Please comment with what communities you would like to be added here.

For mod creation I need both the url style name (experienced_devs) and the Display name (Experienced Devs)

Saw that a python community is still missing. Currently getting more and more into it, so would be nice.

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?

  1. Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
  2. 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)

[–] Feyter 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 :)

Hey! Can we have one for Go as well?

[–] snowe 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] snowe 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I'm a .NET developer myself, so a .NET community would be cool.

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.

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.

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.

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.
