Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!
…It did happen to be a post from me, so unfortunately didn’t answer my question at all, but I still thought it was really neat and wanted to share. Has anyone else seen Lemmy stuff getting indexed and turning up in their search results?
I honestly think Programming.dev is very well positioned to become a “programming reddit” of sorts. Nice polished sounding domain name, and a discussion platform visually similar to Discourse but with the grunt of the fediverse behind it.
The only thing holding it back is probably a setting for showing local communities by default, when logged out browsing. Whenever that feature arrives in Lemmy then 👌
Any recommended communities in programming.dev?
I follow !programming@programming.dev, !programmer_humor@programming.dev, and !webdev@programming.dev
The first two are relatively busy if you’re looking for content
If you need programming.dev, it’s recommended to set up an account there. The local communities page is very informative.
You could come to the community I (poorly) moderate, that this post is indirectly about 😝
!haxe@programming.dev
hm. when I test in a private browsing mode it shows Local by default. That doesn’t happen for you?
also:
is exactly what I was going for when I created the instance so I’m glad to see others think it could succeed!
