Yeah I reduced the amount of transparency on the post cards after this round of testing. Now only half transparent

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

ah yeah I havent looked into the configs too much. Not sure how it would deal with renames but you can ask in the lemmy matrix or something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

for the backend yes

frontend is a separate project but its using similar things to construct it so if its a vital feature it can be redone in lemmy-ui pretty quickly. Already gave them code block support for 0.18

Yeah you can redirect or you can make lemmy.[something] and forum.[something] point towards the same ip or same port depending on how youve set it up (if you want lemmy.[something] to still work else you can just change it to forum)

yeah I can add in a post template to the guidelines. probably wont make it mandatory or else itll probably just end up annoying first time posters more than anything when their stuff gets removed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

still semi fleshing it out but I think something like people adding on two links to posts they reviewed in the post requesting review

or trying to plan out if theres a way I can automate it with a bot by commenting a certain thing on a post that requested review to mark that you reviewed it

with that there would need some way for people to have things to initially review to get the community started. Could do something like after the first 3 posts the point system goes into effect

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that only works for certain file types afaik. I know in 4.1 there was one time I messed with a files location and had to update manually, forget which file type it was though

Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144

If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know

Edit: community has been made at [email protected]

"No connection to the Voyager app, it's a staging environment for Lemmy named re: Star Trek". Theyre saying its a staging area for lemmy itself not voyager

its named after the tv series star trek voyager. theres also enterprise.lemmy.ml named after star trek enterprise

Update: made [email protected] and hid it from the feeds for an in-instance testing area

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that exists in instances such as lemmit.online

the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked

Now that people have settled in a bit into the instance and we have over 100 communities created I've created a new community that new community requests are going to be moved into rather than the pinned thread

Feel free to post community ideas in there and they will be considered to be added once they hit 7 points from upvotes

You can also request to take over communities that have inactive mods there

You can find the it using these links:

Community Icon Poll (strawpoll.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Edit: This link is outdated, see new poll here https://programming.dev/post/190520

Hey everyone

Wanted to run a poll about the community icons to choose between a couple options

Option 1 - Use UBP icons - Use unified icons for all of the communities similar to beehaw

Option 2 - Use UBP for general communities and specific language, etc. icons for specific communities

Option 3 - Dont use UBP icons

Vote using the strawpoll here (doing strawpoll so it can be ranked voting) [removed in favor of new post]

EDIT: I have remade the poll with two more options. If you voted in the previous one please vote again in this. The new options are just for adding different colored gradients to the unified icons for different communities

Quick example of this:

New Community Icons (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Ive been working on some unified icons for the instance so the icons feel like they belong together

Let me know if you like them or if there's some adjustments I should make

Some examples from ones I've done

The majority of them are generated from https://game-icons.net/ with the settings of foreground being shrunk twice and position being x:2 y:2. Foreground color is diagonal from 2EE5D2 to A01FC5. And has a shadow with color 423025 and blur set to 15. The background color is just black

 
 

Hey everyone, I've just finished up my second bot in the instance after Frank my thread posting bot. This one is called Mega and is just used to auto post any new posts that come up from RSS feeds to certain communities.

Currently I just have it set up in the Godot and Unreal communities but if you're modding a community in the instance and want a feed added let me know.

I also have the source code available here if you want to look at it or host a version of it yourself.

 

Short video where he goes over a couple important things

  • Add an icon to your game
  • Add a splash screen
  • Set the main scene of your project properly
  • Add your game name in the project settings + localizations
  • Make fullscreen the default (most of the time)
  • Add a custom mouse cursor
  • Enable AA if applicable to get rid of jaggies

Frank - Community Bot (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hey everyone! Ive been working on a bot you may see popping up in the communities I manage (the gamedev ones). Currently it will just post the daily threads like screenshot saturday, etc. automatically so they always go up and so its feasible to post them in multiple communities

If you want to block messages from the bot so you don't see these daily and weekly threads, you can do so in your user settings by disabling the show bot accounts checkbox. This will hide all bots from your view (You can also block the bot if you only dont want to see stuff from it but you want to see other bots)

If youre modding a community and want a thread posted every week, a daily discussion, or something similar let me know and I can add it to the bot functionality
