Just to let you know. Most of the blocked instances you see for programming.dev (since your account is here) aren’t forums you would normally interact with but are various ones on the microblog side that cause issues (for hate speech, spam bots that have seo spam posted in various threads, cp, etc.). For forums running lemmy and piefed the amount is very low.

Fair enough. Could you edit your crossposts to the new version of the post that has some clarifications just so there’s no misscommunication about this anywhere (you could put the original under a lemmy spoiler block which turns it into a dropdown for people that want to see original wording, details on how to do that here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html. Or some other way you want)

For context this is for programming.dev specifially and affects our users rather than something on any fediverse software (figured I would mention that since it was cross posted into the main fediverse com with no context)

Reposting my answer to a comment on the main p.d post just so theres no confusion on this

• Processing is local. Were not sending data to an LLM but the method is hidden so bad actors cant bypass it
• The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
• Worst thing it can automatically do is temporarily remove a post/comment until an admin can approve or deny it just so its not there for people to run into (for example if someone spams slurs at someone else the someone else doesnt see that instead of it being there until an admin is able to come online)

that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1

When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such

It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once

edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)

Theres technically a code review community at !code_review@programming.dev although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities

we also host an instance of opengist at https://blocks.programming.dev as an alternative to those if wanted

Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much

The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed

Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn’t currently apart from blocking the communities

An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.

I looked at the community list in programming.dev (from https://programming.dev/communities) sorted by active users per month and noted down the instances for the top 100 communities

its using google sheets

going to recount with lemm.ees community list in a sec since theyre federated with hexbear

Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

.ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers

Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted

Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend

demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility

Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)

Links for all four of them

• Photon (p.) - world | programming.dev
• Alexandrite (a.) - world | programming.dev
• Voyager (m. and v.) world | programming.dev
• Mlmym (old.) world | programming.dev

Zoomed out graph including some months before the join wave

Users/month are relatively stable now at 33x users/month compared to pre join wave (users/month is people who have posted or commented)
