Learning Rust and Lemmy
393 readers
1 users here now
Welcome
A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.
Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.
Running Projects
- Rust for Lemmings Reading Club (portal)
- Rust beginners challenges (portal)
- Heroically Helpful Comments
Policies and Purposes
- This is a place to learn and work together.
- Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
- This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
- This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules
- Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
- Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
- Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
- See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
- Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

Best case would be someone livestreaming and the rest follow, though idk if anyone wants to do that, and time zones would make it pretty difficult.
Not sure tbh, I've also never partaken in anything like this
Yea, if anyone wants to do live-streaming type stuff and use this community as a rallying point of sorts, if that works, then by all means.
However IMO the best path for this community would be to put that sort of thing to the side and instead use it as an opportunity to do some self-learning first … and then, the moment you get lost, lazy, lose focus or just bored … you can come here, post where you got up to, what got you side tracked and see what discussions flow from there.
You might find someone else’s post tickle your interest and have something to contribute or at least find it an interesting problem to solve yourself.
Some may have simple posts and problems, others big and complex. In the end though, expecting something like a twitch or YouTube channel won’t work. Unless of course some people are happy to start such things, which would be awesome, and would complement this community a great deal as longer offline discussion could happen here.
I think I'd be up to starting a twitch channel. This way anyone who's looking to learn together can jump into chat and we can talk without the pressure involved in a voice chat. Of course, I'd need to find a decent time for everyone. If you're chill with it I (or you if prefered) can make a post later today to gauge interest.
I like the idea as it could spur interaction and a post-stream discussion might result in more activity especially with a larger group all starting at once.
If others like the concept and are willing we could even swap out hosts every so often. I'll start, but others would be encouraged to join in or take over for a day. Especially if they're in another timezone
Late to this thread but I'd be here for a twitch stream
I agree ... that sounds awesome and I think there'd be quite a few up to watch and follow along.
Post away ... I'm happy to pin it too.
I haven't advertised the community elsewhere just because I thought it would make sense to take it slow at first, presuming people from the lemmy community would be relatively keen, but I figure I should start advertising elsewhere soon ... probably doing so in a staggered fashion.
Once you've got a twitch channel running, that'd be worth sharing around the place too.
