Saw that a python community is still missing. Currently getting more and more into it, so would be nice.
Programming.dev Meta
Welcome to the Programming.Dev meta community!
This is a community for discussing things about programming.dev itself. Things like announcements, site help posts, site questions, etc. are all welcome here.

Can we have something like nostupidquestions but for computer science/software engineering topics? Would be very helpful for beginners and could probably be a pool where people can ask stupid questions without fear.
Request for a general (Unix) shell community! (shell
and Shell Scripting
) I made [email protected], so you can tell my intentions if you read the sidebar there. I'm having issues making posts there, though, and this instance makes more sense. I'm a current mod at /r/bash, and intend to reach out to the mods of sister subreddits if they want to join.
I originally was intending on all shell languages, but since we now have !powershell, I'd be fine with restricting it to Unix shells. I don't know pwsh or batch well anyway, I'd have to ask pwshguy to help!
Why not lang-specific communities like !bash?
- Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
- In practice, there was a far more overlap than not within the different subreddits; both users and content.
If you disagree with combining sister languages as a policy, that's fine! I'd request both bash
/The Bourne-Again Shell
and zsh
/The Z Shell
.
Suggestion for a programmer humor community similar to r/ProgrammerHumor (display name Programmer Humor
slug can be something like programmerhumor
or programmer_humor
)
Arguing about how one language is superior to another and the never ending tabs vs spaces discussion is a very important part of dev culture.
I didn't saw this comment at first so I deleted my comment :)
Would love a PowerShell or at least general scripting/automation community
Hey! Can we have one for Go as well?
there's a three character limit on community names for some reason. how about go_lang
? or golang
? and Go
for the community name?
Could we get a CSharp community? So /c/csharp, display name C# (or C Sharp)
Second this! Or even a dotnet
community to sort of umbrella some together
What about a community for programming teachers? I work as a computer teacher in what in Spain is called Professional Studies. We teach IT in general (hardware, databases, programming, networking...), and maybe it could be nice to have a community where teachers and general programmers can meet and help to layout the best ways to teach new programmers.
Editing to add:
Url: teach_programming
Display Name: Teach Programming
A general webdev one would be nice, I think we could match the Reddit naming convention of using just Webdev
and webdev
"inexperienced devs" or whatever cscareerquestions equivalent.
haha I don't know if anyone would ever post in that. Maybe we should have an Ask Experienced Devs
, which I think would attract that exact same crowd?
I'd love to see a functional programming community (url name: fp
, display name FunctionalProgramming
). I'm most interested in Haskell, but it might be best to start with a larger umbrella and split into smaller communities if/when there's a sufficiently large userbase to justify it.
Can we have a general cloud engineering community? Something encompassing the Azure/AWS/GCS and others for news, Instructables etc. /c/loud would be perfect :)
Request for a Godot community (godot
and Godot
for slug and display name). There's one over in lemmy.ml but that one is rather dead and figure it makes more sense to have it in here
Could we get a sysadmin community please?
And a privacy community?
Thanks
I'm a .NET developer myself, so a .NET community would be cool.
I'm thinking the url name will be dotnet
? and the Display name will be .NET
. Is that good for you?
Could we get programminghorror (Programming Horror) please? I've got some content to post 😆
CSCareerQuestions
with this exact URL, please. I searched for this name on the programming.dev instance and was led to this comment that suggests ask_experienced_devs
is a replacement for CSCQ, but /r/CSCQ had a different focus from /r/experienceddevs. Junior developers and interns were also allowed to contribute to CSCQ and the discussions were specifically focused on finding work in the CS industry, while ask_experienced_devs
implies that any kind of question directed at senior devs is allowed.
CSMajors
(discussion for CS undergrads) and an EngineeringResumes
(rate my resume) equivalent would also be great to see.
Some playtesting communities for game Dev Playmygame, destroymygame Would be great
Can we get a community for esoteric languages? Maybe “esolangs” for the url to copy the old subreddit, and Esoteric Languages for the display name?
I'm not a local programming.dev resident, but I'd be interested in a code golf community.
It could be really fun to host/participate in challenge threads, and posts about some fun golfs.
Could you please add an R community? I would suggest url "r", display name "R Programming"
Should we have a "General" or "Other" community as well? Possibly "random"
Can we have commandline
(both url and display name)? In order to share recommendations & news about software that runs on the terminal, without a UI.
I wonder if there would be some interest in looking into DDD (Domain Driven Design) here. I intend to study the topic and wouldn't mind some company. I can also serve as the mod, if that's a necessity.
URL style name: ddd
Display name: Domain Driven Design
Perhaps a Git community would also make sense. URL: git
, Display name: Git
. I can be the mod for now just to get it started. But I think I would rather hand it over to someone else when the community grows.
I think we should have linux
community, display Linux
Created over at https://programming.dev/c/linux! If you want to be a mod let me know and make a post in the community
Can we get a "Svelte" community, for all things Svelte and SvelteKit - url name (sveltejs) display name (SvelteJS).
I have some ideas:
postgresql
PostgreSQLastro
Astronuxt
Nuxtwasm
WebAssembly
Can we get one for engineering management?
Url: engineering_managers
Display name: Engineering Managers
dotnet
community would be nice. Display name .NET
. And I could moderate it as well.
Edit: We should have docker
Docker
too.
Howdy, another “new instance” admin just cruising by your instance to check it out, looks cool and a great focus! If you have Experienced Devs probably good to have Junior Devs too, or one focused on learning resources.
