For the background I used tsParticles for the particles, and the gradient behind that uses framer motion to change colors by moving a linear gradient back and forth

Instance is chosen when theres no subcategories for what the user selected

As an example of that when someone first goes to the site they get shown the 10 main categories (technology, gaming, sports, etc.). If they select technology they are then shown the technology subcategories (programming, android, radio, general). if they select general technology that has no subcategories so they are randomly sent to one of the three general technology instances (discuss.tchncs.de, lemmy.sdf.org, or infosec.pub)

A lot of the categories only have one site it sends to but thats fine for now since it still is distributing people to the different sites based on categories

Im not looking at location data at all but in the everything/other category theres countries that can be selected to send the user to country instances

This community got voted to be a collector community for all of the programming content in the instance

So that kind of thing is allowed to be posted here and people in the comments can give people communities to crosspost it to lead them towards that area for future posts

This makes it so users can be lead to other communities in the instance to then post in instead of not knowing where to do so (if theyre in another instance they cant browse our local communities very well in the default UI without needing a third party site)

I can add a way to automate that with a bot in the comments

@[email protected] 5 minutes

^ Example use of the bot

no way other than mentioning it. Used to use keywords to trigger it but that got removed to comply with bot guidelines (and since it only really detected the messages correctly half the time due to how lemmy provides the comments to it). If you type in part of it it should give you an option to autofill if youre using lemmy-ui

PMs would be ideal but it doesnt work across platforms. I can try to put in a check to see if someones on lemmy and switch to messaging if so but would be a bit since I have a lot of other things to finish up in my backlog of tasks for things like pangora (someone else can feel free to make a pull request though)

Oh weird, it shouldnt be functioning in this community since it hasnt been added to the allowlist

For anyone else who wants to test it out please use the other version of the post and going to fix this bug, deleting the messages in here it makes

Update: Bug has been fixed

Needs to be in the community itself for the option to pop up. Went through your history and found one made in the past though so modded you from that

Hey, if youre still willing id be happy to add you. Still have gotten no response from the ones ive been wanting to mod it so opening up the mod position for others. You jsut need a post or comment in the community and let me know
