Programming.dev Meta

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if a community request should be made here or not.

https://old.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk is the only reason I visit reddit. I don't have an account over there but it's fun to see programmers making fun of other programmers but also not taking themselves too seriously

Please.

Edit: this exists now! If you're a programming.dev user you can nominate yourself as a mod.

Will be reindexing all of the tables I havent reindexed yet just in case some of them also got corrupted

Seems like some peoples profiles are also affected by the issue although its much rarer

Doing another round of maintenance to fix some issues related to posts

It might only be down for a bit within that window but im giving myself two hours in case some things take longer than I expect

Will be attempting to fix some issues. If theyre still there after this maintenance I'll be doing another round tomorrow or on the weekend around the same time slot since there's less activity then

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, just made an account moving from another server and noticed that programming.dev is on 1.9.5 but others are already at 1.9.8, is there any timeline for updating or reasons why it might not happen?

Hey all,

Just wondering if there is a list somewhere that I can't find that lists the comunities that Programming.dev have defederatd from (or the inverse)?

I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to !til@lemmy.world.

Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)

Programming.Dev is going to be going down starting at around 00:01 UTC Monday Dec 2 to attempt to fix the database corruption that happened relating to communities.

This has been affecting attempting to look at the pages for certain communities (it would end up loading forever instead of actually showing the posts for the community) and was affecting federation in some cases.

This is the second attempt to fix the issues with the first one needing to be rollbacked from due to the fix not working.

This fix could take several hours, so the outage window is going to be from 00:01 - 06:00 Dec 2.

The last post that was federated to LW is from three days ago, and I can't see the community at all via https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor

Slightly triggered by the post My blog now has Lemmy comments, I thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at another great representative of the Fediverse world: Lemmy. Of course, also with an eye on the possibility of developing another Mentions United Provider Plugin, along the lines of what “Coship” can do, I also can do and that for everyone ;) ...

Posting here also, because nmtake@lemm.ee commented that the API should work as expected on lemm.ee for instance and I don't know where is the right place to post my question. Can someone help?

I try to get comment data for my posts via API from my Lemmy instance, but whatever I try on using the GetComments endpoint it delivers an empty array.

For example ... GET https://programming.dev/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=20878811 leads to:

{
  "comments": []
}

I want to ask here, before creating an issue. Has someone a hint?

Looks like all of the alternate theme subdomains are down. I'm assuming this is due to the maintenance but wanted to point it out just in case.

I tried accessing https://programming.dev/c/programming_languages but it tells me that the community can not be found. Is that a lemmy bug?

When I click on it, all is I see is this 3 dots going 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3,... I can get into other Communities fine.

Ever since the database maintenance two Weiss so, I’ve seen far less content in my home feed. I decided to dig a bit today and found that I’m just not seeing content from certain subscribed communities such as !dailygames@lemmy.zip. Turns out the most recent content from there is 15 days old. That lines up perfectly with the db maintenance.

Sooo. Are there any known issues since then? Maybe something with federation?

My bytes.programming.dev's main feed is erroring again. It looks like everything else is loading fine, I just can't see anything on the timeline for some reason. Is it the same DB issue that was happening last time?

EDIT: I just checked and it seems like it's back

Since the last update, it's not possible to get the !data_structures@programming.dev community page to even load. Can anyone take a look at the problem?

I've been coming across a lot more 0-score posts in New in the past few days. Weird thing is, most of them have a (sometimes significantly) higher score when I look at them from my lemmy.world account:

Could this be a federation issue? Has anyone noticed the same thing recently?

I signed in this morning and checked my profile to find I'm not actually here. Did anyone else accidentally stop existing overnight?

We recently did an update to 0.19.5

Along with this came a bug that makes hidden communities not function properly so that they will still appear in the all feed

I have reported this on the lemmy repo and once the devs fix that bug our all feeds should go back to normal (but for now content such as politics and bot communities may appear for a bit)

Heres the bug report if anyones interested in that https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5074

We are going to be upgrading to 0.19.5 at 3:00 UTC on Thursday Oct 3 (10 minutes from now).

Downtime is expected to be about an hour. Hopefully it is not more.

We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.

Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.

The newly hidden communities are:

• !thiccmoe@ani.social
• !cybermoe@ani.social
• !fitmoe@lemmy.world
• !kemonomoe@ani.social
• !streetmoe@ani.social
• !midriffmoe@ani.social
• !fangmoe@ani.social
• !murdermoe@lemmy.world
• !officemoe@ani.social
• !gothmoe@ani.social
• !meganemoe@ani.social
• !morphmoe@ani.social
• !militarymoe@ani.social

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev's policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.

Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.

As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what's going on across the fediverse.
