off since I like to start communities with two mods. They can choose what they want to do past that. Ill be the primary mod for a bit and then will transfer that to someone in the future

Also for anyone looking to use it on mobile or on alternate frontends, It has mastodon API compatibility

Most mastodon apps should theoretically work but these ones are tested:

Yeah theres a reason why were running the poll rather than explicitly choosing one so thats its more of a community decision. Even before this was ran I knew what would likely be voted but this solidifies that

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

When they dont have a display name set

It depends on what is being called activity

The standard (I say standard but its really just the thing most sites use since it boosts their numbers) that social media uses for monthly active users is to do people who have logged in. This is what mastodon uses as well

While they aren't actively contributing content they are still actively using the site (active account as opposed to dead account)

I think lemmy should match up to the mastodon and other social media calculations so these comparisons actually make sense otherwise were just making lemmy feel dead by calling a different calculation MAU than what people are used to and since both calculations are being compared like they're equal

The 118k is half year aka 6 months

The one around 35k is month

Letting you know that if you enter the link into the url box when making a post people can go to it from the post feed. Also the hashtags dont do anything on lemmy (the posts do get federated over to mastodon but mastodon just has a link to the post rather than the post content)

Theres no official pronounciation

The most common ones are guh-dough & go-dough (+ other variations) with the t silent, but the lead developer as well as a bunch of others call it go-dot and some people put the d in the first syllable instead to do things like god-oo

Q&A with devs talking about it

This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.

The main question communities in the instance though are:
!no_stupid_questions@programming.dev
!ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
!cs_career_questions@programming.dev

The print call there is from python 2. I can do some editing to add in the brackets in a bit

Note for everyone who voted, please see the updated post. Unfortunately had some cheating going on so voting is happening through dms to me now. It will still be single transferable vote like it was in rcv123 but as least this way I can make sure people only vote once

Ive also extended the time to a week so we can catch everyone in the instance
