The basic features of lemmy UI aren't that bad to add in and I had already done so with Pangora. Compared to gamedev this is extremely easy

Thats assuming nonstop work for two months though so probably would take longer since I do things like game jams

Yeah sure ill be making a post here

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Features wise could get parity relatively quickly (maybe a couple weeks of only doing features). Adding in design though so it looks good might take a month or a couple months

Think the plan was for us to host something once auth and the main features are in like the home feed which should maybe be both done this week or next week

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Theoretically could be used with lemmy at least on initial release (im using it with my lemmy instance right now for testing). Might be some issues when the feature set gets expanded out

For the UI I'm currently building its not up on a domain yet since theres still some things that are a bit broken

The old UI I was building though before I started merging everything into sublinks ( and that will have a bunch of similar features ) is up at https://beta.pangora.social

Theres also a demo of the backend at https://demo.sublinks.org but the frontend there is just lemmy-ui

nah think registration still works. Site just has issues sometimes
Sometimes when I go to look at it I catch it when its resetting everything

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Yeah the entire site resets every day or something

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Itll have api compatibility on release so that will work then with all lemmy frontends

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

Thanks! Yeah lot of design is an amalgation of things I liked from many different frontends

Photon, voyager, alexandrite, tesseract, iceshrimp, sharkey

Really liked how you structured site info so did something similar but added in some similar formatting from pangora so it has things like the banner at the top

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago (7 children)

This is the future default UI for sublinks that will be used instead of lemmy-ui as the default on sublinks instances

Not ready to be used yet so lemmy frontend is there to show api compatibility and that the backend is functioning

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago (9 children)

Backend is sublinks, frontend is lemmy

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago (11 children)

True ill edit that in in a sec

Demo instance doesnt federate atm

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It is self hostable or is there just the site at quiblr.com?

Seems like something I would love to throw onto q.programming.dev with the other alternate UIs were running

 

A community for posting memes and humor relating to linux

Yes this community already exists on lemmy.world but not all of our federated instances are federated with world (e.g. beehaw) so this provides an alternative community

Hey everyone! Ive been working on an event called safe crackers for instances to compete in

Im planning to hopefully run it around february so that its run 6 months apart from !canvas@toast.ooo

Essentially how it will work is each instance has a safe with a 20 digit password. Users of the instance have 100 points, and must set a 4 digit password and attempt to guess the passwords of users in other instances. If a password is guessed then they steal all of the points of the user they guessed.

To help guess passwords clues will be given which when solved will give one character of the users password. Clues will need to be solved using things like community names, post titles, etc. relating to the person

Each user only gets a certain amount of clues every so often so you would have to pool your clues with other members of your instance

If you guess a password you have a chance to get a clue for that instances 20 digit safe. If the 20 digit safe is broken into all of that instances points are stolen and that instance is eliminated


Details might differ a bit in the actual event since im still fleshing it out a bit but it should be similar

Currently thinking the top 20 instances in terms of MAU will be competing and the rest will be under a joint group for a total of 21 groups.

Ill be posting progress updates here on me constructing it and will be running a beta ahead of the actual event to test it out

Less than a month until advent of code begins https://adventofcode.com/

Ill be attempting to make this community active leading up to it and during it

 

Hey everyone, I just finished up a new bot for the instance called Link

This bot aims to give suggestions for other communities in the instance to post to to start populating the more specific topic communities. It currently is triggered just off of keywords it finds in post titles.

This should help people find other communities after they post to !programming@programming.dev and encourage cross-posting in the instance since thats recommended (and standard lemmy behaviour is to show crossposts as one post in the post feed)

I added some of the communities in the instance and will go through and add in the rest of them shortly

New instance taglines (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/meta@programming.dev
 

Hey everyone! I added some new taglines to the instance to more than double the amount of them we have. You should see the new ones popping up at the top of the home feed

New taglines were taken from the !quotes@programming.dev community and https://http.cat and were currently up to 96 of them

 

Hello everyone! I've pushed out a public alpha build to https://beta.pangora.social for people to start giving feedback on the design before it becomes more fleshed out

Feel free to check it out and say what you like or dont like in the comments here.

The UI there is currently pointing to the programming.dev instance


⚠ Warning: This is an alpha, things are still very unfinished. You cant use this as an alternative to lemmy-ui yet since things such as logging in aren't supported

⚠ Warning 2: If you attempt to use this on mobile currently it will be very broken


I constructed the UI by seeing what people liked from lemmy-ui, alexandrite, and photon and trying to match it up to how lemmy-ui is built so that it would be an easy switch between them

Main site mechanics that is different from lemmy-ui

  • Comments from cross-posts show up when looking at a post (will be changed in the future to only communities that community has whitelisted to do it for once I mess around in the backend more)
  • Comments and posts that have 0 or less score in terms of upvotes/downvotes will be collapsed by default
  • Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite's system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

Had some more free time to work on the pangora.social site so I pushed some support for the new fediseer tagging system so that it automatically populates instances in the instance selector.

Instances will populate in it if they:

  • Have more than 50 members
  • Are tagged with a tag for the site
  • Are not censured by programming.dev or some other instances
  • Can be found when the site checks for instances every day

A list of all tags that are used on the site can be seen at https://pangora.social/tags separated into categories.

I also pushed a little fix to the site so that if theres no instances in a category that category won't show up
