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
Site: https://ategon.dev Socials: https://ategon.carrd.co/
Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already
Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon
I’ve been designing an updated home page recently for it that I’ll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly
Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend
demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility
Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1
Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them
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.)
Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)
Links for all four of them
sh.itjust.works removed it locally for their instance hence why you dont see it. Hasnt been removed in the source instance though yet so instances that didnt remove it locally still have it
Reports are typically fine. Theres a couple issues with 0.18 but the amount of people reporting would make up for that. Removed it locally from my instance since some reports came to me fine
I assume it will be snapped soon by lemm.ee or world but its around midnight in the US right now and early morning in europe
Theres a link to the community for it in the comment above. Basically will be primarily about making and guessing passwords (but also have some idle game stuff in there as well but no spoilers until I start testing which might be today edit: auths taking longer, testing this week)
I assume that’s referring to the clues? They’ll be randomly generated based on instance info I pull in
Its happening once a year so likely in the summer
Im working on another event that may happen next month though depending on if I finish the rest of the things to do in my queue of projects [email protected]
(so this and canvas will be 6 months apart from each other)
mostly different forms of edm for the 5 tracks there
the majority of things I listen to are indie game soundtracks
Top artist: Toby Fox as is usual every year for me lol (Undertale/Deltarune developer)
Top song: Nichibotsu by EX-LYD

Added them to the whitelist
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
People in the instance have more varying viewpoints since its oriented towards a niche/content category (+ same is true for other niche instances). People interacting in the instance can be managed but its difficult for people interacting outside to be moderated to make sure theyre actually following our rules since admins dont get reports of people in their instance being reported, only the instances of where they interact in do.
Politics communities (aka communities that only talk about politics rather than something like a hobby (and lgbtq+ isnt politics)) are now hidden by default on the instance though hence why you probably havent noticed the two are federated still since people dont stumble in and need to explicitly choose to see the content (leading to less people arguing on different politics communities since they just sub to the one they want and then sees that one as normal)
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.
