Indie game developer 🇨🇦
Working on some games for game jams in my free time
Admin of programming.dev and frontend developer for sublinks
Account has automation for some scheduled posts

There was some maintenance to try to fix things but things ended up not being resolved so had to be rolled back and there should be another maintenance period in the future again
should be back
Been getting worked on and people have been figuring out how best to fix the issue
there are references which is why its a pain to fix and isnt just dropping duplicates
I havent been the one looking at the database but im assuming itll be a similar way to how the person table was fixed. Theres essentially duplicate entries for certain communities atm
Its been getting looked at and we have some more people that are being added on to help out as well
Theres been issues with the communities table since the update and it hasnt been fixed yet since there hasnt been time to do so. Same issue that hit the person table but that one was fixed after the db maintenance we had
Community table currently has issues. Should be fixed once theres time to do more database maintenance again but for now the posts can be accessed in the main feeds
Community creation has been open for awhile, theres no community applications anymore
Issue should be fixed, messed around with the db a bit and seems to work now
Seems like the home tileline is has a slow api call currently while the other timelines are working for me
Looked at the repo and it was reported a year ago with no solution so ill see if I can figure it out
Should be fixed
Started using certbot-dns-cloudflare to generate the certificate
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.
Should be fixed for all of them now
I changed how I created the certificate so that it should automatically renew, old system seems to have errors when it tried
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
People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site
Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with
