Would be difficult to use for frontends that use tailwind for their css since there's no selectors to hook into (could pair it with setting ids, etc. though that aren't used otherwise)

I was thinking about it though but would involve a bunch more work to sanitize it since you can inject javascript into css

It is supported as input. Basically all kinds of css colors are

that only shows downvotes made from kbin unless that changed

Note that the votes are currently only public to admins, there was an issue to extend that to mods that are modding the specific community the upvote is in but not sure the status on that

edit: seems to have been merged in a day after 0.19.3 released so it would probably be in the next version

I mean if you don't secure it sure. The same goes for any site though and can be mitigated by having decent security. There was the thing a bit ago with Apple trying to discontinue PWAs in the EU due to the ruling that PWAs on apple devices shouldnt need to only be able to rely on webkit (their browser engine) which is why the voyager creator said to move over to native but them discontinuing PWAs got walked back

For the second, you cant follow accounts on lemmy but you can follow lemmy accounts from mastodon. (it will show both posts and comments the person makes as boosts)

Same for posting, you cant post so it shows up on mastodon since lemmy doesnt have hashtags but you can post and comment from mastodon (post by mentioning the community in the post and comment by replying to a post made on lemmy). Note on posting from lemmy to mastodon though is if you have a mastodon account that follows the lemmy account and comments on posts with hashtags that comment and the parent post will appear in those hashtag feeds, just looks spammy

There will be another poll in around 6 months

The site will be a PWA. Not an app but something for people to use on mobile that could possibly be distributed on app stores

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

New identity, lemmy doesn't support SSO for other services

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Moving over to it once its done, there will be an upgrade path when it is so shouldnt affect it too much

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Also for anyone looking to use it on mobile or on alternate frontends, It has mastodon API compatibility

Most mastodon apps should theoretically work but these ones are tested:

Day 5: If You Give a Seed a Fertilizer


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Welcome everyone to the 2023 advent of code! Thank you all for stopping by and participating in it in programming.dev whether youre new to the event or doing it again.

This is an unofficial community for the event as no official spot exists on lemmy but ill be running it as best I can with Sigmatics modding as well. Ill be running a solution megathread every day where you can share solutions with other participants to compare your answers and to see the things other people come up with


Day 1: Trebuchet?!

Hey everyone! Thought I would do a post ahead of the event to cover the major topics that will probably come up


What is Advent of Code?

Advent of Code is an annual Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.

Each day will have two different puzzles that must be solved in order (you get access to the second after solving the first). Each puzzle has the same backstory but each person has different input they get for that puzzle.

Puzzles are released every day at midnight ET and can be completed anytime after they are released (but people who solve them quicker after theyre been released get more points for the site leaderboard)

(Puzzles are on https://adventofcode.com)


What can I post here?

Anything relating to the event! Whether that be a meme, asking for help, sharing solutions, etc.

How should I format my post titles?

Try to keep titles in this general format:

[help, etc. category if applicable] [YEAR Day # (Part X)] [programming language if applicable] Post Title

For example:

[2023 Day #5 (Part 3)] [Rust] My attempt at a solution

Another example:

[Help] [2023 Day #2] What does this sentence mean

This helps people avoid spoilers and lets people use it as an archive by searching if they find out about the event in the middle and are starting from the beginning then

Should I post in the solution thread or separately?

If its just a solution try to keep it in the solution megathread so the community doesn't get spammed with solutions! If you add something onto that such as a doing a visualization, making it a meme, or etc. though feel free to post it separately

What can I post in the solution megathread?

The top level comments in the solution megathread should be solutions to that day. If you want to write something that is not a solution feel free to make a new post about it.

Any replies to top level comments though can be whatever


Lemmy-UI doesn't handle code blocks well, what do I do?

I pushed an update to lemmy-ui that adds code block support that will be arriving to all instances in version 0.19. This is currently in release clients and I expect it to release in the middle of the event.

For now though feel free to mirror any code you post onto some other site such as pastebin. if you can try to do both code blocks and pastebin to future proof it for when 0.19 eventually drops

To make a code block make three backticks, make a new line and put the code on lines, then put a newline and do three backticks on that

e.g.

```
console.log('Hello World')
```

becomes

console.log('Hello World')  

If your instance decided to beta test 0.19 you might be able to see code blocks already on the site, I put a code block above and in the sidebar so if one of those renders for you you have code block support

If youre using an app instead of the site though this section does not apply to you and depends on whether the developer of your app has added code block support or not

Hey everyone! I set up a private leaderboard for the programming.dev community so we can have one for the community in addition to the global one

The leaderboard code is 3316962-6587d422

Looking forward to seeing you guys there! Ill make a post at the end with the top people on the leaderboard and the version on the site will auto update as people complete challenges


Full instructions on Joining the Leaderboard

  • Log in on https://adventofcode.com/ using one of the methods such as through GitHub
  • Go to the leaderboard section in the navbar
  • Click the private leaderboard button on the page
  • Enter 3316962-6587d422 into the text box for entering a leaderboard join code
  • Click join

Update: Ive made a new leaderboard so that I could rename it to something that isnt just my username, the code there is updated to the new one that should be joined

 

This week we have advent of code as our community of the week! Advent of code is an annual event that happens every december with a programming challenge released every day. The website where its run is https://adventofcode.com/ . Feel free to discuss things about the event, ask questions about it, post your solutions, post memes relating to it, etc. in the community

For anyone interested, advent of code is about to start! (first puzzles dropping at midnight ET which is in around 11 hours)

We have a community in the instance at !advent_of_code@programming.dev for discussion about the event and that will have solution threads where you can post and compare against other people


Advent of code is a programming puzzle advent calendar where new puzzles drop every day until the 25th. They can be done in any language and puzzles are released on the AoC site

https://adventofcode.com/

 

First puzzles dropping at midnight ET, ill be making a solutions thread a bit after it drops after the leaderboard fills up a bit

 

Added a couple more buttons so you can see active communities from all connected instances as well

In addition youll see that the active users today is much larger values due to the site & community stats update I did in the instance where it now takes into account post and comment likes in addition to post and comment creations

(Note this and other updates wont be pushed out to the beta site likely until after 0.19 releases and the instance updates to it since ive been messing with the new authentication system)

Starting up a new monthly post where I look at the communities in the instance to see how well all of them are doing

From this we should be able to see what communities are struggling so that they can be focused on for adding activity across the instance

My goal for december will be increasing the amount of communities that appear in the active and moderate sections and will compare to see the activity change then


For community activity levels im breaking this into 5 categories (note these stats are based on the new users/month stats in the instance)

  • Lively- 5k users/month or above
  • Active - 201-4999 users/month
  • Moderate - 51-200 users/month
  • Quiet - 11-50 users/month
  • Dead - 0-10

Communities in each category

  • Lively communities: 2 (1%)
  • Active communities: 11 (6%)
  • Moderate communities: 27 (15%)
  • Quiet communities: 45 (25%)
  • Dead communities: 92 (52%)

Most active communities


Least active communities

(These are ones that will be prioritized for making active) (theres a lot in the dead category so these are random ones from that, not all of them)


One other community that should be interesting to see the growth is the advent of code community as that is about to start

!advent_of_code@programming.dev

currently at 136 but I assume thats going to grow much larger
