Thats already handled by lemmy ui currently. The same link posts will collapse into the same one
Just isn’t supported by some frontends since its a frontend specific feature (mostly the apps)
Comments merging isn’t supported though but the post mirrors can be toggled between relatively easily
It doesn’t, still spams low upvote posts, just slightly tweaked ordering
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)
I dug through the code and turns out the post read table does store when its read (with number of comments when it was read stored in a person post aggregates table), it just only stores it for people from your instance so I cant get accurate numbers from all of lemmy (and why it seemed like there was a low amount)
The 118k is half year aka 6 months
The one around 35k is month
Dont have access to those stats in the database so adding on voting is the best I can do
Theres a post read table but its only people who have explicitly marked something as read and is way less than the post likes
For anybody interested, the monthly active users including voters is 131,150 (131k)
The one in the graph only takes into account people who have made a post or comment
I changed the algorithms in programming.dev to take into account voters in the activity. Since stats are all calculated locally you can view any community from programming.dev to get the monthly active users including that change
e.g. https://programming.dev/c/technology@lemmy.world shows 27.8k users/month on p.d which is almost as much as the value here for all of lemmy excluding voters
that exists in instances such as lemmit.online
the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked
Hey, admin of programming.dev here
Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people
edit, heres some more:
sometime in the next couple weeks probably based on their last development update
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
Would fix the issue you say there
users/day and users/week is from all instances. Only subscribers are from your own instance (so the other two comments are wrong)
The reason is cause that only counts users who have either posted or commented and not those who have upvoted only
Thanks for the feedback
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
yeah its for instances (fediseer doesnt support handling things at the community level so the tags here dont as well (definitely could have worded this message a bit better but community is such a generic term for it to be used to refer to the communities here))
mostly for topic based instances such as mander, p.d, .zip, fanaticus that focus on one thing such as science, programming, gaming, sports
Ive been working on a soft fork of lemmy called Pangora to prioritize development on different areas that the main lemmy codebase has been neglecting (such as mod tools). Gives a different option than the main lemmy codebase for supporting development and as redundancy for if anything goes wrong (although not production ready atm as its still getting mostly set up) !pangora@programming.dev
lemmy.world is in general. Just instances appear in more than one spot (and some general communities appear for a category if they have the largest community for that category and theres no topic specific instances for it). For example of multiple spots lemmy.db.zer0 is in A.I., anarchist, and a couple others since it has those topics in it
thanks, ill look through it for stuff to add to pangora once im done with ludum dare
The instance finder is built to encourage the use of topic specific instances rather than general use ones so that communities are grouped together better in the same site. The site can then manage all the communities effectively and have the site customized to accomodate them better (and make it feel more like a home for what you like looking at and discussion with others rather than one of many reddit clones)
Categories are mainly so that people are sent to a topic instance that matches their interests. Science goes to mander, programming to p.d, sports to fanaticus, gaming to lemmy.zip, etc.
If youve got some suggestions on how to improve it though let me know, still in progress
Thanks for merging in some of my changes <3
Code block support should be great for posts coming from programming.dev and the active user change should help communities feel a bit more alive and be more accurate to actual activity
