Since you mentioned not knowing if this is the right community. For any question where you dont know where it goes !no_stupid_questions@programming.dev usually catches everything. Theres also some other question coms at !cs_career_questions@programming.dev and !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev but theyre more specific. I can leave this one here though, its fine (especially since theres a bunch of info here now)

Admin here, there should be nothing censored atm apart from a couple scam links

Not sure why that says removed but its not on our end (and its like that everywhere). Lemmy probably has some handling where it also censors if the posters instance says so

As more people use https://lemmy-federate.com more niche communities will show up in most large instances by default

Imo its the ideal solution since it populates the posts in the all feed for people who don’t know about the site to still see

Rather than being limited to posts themselves it probably makes more sense to attach it to certain chunks of something. For example a block of code so that people copying the code to use in their own projects after receiving help actually have the license to do so rather than that just being verbal (could make it default to MIT No Attribution or some other license the community specifies). This same logic can be extended to images (although probably with no default for those since theres way too many possible cases)

Nothing would change about the community itself if it goes from lemmy to sublinks. Still accessible on the federation as normal and on version 0.1 the core features should have parity

Reposting my comment I did before:

Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

For world Ruud commented about that before and nothings been decided currently on theyre going to handle it (I assume youll see some sort of post in their meta community way before anything happens)

I’m working on the frontend for it rather than the backend so I’ll comment more about that

But a new project allows for way easier change of the base aspects. For example im currently working on a theme system thats allows for dynamic themes created at runtime as opposed to it needing to be built in. Also a components library. If this was added onto lemmy ui it would involve massacring the current structure of the UI to essentially make it a new project anyways

Originally was working on the stuff in a new UI on my own but I’ve merged that into what’s happening with sublinks since they’re making a new UI anyways as well and would let more of my UI changes to get connected up to the backend easily and shared across multiple frontends

In terms of technologies it also allows the federation code to be completely separated out from the api. Federation is currently its own project so it can be scaled separately and its made in go

Also allows for more organizational changes since we have more control over how the project is structured and the structure of how we talk to each other and decide on changes is different than how its done with lemmy (having a matrix space we talk to each other and there being weekly meetings as well)

Moderation tools is the first milestone after parity but theres also other milestones as well in terms of changes made that differentiates it from lemmy visible on our task board thats public on the github repo

Normal thats theres going to be multiple of the same type of software as people have different goals of what it should be and how it should be organized. Bevy and godot both exist in the open source gamedev space. Theres 7 misskey forks that all mostly aim to do different things but share the misskey api (and a lot of them also use the mastodon api). One of which (iceshrimp) is currently having a rewrite to change the tech stack and make it easier for them to add features

I dont know what youre concerned about relating to it but

Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

If anyone still sees messages from the spammer in the comments let me know, federated removals are wonky sometimes

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4386

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

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

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

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

Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances

The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users

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.)

Alright. Yeah I assume it would mostly be indie game soundtracks which tend to not exist outside of games

Will get that set up in our events community once I’m off work

Are vocals required and does it have to be from the past year? edit: read the info post and saw that yeah past year and yes to vocals due to language requirement

Would programming.dev be able to participate or is it mostly oriented around countries/country instances

E.g. entering with songs from games (which usually span multiple countries for the production of them and aren’t represented in these types of comps)

Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj

Theres a lot more users that dont even vote as well

For programming.dev currently we have~ 1.2k MAU. Including people who have an account but dont vote or comment we get closer to 2k. And then including people who dont have an account we get much higher (~ 80k per day but that includes crawlers and bots)
