The testing instances were all blocked so that test posts didnt start populating the feeds
the voyager instance also has no relation to the voyager app, its not a staging area for it
if theres demand for a testing area we can make a testing community here and hide it from the feeds by default
You just need a post or comment in the community for lemmy to let me mod you
I am noticing where its posting and im adjusting it accordingly based on that
I just didnt see a spot that has more comments than daily users as you said from the spots its posted to,but it has been posting to locations in general
The suggestion there I have fixed. The C programming language isnt being suggested anymore and dotnet and C# dont suggest each other anymore. I usually delete or edit the bots messages to account for my tweaks but forgot to do so there due to it being one of the first so ill do that now, ill also go and do the same for the rest of the bots messages. I agree other people shouldnt need to clean it up which is why ive been doing so and will do the rest now
again 1 comment occasionally isnt spam. This is just the same things over and over though in this chain so will stop on this chain. Just note I will clean up future bot messages and tweak it if it posts incorrectly which it should be doing much less now that its been refined. Other people shouldnt be needing to clean it up (if you call opting out as maintenance work its just one dm to send me and I can then deal with it) and it shouldnt be overwhelming communities. If I deem its been doing fine I can swap it to auto crosspost in the future although this doubles as leading people to post their future posts in that community without needing the bot
Ive been paying attention which is why I dont see the communities youre talking about (especially after ive tweaked things). If youre quoting the instance rules with that theres the rule #5 exception which can make bots transition to be opt out instead of opt in. If you want it removed from c++ node and cloud I can do that (I assume you do considering what youve been saying so will remove the three communities from the bots sight)
which communities? And triggering is relevant since by reducing how its triggered it reduces the about the comments it posts or as you like to call them spam
Ive responded so many times at this point saying why its not spam and why they add value
Just for you ill add a rule that it cant trigger on any of your posts
for node.js it seems like it was triggering on the .js which I just went through and removed so it should get barely any triggers now unless you explicitly mention something
for that community message it sent you posted an article about graphql and about performance
I made it not crosspost by default so I can tweak things and so people are guided for future posts. (and to prevent false positives while im tweaking things). Im purposely tweaking it to fire less and less and like I said im aiming to get it to fire on 2% of the posts
again, block the bot if you dont want it
The article on c/programming was about postgresql and the article on c/postgresql was about performance. Both were articles that could be crossposted to those communities and both are communities that need some more activity so the bot just lets the author and people who enjoy that post know about a community they may not otherwise know about.
Based on firing without me tweaking it to remove that case its fired twice in the past two days, once today and once yesterday out of all of the posts posted to the instance which is barely anything and is nowhere close to spam. There was 46 posts in the instance total today and 85 in the past two days. Its also one comment that can easily be ignored and will be buried by other comments due to how lemmy's default comment sort works with putting newer comments at the top
If you severely dislike the bot you can block it and you will no longer see those comments
I leave this comment ulrik gave you
Current communities that frequently have image posts in the instance are:
dont think thats supported in it currently
all of the editor color settings though can be found by going to editor in the top bar->editor settings->text editor category->theme
lemmy does have pinning yeah
I wrote a bot awhile ago for post scheduling that you can find here https://github.com/Ategon/Lemmy-Frank-Bot
I can add that in to be posted by the version of the bot ive got running
Hey, admin of programming.dev here
Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people
edit, heres some more:
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know of some features ive been working on for the instance and get some feedback on them to shape how they turn out
The main things mostly involve the addition of flairs around the website similar to reddit flairs
The first addition to be added is user flairs. Communities will be able to make flairs for use in their community with self assignable flairs, and flairs given by mods. These could include things like marking people who participated in a special event, adding in what specific programming language you use, or marking people who made contributions like making the community banner.
Mods will be able to create and assign flairs using a button beside the inbox button in the top right, and users will be able to get flairs from the sidebar
Flairs are put into flair groups which only allow certain amounts of flairs from that group to be chosen. For example if you have a role for choosing programming language and you only want people to choose one you can set a max of 1 for that flair group. (This can be set to whatever you want as long as its a nonnegative integer)
Post flairs function essentially the same as user flairs but are put on posts instead. Flairs can be set to be only assignable by mods or able to be assigned by everyone and they are also in flair groups if you only want one of a type to be added (e.g. if you have category post flairs for help, news, etc. and dont want people to assign both help and news to the same post)
Function the same as the other two but are created by admins and set by mods instead of mods and users. Are added to communities to show what category of community it is (e.g. gamedev, webdev, etc.)
Currently in community both admins and mods show up in the mod list. Im aiming to add a small update to only show mods so that admins arent shown (as they arent the ones running the community) unless explicitly added
Ive got an image showing a possible setup for flairs. Currently all the posts in here have the same flair format as its not built apart from basic ui but can give a rough idea of it
note the programming.dev one has more subscribers (although both are around the same) and more activity now, lemmy just doesnt show accurate numbers in local instances
hasnt had a chance to grow until recently since aoc hasnt happened yet
if the admins in world dont get back to you if you want I can add you to the p.d one
