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

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

Small warning, the change to change how lemmy as a whole calculates active users just got pushed so instances may mess up the stats as they upgrade to 0.19 when thats stable (and instances using it rn when they upgrade to a more recent release client) (Makes how programming.dev and lemmynsfw calculate community stats the default)

It doesn’t, still spams low upvote posts, just slightly tweaked ordering

Weve got a go community in the site that you might get some answers from rather than the general community here !golang@programming.dev

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)

Im not sure how lemm.ee handles it but a lot of instances that aren’t lemm.ee dont have uploads disabled

For example this post has an image uploaded to .world

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

Edit: The halfyear active users including voters is 253,166 (253k)

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

they start out easy and get harder as time goes on. Theyre intended for all levels due to that and theres two different difficulties per day (the harder one being unlocked when you do the easy one). Basically anyone can do day 1

Heres stats for how many people completed each day last year https://adventofcode.com/2022/stats

yep, you can do them anytime after theyre unlocked and you dont have to do all of them

yeah should hopefully calm down tomorrow now that the initial jump is done and since youre doing it relative to what the values used to be so the values themselves shouldnt matter

there might still be spikes from dead communities suddenly getting activity (since the increase from 0 is much larger those communities would go to the top of the list. Could artificially decrease large active user changes from the instance by taking the square root of the percent instead of the actual percent for percents above 100% (1) or something)

Taking into account votes is going to be how the active users is handled for any instances running pangora (lemmy fork)

Viewing the instance communities from another instance thats just using lemmy will show the old stats if needed though

with that there would need some way for people to have things to initially review to get the community started. Could do something like after the first 3 posts the point system goes into effect

Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144

If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know

Edit: community has been made at !code_review@programming.dev

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

• !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
• !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
• !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
• !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
• !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

• !chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
• !anime@ani.social - anime instance
• https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
• https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

Fediseer tends to be what most people use to track and list this sort of thing (and its whats used for this instance)

https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured?page=1

A lot of blocks people have are of mastodon instances as well so if youre only interested in thread content that probably needs to be taken into account as well since mastodon instances tend to have more people than lemmy instances
