Limited means threads users can't make posts on programming.dev (but can make comments). On the microblog side they're the same
Yeah this is more for the new instance that will be started up that will have the potential to interact with it a lot more. Want to keep federation the same across all our instances
Yeah theres a reason why were running the poll rather than explicitly choosing one so thats its more of a community decision. Even before this was ran I knew what would likely be voted but this solidifies that
I have ways to check, I won't say what they are so people don't try to bypass it
Waste of a second and third choice since then I cant ranked choice it. The second choice doesnt count until the first choice is eliminated
Yeah ill be doing another vote after a bit (probably 6 months but dependant on how fast their activitypub features moves)
We can ban bots individually similar to how we do so now from accounts that try to be hosted on lemmy or kbin instances (in that case its mostly seo spammers and usually gets snapped relatively quickly and if they end up spamming the same link we have automods to remove certain links or images that contain links which ive being using currently on a guy making accounts trying to advertise his scam credit cards)
I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack
Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)
yeah can do a shadow or something. Will test things out

Hey everyone! been a bit since I ran my last AMA so am running a new one. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them. (my AMAs are more asynchonous but everyone should get answers)
I'm a student in university and typically do both web and game development. Youll likely have seen me in the instance doing things related to community management to make sure things are running smoothly
Pangora is the name of the programming.dev lemmy fork thats been getting built up slowly with pangora-ui being the new frontend being made (very early alpha is up at https://beta.pangora.social and community on programming.dev is at !pangora@programming.dev )
Other misc topics I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3, and recent games ive been playing are Mistward, Revita, and Puzzmo
Pushed an update to https://beta.pangora.social that has the changes ive made to the site since the last alpha
Updates include:
- Lists of active and new communities on the sidebar
- Community names can have custom gradients
- The post feeds works with javascript disabled
- The posts in the post feed now have less transparency and the background on the post previews have less transparency
- The post previews have been centered more
- The URL now changes to match the post when looking at a post preview
- A system theme has been added to the theme switcher and should be set by default
- The icons in the post feed scope & sort buttons now are not trapped inside the button
- The community view now allows you to sort posts
- You can now view posts from multiple communities
- code block text size has been made larger (might not work for comments)
Viewing posts from multiple communities
You can view posts from multiple communities at once by setting them all in the url. Separate each community by a plus.
for example https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming+opensource will show you posts from both programming and opensource
If you want to add in a community in another instance add it in in the format community@domain
e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming+opensource+technology@lemmy.world+opensource@lemmy.ml
Wildcard
You can put a wildcard (star symbol *) instead of the instance domain to search for that community name in all instances
- note that this will only pull from the biggest instances for now due to limitations from this being only in the frontend currently
e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming@* will get all communities named programming in different instances
Wildcard instance exceptions
You can make a wildcard ignore a certain instance by first adding a minus sign after the wildcard (-) to mark a new rule, then an exclamation mark (!) to mark a negation, and then the instance domain
e.g. https://beta.pangora.social/c/programming@*-!programming.dev-!lemmy.zip will get all communities named programming in different instances except for the ones in programming.dev and lemmy.zip
Composition
You can combine the above as much as you want to get complex queries. You may run into rate limits if you add an extremely large amount of communities though
WARNING
This is implemented only in the frontend currently so certain aspects will be broken
Hot and active sorts for multiple communities will not work
Added in some sections on the right side of the screen in the home page that shows the 5 most active communities, and the 5 most recently made communities
This is essentially the equivalent of the trending communities section in lemmy-ui but isnt using the severely broken hot community sort
Section in lemmy ui below
Also you might notice that some communities now have different gradient colors. I added in support for different community gradients and set some values for some of them. (Note this is all hardcoded into the frontend current until I touch the backend).
It also affects the colors of the community names in post feeds such as is done below
As well I made the site sidebar card and the new community list sidebar cards show information when javascript is disabled. Ill be going through and trying to make that happen for as many things as possible
The site theme now also follows prefers-color-scheme by default
Ill likely be changing how the home feed is handled a bit so that it can support javascript being disabled before I push things out to beta.pangora.social
I started implementing a feature that lets you see posts from multiple communities at the same time. Above ive got it pulling from 5 different communities.
Done by just listing all of the communities in the url with plus signs separating them. Its not pushed out to the pangora beta site right now but ill probably try to push out a build either this weekend or during the week
Currently just shows the first 50 from each, ill try to add some sort of addition to the backend in the future that will let me query for multiple communities so I can do the first 50 out of all of them so it doesnt have things out of order for the last post on a page and the first post on the next page
In the past there was some dicussion about setting up a community and putting some effort into starting to transcribe content but the effort died down a bit
I'm reviving the push to transcribe content now that we have some other image based communities popping up such as !software_gore@programming.dev
How this will work is if you see an image post with no transcriptions yet, feel free to transcribe it and describe what is in the image. If you are posting images you can also add transcriptions of the image in your post body.
The majority of transcriptions will follow this sort of format
Image Transcription: [Insert what category it is here (e.g. meme, discord, reddit, code)]
***
[*A description of anything that might be worth describing about the image aside from what the text says. e.g. an unusual font, background images, etc.]
[The text]
***
I am a human volunteer who transcribes posts to improve accessibility on programming.dev and you could be one too! [!transcribing@programming.dev](/c/transcribing@programming.dev)
the description and text might be repeated if theres multiple images in one and each different image description should be separated with a horizontal line using three dashes
For example for the image:
Image Transcription: Twitter

Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into another account and reply to it with an obscenely incorrect answer. Ppl don't care about helping other but they LOVE correcting others. Works 100% of the time

This is a spot where you can ask anything that you feel doesn't deserve its own post, no matter how small or simple it is!

As in set the invalid votes to be one of the other options? Theres only 4 invalid votes from limited being eliminated and 0 from silenced so wouldn't affect final results (difference between open and closed is 22)
