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

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

Itll have api compatibility on release so that will work then with all lemmy frontends

It will have lemmy API compatibility on release so it will be

It hasnt been released yet, still working towards parity (but getting there soon)

The first instance using it will likely be sublinks.art and some other instances will be switching over from lemmy when it hits parity like programming.dev and literature.cafe

Its people from here which is people that fit both categories so would say it has some people that do non work programming

We have a discord and matrix community for programming.dev. Currently there isnt much there in terms of chatting about programming itself (mostly just things happening in the instance and lemmy) but there could be

Was bridged but the bridge broke so theyre temporarily disconnected https://discord.gg/3ZzW6dJxHR https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org

There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban

• Posts would be deleted and then reposted (especially if the original post had a negative score)
• Conflicting information in some of the articles

if it has actual content that relates to the community then its allowed

if its paywalled though or doesnt relate to programming then can be removed (programming in a general term since this was voted to be a collector community for all programming content in the instance)

mod here, its not a bot. Just a user who doesnt like to comment

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

Heres a couple other game dev ones from programming.dev since youve got some of them there

edit: [email protected]

Update: we now have [email protected], temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it

Closest thing is [email protected] currently, I’ve just reached out to one of the iOSProgramming mods about if they want to set up here

Its already deleted, may take a bit to federate to your instance

^ This user got an instance wide ban due to spamming the same autogenerated troll comments in various communities.

The autotldr bot is currently in beta testing so will only work in the auai community on programming.dev
