Theres a new algorithm that should be coming in an update soon (I assume 0.19) called Scaled
This is basically the hot algorithm but takes into account the monthly active users of the community so communities with less monthly active users show up more and arent dominated by the meme communities
The one issue I ran into is alternate UIs other than lemmy-ui dont seem to collapse crossposts in the post feed so the recommendation of cross-posting everything floods people not using lemmy-ui
Going through and making issues in all of their repositories
Yeah light theme is something I've barely touched currently but will get the colors on that fixed in the future and will be adjusting the colors in dark theme
I'll note down to fix the theme user agent and font size
For the post you're saying to center are you talking about the post view that pops up from clicking a post in the post feed?
The dot there isn't anything, I was just using it to separate the buttons from the time
And yeah I can tweak the transparency there a bit so the feed doesn't have any attention
Looks like that post was made when federation was broken (there was a small window 14 days ago when it went down again) so itll still have issues with federating comments. Recent posts and comments in the community seem to still be fine
The one linked by snowe above and is the cause of this is on a feature request but its not a feature request made by snowe, its one made by dessalines.
All of snowes comments got collapsed due to getting marked as off topic which seems to be making people think hes dessalines when thats another lemmy dev
Snowe in the thread explaining it
The bug report is a different thing from this (although now snowe cant comment on that thread due to being banned and everything there and in some other spots such as a pull request I was making are also marked as off topic). Probably will get resolved by dessalines based on dessalines comment but weve got Pangora being built up as well
Currently theres mostly just community requesting to create communities and community adoption so people can adopt a community if the owners and mods are gone (which I think should just be the way to handle abandoned communities)
For the gamedev community the main gamedev community gets all the gamedev posts while the others are intended to get crossposted into for people who want the separation until we get flairs (but theres been basically no gamedev discussion content in either) (children are news, showcase, discussion, and game design)
I can try to get it more active
For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances
yeah its our end and thats why. Federation should be fixed now (things posted when down wont be federated still but new things will. Were setting up a cron job now to get this updated every day so it shouldnt be a problem any more)
After 3 days of no response lemmy considers things dead but the issue is is its not checking for a response
yeah it broke again for a bit, getting that up rn. Seems to be that the instance isnt automatically marking things alive so after 3 days everything is marked as dead again
Also adding onto this but there was an issue with the pictrs storage getting full that made the instance offline for a couple days while it affected it and so the instance could be moved to object storage. (communicated about over on the mastodon account since the site was down https://mastodon.social/@programming_dev/111237442491837823). Thats a separate issue from this one (and prevented this from getting tested properly for a bit)
Weve been struggling here with getting outbound federation working after the update to 0.18.5. Have an open issue on the lemmy repository about it. But basically currently any posts or comments made from programming.dev wont federate to other instances (but we still get all content)
Been running through some solutions today trying to get it up and probably going to pin a post about it
The grayed out button is new, normally it still lets you post but just wont show it in other instances.
sometime in the next couple weeks probably based on their last development update
