They should already be up, if theyre down again that means theres an issue ill fix rn
edit: fixed
Its semi broken currently and also functions on a whitelist with this community not being on the whitelist
Since mods and admins can't control what gets hashtagged it can hashtag the completely wrong things
For example we have a community called c/loud. This is a cloud community but will be hashtagged with #loud
We also have a community called c/meta and similar other communities but the hashtag should be something similar to programming.dev meta since meta itself doesn't make sense. Currently its assuming you know what scope of meta you're in due to it being attached to the instance but hashtags are free for alls so the hashtag is going to be impossible to follow (other communities that fall within this are comics, events, books as they are programming or programming.dev specific which is currently assumed due to the url)
Programming.dev one is currently stuck on the last version we can upgrade to (and looks like lemmings and reddthat as well) since any upgrades just makes photon a white screen due to the tooling upgrade
No, things are moving along though (pictrs upgrade was just completed). Again I'm not going to give a date were going to upgrade at apart from warning before we do so since it won't be followed due to us all being volunteers and things changing due to issues coming up
0.19.4 is annoying since it adds the hashtag additions where posts are auto hashtagged with the community name. I was aiming to Ideally remove that from the codebase before we upgrade but we might have to upgrade with that in it
That would massively hinder growth since actual users would get affected and then leave since they can't actually use the platform
Probably better to set up some link blacklists and then add things to it based on what spammers are linking to
edit: what you linked to is also not a community, did you mean [email protected] or [email protected]?
pictrs is still upgrading but I believe its mostly usable atm
pict-rs is the image service yeah
Yeah I recently made it so that I can start building up an alternative to [email protected]. Did the same for a couple other lemmy.ml communities that fit within the instance due to some recent lemmy.ml related threads
There probably will be a bunch of crossposts from the other ones until it gets large enough to have its own posts and im also going to cross post some stuff using my non admin account in the future. Encouraging some other users to cross post as well
The links to the other posts show up below in a cross-posted to section so you can still access it if you want. The limitation on it needing to be the same page comes from this handling happening on the frontend instead of the backend. Ideally imo backend should handle it like how it handles the cross-posts displayed when looking at the post itself
Image linked has a red line for where the cables currently planned to go. Any help is appreciated to give our monitor some power!
I started the cable from the outlet and its currently the gray color (third from the left) and will have some parts that need to be shadowed shadowed with the fourth color from the left in the palette
After 15 hours of canvas being active we have finished the design for the instance (and c/godot is also complete over there as well)!
Theres one faction that is going around attacking things sometimes so we still need to defend the design but feel free to go out and help our neighbors! You can find some of the designs over in the group finder thread https://programming.dev/post/16546238
One of our neighbors who needs some help is lemmy.zip. You can find their template here if you want to help build up their logo https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=291&y=417&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FhuITY4p.png&tw=71&tx=255&ty=375&ts=NUMBERS
The canvas event has just started and will be active for 3 days. You can find the programming.dev templates here:
one to one template for an instance design: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=402&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
And then a dotted template here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=403&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=DOTTED_BIG
(includes the programming.dev area, toast.ooo, and c/godot currently)
And then an image of the design
The fediverse canvas event is starting in a couple hours (event similar to r/place) and similar to last year I figured we can place the godot logo on it!
Canvas is an event where everyone can place a pixel every so often on a shared canvas. This can overwrite previously placed pixels which can lead to communities fighting for space on the canvas
You can find the link to it here: https://canvas.fediverse.events
I set up a template beside the main programming.dev area that you can find from the below links. This can be edited if theres another godot design people like more but figured it was a good start. For real time chatting im active on the programming.dev discord and matrix
one to one template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=423&y=472&zoom=5&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F4ce62a78-1476-4842-a2df-fcb84049a52a&tw=44&tx=386&ty=429&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
Ive updated the canvas template a bit to include more communities below the main logo. Tried to include as many things as I could although a bunch are still missing
Template links:
Row 1:
Row 2:
Row 3:
Row 4:
Row 5:
Row 6:
Row 7:
Row 8:
Row 9:
Might do another update to add on even more if I get time to do so
I collected together all of the templates I could find for different groups (originally did this to see where I can expand the programming.dev template out to but figured other people might be interested so they can see where there wont be as much conflict for space
Most of these are from the group finder thread. Some may be a pixel off but I tried to get things as close as possible (some of these are recreated since I couldnt get the source image from imgur or the source image is larger and was shrunk for the canvas with me not being able to replicate the shrink behaviour)
The factions included in here are:
Ill try to do an updated post if needed with additional factions that post their templates close to when the event starts
And if theres anyone who wants to join up with the programming.dev template if youre tech related or if you want to ally feel free to reach out (you can find our groups in the group finder thread)
edit: moved SquaredCircle since they moved to not overlap with Osu
edit 2: added Lilou41's template
edit 3: updated osu and bronies to be more recent art
edit 4: added Lvxferre's template
edit 5: added touhou hijack
edit 6: added jlai lu
edit 7: added scp
edit 8: added godot and ategondev
edit 9: added anarchy chess, perchance, and feddit
edit 10: added another aus template
edit 11: fixed aus size
edit 12: moved triangle position
edit 13: added dolls now and paf
edit 14: updated toast art
Canvas is happening in almost a day! This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed
The event link is here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/
This is the second time the event is taking place. Ive attached an image of what our area looked like the first time it happened.
Last time canvas took place it was limited to only lemmy users due to limitations in the log in system. This time however its open to all fediverse users so there will probably be a lot more competition for space
The main locations for dicussing the event for programming.dev is this community, our discord and our matrix if you want to chat with other people participating
Theres a design that will be getting made for programming.dev in general but if any communities want to organize something feel free to plan out something nearby or elsewhere on the canvas. Any help getting the programming.dev design built will also be really appreciated since then we will be able to expand out the design and get more communities represented in the community icons
You can use this template to know where to place pixels for the programming.dev design when the event is happening
edit: added c/godot and toast.ooo to the template
This design may get updated as the event goes on so check for any updates every so often so you dont erase work
Ill be active over in the event channel in discord & matrix (theyre bridged to each other) and will be posting some announcements in this community. Feel free to make posts relating to the event in here
Hey everyone! Theres an event upcoming for the fediverse in 1 week (you can see the countdown from this site: https://canvas.fediverse.events/). This is an event similar to place and ran by the toast.ooo instance
Everyone has access to a shared pixel art canvas and can place a new pixel every so often! Pixels placed onto the map color that pixel the color you choose which every person then sees. People often coordinate with things like templates to get art of different things onto the map.
An example of canvas
Last year we participated and managed to get a pretty big zone for programming.dev. This year however will have much more participants than last year so need more support and help constructing our area. I'll be attempting to establish a technology zone on the canvas so if theres any instances or communities that have to do something with technology and want to do something feel free to reach out and we can help each other.
Programming.Dev's area in last years canvas
If you're interested in joining the event theres three locations we will be talking. Theres event channels on the discord and matrix (that are bridged to each other). We also have an event community at https://programming.dev/c/events which most canvas posts will go in from now on. Hope to see you all there!
If you want to organize a section of the canvas for your community (e.g. c/godot) you can request a channel for your community on the discord and matrix which will help you organize better. Feel free to reach out to me (Ategon).
If you want to help out the instance itself make sure to join the locations and things will be announced for updates. If you want to help organize things (organizing the instance for the event) feel free to reach out so I can get people to lead the pixel placing for things like when I'm sleeping.
The current design for this year
Should start making some more blog posts on stacks as I come back to be active in the instance again. Took a large-ish break to focus on some game dev and now back to power through things.
