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

Policies and Purposes

  1. This is a place to learn and work together.
  2. Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  1. Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
  2. 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.
  3. Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
  4. See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
  5. Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

[META] Thoughts on having a regular “digest”of activity here? (lemmy.ml)

So something I’m thinking about is posting regular (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) “digests” of what’s happened here in that time period. I’ll provide links to posts or comments etc that seem interesting or notable.

This way, stuff can continue in mega threads or “general discussions” as I’m calling them, and then regular posts can appear in people’s feeds and point them to interesting things.

I like the idea of running general discussion mega threads for general chats, but the main issue they have is that activity in these threads/posts won’t appear in your feed. A regular digest helps with that.

Thoughts?

Am I off base in thinking mega threads are a good idea? They only work if people visit this community intentionally, so for getting started, they may just not work at all.

A compromise might be to have a pinned post that collects links to relevant/interesting posts.

I too think megathreads won't work because of the reasons you pointed out.
In spite of that, it might be a good idea to post the digest to other related
communities for advertisement. At this time we need more contents
that to be digested - techinical question posts, reading group activities, links of useful resources, etc.
