I had @icon there and the cache didnt fully update yet
Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later
Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up
Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much
select them all, then ctrl+/
what frontend are you using, default lemmy one or one of the alt frontends .world has? Default frontend should handle it fine but havent checked the alts
versions that support (lower rectangle / higher number is more recent):
usage per version:
last major browser that didnt support which was safari updated to support it 4 years ago. update your browser
around half the instances I checked were affected, no idea why only them were affected. world is also currently behind in inbound federation due to the pure amount of activities its generating atm (only instance that is atm). We fixed the issues so it shouldnt be happening anymore (and I can see this post on world)
world, lemm.ee dont have them, beehaw does for example
no problem, been using it as an excuse to learn about godot as well
For people on other instances, you might not see posts 29 and 30 due to some issues (e.g. people on .world) but you can see them by going to https://programming.dev/c/godot

It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case
Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)
Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)
The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed
Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn’t currently apart from blocking the communities
An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.
I looked at the community list in programming.dev (from https://programming.dev/communities) sorted by active users per month and noted down the instances for the top 100 communities
its using google sheets
going to recount with lemm.ees community list in a sec since theyre federated with hexbear
Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)
This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site
A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week
(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)
edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts
Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before
You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here
.ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers
Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)
I can sketch out a better version of them in the future, ill add that onto my queue of things to do. No name yet but can also plan out that
Is it planned to be 2d, 3d, or pixel art?
If youre looking for another mascot to add theres a programming.dev penguin as well lol. Isnt used much currently but was with our art on fediverse canvas
If you also want another spot to post in we have an [email protected] community meant for team finding as well
Theres technically a code review community at [email protected] although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities
