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
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!
