yeah the interaction per content ratio is extremely high
c/programming was also considered lively last month since it got a bit of a boost from some posts but now its a bit under. Nothing else is close to these two
Yeah, the 1 lively community is programmer humor
its fixable temporarily by restarting the server
I just have a cron job set up to do that every day
There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban
if it has actual content that relates to the community then its allowed
if its paywalled though or doesnt relate to programming then can be removed (programming in a general term since this was voted to be a collector community for all programming content in the instance)
mod here, its not a bot. Just a user who doesnt like to comment
In programming.dev we have a community request zone at [email protected]
You can find info like this in the sidebar if youre on web (and there's going to be a support site made soon)
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
Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db
Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse
For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).
Back from a small break and doing some more programming trivia! Doing a bit of a different format this time as it was a bit hard to guess if you didnt know the names of a bunch of different programming languages by memory
There will be 4 options in the comments you can vote for. Just upvote the one that you think is the answer and ill post the answer + results ~ 12 hours after it started
For this question its just a simple hello world statement
Thanks everyone who helped out! We've got some of our communities who built some stuff in the area and some other people that got incorporated into the dark theme corner
Was a bit of a rush to get things done since I didn't know the event existed until it was already underway but happy with what was done in the time. If anyone wants to team up to make a big artwork next year between our communities feel free to reach out to me. I'll be doing some planning ahead of time to prep
See if you can recognize any communities from the logos over by the P.D text!
The lemmy canvas event has ended! Here's what the final programming.dev section looks like
Thanks to everyone who helped out with making things. See how many community logos you recognize over by the p.d text
The lemmy canvas has been going for 2 days now! Here's what the P.D corner is looking like
Most things are nearing completion and there's been two more larger pieces made by c++ and godot
Theres still 1 more day left in the event if anyone else wants to participate. The website is https://canvas.toast.ooo/
Theres some empty space in the area and you can build on the gray checker pattern as well (just make sure it looks good with everything else)
toast.ooo has hosted a place event for lemmy for the weekend! You can go to https://canvas.toast.ooo and log in using your lemmy account (a bot will send a code to your dms which you can use to verify yourself on the site)
I've started making a programming.dev logo over on the left. Feel free to help out with structure or making something for your community nearby. Theres already c/rust that made a little drawing. Ive been freehanding the looks but aiming to get 5x5 logos of different communities around the p.d text
Will last for the weekend and pixel cooldown is 30 seconds (with it being able to stack up to 6 pixels to place down at once with the stacked ones having a 1 min 30 sec cooldown)
Should be able to write up something larger soon
Ive been working on getting it merged in to another project (thats not been announced publicly yet) & been doing various things like markdown and some supporting sites (shields.io badges, recap, bot list)
