Pangora should be back up atm if you wanted a reference to what it looks like. It's something I just havent been maintaining and updating atm since ive been focusing on getting some other projects finished and lemmy has been good enough so far on this side

    Slight Christmas Outage in c/meta@programming.dev

    Also going to be adding some ssh keys to my steam deck and phone so if this happens again I can at least connect remotely that way next time. Usually do it with password auth on my personal servers so forgot to copy the key for this server

    dont have much time to sprite new logos this year to expand on last years since Ive been making features for canvas in the time instead

    COTW: Opensource (programming.dev)
     

    Hey everyone! Will be trying to get communities of the week started up again with community of the week on wednesday, and federated community of the week on friday

    This week we have the opensource community! This is a community where you can post anything relating to open source software. If you ever stumble upon a cool open source software, have an article to share relating to open source, have a question relating to open source, etc. feel free to post it there. Its currently one of the low-medium activity communities in the instance but has the potential to be a pretty active one

    COTW: science@mander.xyz (programming.dev)
     

    Hey everyone! The community of the week this week is the science community in the mander.xyz instance!

    Similar to how this instance is the instance for programming related topics, mander is the instance for science related topics. It has things like science memes, mychology, archaelogy, etc.

    Feel free to check them out if youre interested! Ill likely be showing off some other topic specific instances in the future as well to give them more attention for people to use

    RemindMe Bot Version 1.4! Back online after a couple months (github.com)
     

    Hey everyone! I recently finished up the remindme bot 1.4 update to make it comply with the lemmy.world bot guidelines

    The bot now functions using an allowlist so if you want it to work in your community make sure to open up a federation request issue on the repository

    This bot aims to give people an easy way to remind themselves about an event on the fediverse. For example if theres something releasing in a couple months people can set a reminder using @RemindMe@programming.dev 2 months and they will get a reply to that message 2 months from then reminding them about it so they can check it out. (reminders are handled by replies so that it functions in kbin communities, and so that users from platforms such as mastodon can also use it in the communities)

    Bot is fully open source so feel free to make pull requests with new features if you want or customize it to adapt it for your community if you want to self host.

    Hope you enjoy it :) More bots on the way as I go through and update them all

    (p.s. the bot works in all programming.dev communities so you can test it out here)

    COTW: RegEx (programming.dev)
     

    RegEx

    The community of the week is !regex@programming.dev! This is a community all about regular expressions where you can learn about and get help with them.

    A regular expression is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Theyre usually used for find, or find and replace operations on strings, or for input validation.

    If this community interests you feel free to subscribe to it from the community page !regex@programming.dev

    And feel free to put some content there on regular expressions to get the community going. Its currently at 1 active user per month so lets see if we can bump that up

    If anyone wants to be a mod for the community let me know!

    Voyager released to the App Store! (programming.dev)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2807814

    It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm excited to announce that Voyager is now on the Apple App Store!

    If you have time, download the app and consider leaving a review! This helps Voyager gain visibility and legitimacy.

    Get the App!

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762

    Can I continue to use the PWA?

    Of course! The PWA is self-hostable, hackable, and receives updates quicker. However, it doesn't have access to certain native APIs that the native app takes advantage of.

    Can I continue to use the Test Flight beta?

    Yes, but I recommend switching to the App Store release if you aren't actively involved in testing. It's a more stable release :)

    Get the App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762

    Enjoy! 💙

    Programming.dev bot guidelines (programming.dev)
     

    With lemmy.world having published their own set of bot guidelines I figured I should make some here as well to get some parity

    The rules are less strict than lemmy.worlds rules within the confines of programming.dev but for communities in instances outside programming.dev default to the lemmy.world rules unless told otherwise

    Bot Guidelines:

    1. Mark Bots as Bots Bot accounts should be marked that they are a bot using the checkbox in the user settings. This includes any automation in an account (if you automate part of your personal account, put what the automation is in your bio so people know)
    2. Put contact info The owner of the bot and some way to contact them must be in the bot's bio (unless its an automated personal account, in that case the account itself it the way to contact)
    3. Use mentions as prefix If a bot has commands it should use its mention as a prefix. (This will allow different bots to use the same commands without interfering with each other)
    4. Dont spam Bots should not spam posts or comments. (If a bot command has been used its fine to do a response but dont drown out non bot posts in the local new sort.) Certain cases are unavoidable such as if you want to get a bot posting weekly threads in different communities at the same time but in those cases please contact me first to get it approved
    5. Allow mods to opt in Bots participating in a community should be opt in so communities can choose what bots they want. If you want a bot to be allowed in a community please contact the moderators of that community first. EXCEPTION: If a bot is deemed to be a well behaving bot that brings net good to the instance it can override this rule as long as it has been approved by an admin. This can include things such as a tldr bot, remindme bot, link fixer bot, piped link converter bot, etc. If a bot has overriden rule 5 with this exception community moderators should still be able to opt out of the bot

    These rules should bring us up to parity with lemmy.world along with allowing a bit more leeway within the instance since there has been some nice bots getting made that I dont want unfairly punished

    If you have a bot you want whitelisted for the entire instance for the rule 5 exception feel free to dm me here or on matrix

    And if anyone has any suggestions for changes to these rules feel free to comment them. They can be adjusted as needed if any issues with them come up

    Score Bot: A lemmy bot that detects when posts reach an upvote total (github.com)
     

    Bot I made for the !community_request@programming.dev community to notify me when a post got a large amount of upvotes so I can make the requested community. Can be adapted for different cases if you want to ping someone, give a congratulations message, etc.

    If you have any feature requests feel free to throw them into the issues tab in the repo

    List of Active Lemmy Bots + Sources (programming.dev)
     

    Heres a list of lemmy bots that you can find! If you have any to add feel free to add a reply and mention them

    • ⌛ remindme (lemmy.icyserver.eu) - A reminder bot that triggers off of mentions.
    • 🔗 CommunityLinkFixerBot (lemmings.world) - A bot that responds with fixed links to communities when a regular community link is posted so people dont have to leave their instance

    The RemindMe Bot! A lemmy bot that reminds you after an amount of time (github.com)
     

    Im currently hosting this bot here on programming.dev and have it set to federate with everything programming.dev does so you dont need to self host

    To trigger the bot just tag @RemindMe@programming.dev at the start of your comment and then put the amount of time you want to be reminded in

    • Supports everything from seconds to years up to a maximum of 10 years
    • Supports other activitypub platforms as long as they can make a message in lemmy (ex. mastodon)

    If you have any improvements or suggestions feel free to make an issue/pull request in the repo

    Edit: Now works based on keywords so you can summon it with !remindme instead of a full ping See edit 4

    Edit 2: Kbin seems to break it if your comment doesnt have language set to english. Not something I can fix, kbin is going to have to See edit 3

    Edit 3: Ive fixed the kbin bug for all communities in the instance. No promises if it doesnt respond in a non programming.dev instance though as their language settings may be different and block replies to your comments

    Edit 4: The bot is temporarily offline so I can make it follow the lemmy.world bot guidelines

    The Guardian Bot: A lemmy bot that deletes messages containing blacklisted links (github.com)
     

    This is a bot I made for the programming books community here on programming.dev to prevent pirating but can be adapted to any community.

    It has functionality for both a whitelist and a blacklist and has templates so you can share ban lists between communities. It also detects in both posts and comments

    Since it deals with deleting messages it needs mod permissions in communities you want to use it for

    Feel free to dm me if you need some help with getting it set up
