Empty "just_a_test" community - Removal Suggestion in c/meta
[–] UlrikHD 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Does this instance have a concrete guideline or precedent for that or would be able to decide at the discretion of an admin?

Communities with no connection to programming culture are removed as a general rule. Other than that, it's decided on a case by case basis. It's not that uncommon for us to remove new communities that are created. We've removed the community + one another

It's perhaps poorly phrased, no it will only affect that specific user.

As a follow up to our previous announcement post, we have now set up a page to display every community that is hidden for our local users.

As explained on that page:

Programming.dev will hide political communities, NSFW/pornographic communities and communities that have a majority of their content produced by bots. While a community is hidden, it and its posts and comments will not show up in post feeds or in the search results unless you have explicitly subscribed to it. Communities themselves currently do not show up in community search results, this may change in the future; see #2943.

Users can subscribe to a hidden community to remove the hidden effect status of a community, however it can be difficult for a user to find out which communities are due to them not being searchable.

You could theoretically just loop through every community via "get_communities" and then com_obj["community_view"]["community"]["hidden"] :: boolean *I'm writing this on memory, the json structure may be slightly different

and then just subscribe to every community that pops up.

It will likely be slow though, and it's mostly NSFW + [email protected] that would pop up on c/all if you did. I also *think* lemmygrad as an instance is hidden, so those communities may pop up if they tend to reach c/all.

I'll discuss with the team about making a public list of hidden communities.

I could see one if the ids in the table, but querying the community id via the API doesn't work. Not sure

The discussion has gotten completely off-topic. I'll lock the the thread until the moderators (@[email protected] @[email protected]) starts responding to reports.

I've updated the title. Ideally people will read the content of announcements though.

Please follow our Code of Conduct when interacting with our instance. Hate speech violates section 3.5 and in this instance is severe enough to lead directly to a temporary ban instead of the usual warning. Repeated offences may lead to a permanent ban.

There are 282 communities marked as hidden in our database, I'll have a talk with the team about publishing a complete list.

The current spread looks something like this:

lemmit.online: 89
lemmynsfw.com: 64
zerobytes.monster: 36
lemmy.world: 12
ani.social: 12
lemy.nl: 9

fanaticus.social: 4
lemmyf.uk: 4
lemmy.smeargle.fans: 3

metacritics.zone: 1
lemmy.ca: 1
communick.news: 1
gearhead.town: 1

For the eagle eyed people out there, the map is 2 communities short. The basic script I wrote couldn't find them.

As per our policy of hiding political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam, [email protected] is now set to hidden as its content is mainly USA centric political news.

Those of you who want to continue to see posts from [email protected] are encouraged to subscribe to the community, which will make the it visible for your account.

The mods over [email protected] have already been notified of this move and understand our decision, please do not bother them by pinging them here.

[Announcement] New set of communities made hidden (self.meta)

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:

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.

[solved] Checking admin status of user via the API (self.lemmy_support)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by UlrikHD to c/[email protected]

Sorry if this is the wrong community, not sure where else to post the question, and I'd rather avoid creating an issue over on Github.

Is there a way to check if a federated user is an administrator via the API? .get_person_details() will have the admin field set to false for all other than local admins and .get_community() only reveals the list of moderators.

I know I could scrape the admin list from the main page html, but scraping html is prone to errors if an instance uses an alternative frontend or the frontend is updated. Getting the data via the API should be a more stable solution.

Based on #3703 it seems like a decent chance that this information isn't currently exposed to federated instances though?

[Closed] Looking for new moderators #302 (self.programmer_humor)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by UlrikHD to c/programmer_humor
9 comments fedilink
 

Describe the problem

3/4 moderators of the community are inactive, leading to a backlog of unresolved reports from the community.

Suggested solution

Find 1-2 active programming.dev users in the community volunteering to moderate c/programmer_humor in the comments of this post.

Expected time cost

A few minutes each week, the volume of the reports from the community is currently low.

Temporary solution

The community will be moderated by the admin community team until new moderators are found.

Overview of planned features? (self.boostforlemmy)
 

Are there any websites or posts where one can see planned features for the app? It would be nice to know what's missing from the initial release. I see plenty of feature requests, but none contains confirmation of whether that feature will be worked on or not.
