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.
Done! If you post in it I’ll make you a mod if you want! :)
I’d be happy to help mod c/python.
Request for a general (Unix) shell community! (
shellandShell 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?
- Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
- 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 Shellandzsh/The Z Shell.Done! https://programming.dev/c/shell
Post there and I’ll make you mod!
Thank you!
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.
Created at https://programming.dev/c/no_stupid_questions! If you make a post in the community I’ll make you a mod if you want
Suggestion for a programmer humor community similar to r/ProgrammerHumor (display name
Programmer Humorslug can be something likeprogrammerhumororprogrammer_humor)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 :)
Letting you know that I made a programmer humor community in the instance :) Since you also suggested it if you want to mod it let me know (and post there) and I can add you
Would love a PowerShell or at least general scripting/automation community
relevant username lol. What do you think would be better? General scripting or specific?
My preference would be specific to prevent one language dominating all the discussions
is
powershellfine by you?That would be great. Thanks!
I’d be happy to moderate it for you too.
Done! https://programming.dev/c/powershell
Apparently the software is weird, so you have to comment or post before I can make you mod.
Thanks! I created a welcome post. Appreciate your help.
modded! good luck!
there’s a three character limit on community names for some reason. how about
go_lang? orgolang? andGofor the community name?The one on reddit uses r/golang so let’s stick with that
Made the community over at https://programming.dev/c/golang If you want to be a mod for it make a post and ill mod you from it
(I set the display name to also be Golang since its also limited to minimum 3 characters for some reason, if it should be something else its easily changeable)
Could we get a CSharp community? So /c/csharp, display name C# (or C Sharp)
Second this! Or even a
dotnetcommunity to sort of umbrella some togetherThe community has been made over at https://programming.dev/c/csharp! If you want to be a mod let me know and make a post on the community (so Lemmy lets you be added)
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
I would love to have this community. Teaching programming requires a special set of techniques and it would be cool to discuss with others. @Jaumel, what level are you teaching at - high school, college, university (if that’s different from college in Spain… sorry, idk much about the spanish system).
I’m teaching at the university level - both graduate and undergraduate.
I’m not sure how it corresponds to other countries. We get students usually from 16 to 20, in what is called Professional Studies. It’s more focused on practical skills than theoretical. When they finish the upper level they can go to the university, and they don’t have to do several subjects of the first year, as they are very similar to what they did in the upper level. In these professional studies there is no maths, physics and so on, they only study practical subjects (hardware, networking, programming, operative systems…). Edit: some spelling mistakes
I’d say that’s similar to vocational courses in high schools and/or community colleges that are focused primarily on getting students to learn hands-on tech skills that lead directly to employment, but it’s nice that they have the option of continuing on to university, which is something that vocational programs in the US typically don’t focus on.
Yes, that would be it. Not all of the studetns go to university, and the studies are not focused to that end, but as you say, it’s a nice option they have, and (inventing here) maybe about 15-20% decide to, at least, try it.
would this be similar to the /r/learnprogramming community on reddit? Sounds like a good community though!
Sure! Was thinking in a more teacher focused approach, but maybe it’s better to have a wider focus, learnprogramming sounds a great idea!
sorry, I wasn’t trying to get you to change what you wanted the sub to be about. If you want it to be teaching based then I can do that!
Uhmmm… If it’s ok to you, let’s try learnprogramming and teachprogramming, and we can see the engagement they both get.
I agree, if only because there are certain techniques for teaching programming that I’d love to discuss with people, and that’s going to be a distraction to people who want to learn programming instead.
Would love one for
javascriptif possible.“inexperienced devs” or whatever cscareerquestions equivalent.
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 think this is a great idea to keep !experienced_devs for the experienced devs while still having a good place for less experienced devs to ask questions. I really liked the policy on /r/experienced_devs not allowing less experienced devs from posting.
I’m sorry for hijacking your comment (eh), but for anyone who’s a Canadian, I started an r/cscareerquestionsCAD equivalent over on lemmy.ca as I felt it was the most appropriate place to put a region specific community.
Warmest regards from Canada 🍻🇨🇦
Made some posts, thanks for creating it!
Done! Good luck!
I’d love to see a functional programming community (url name:
fp, display nameFunctionalProgramming). 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 :)
As with
/c/sharpmaking a cool URL is one thing but this would be referred to inline as!loudHaha ok, created, but not sure it actually works as well as it does on reddit lol. cuz you reference it with !loud now. anyway if you make a post in there I’ll make you mod!
Wonderful! thanks :)
A general webdev one would be nice, I think we could match the Reddit naming convention of using just
WebdevandwebdevI had this same thought. I wanted to post the Safari 17 article but I wasn’t sure if it belonged in /c/Programming really. A web dev community would make more sense maybe.
created. if you post in there I’ll make you and @[email protected] mods. https://programming.dev/c/webdev
Created! Post in there and I’ll make you and @[email protected] mods https://programming.dev/c/webdev
Thanks! Posted :)
I’m a .NET developer myself, so a .NET community would be cool.
it must be /c/sharp I would not have it any other way
The URL might be
/c/sharpbut it would be referred to inline as!sharp.yeah I’ve noticed that… it happened with
/c/loud. So what should we do? Go with it? I mean, it’s too good not to right? lol. Or should we stick with/c/csharpor/c/dotnet?Personally I would go with
/c/csharpto keep the community on-topic. Could also easily have/c/fsharpet al. That said I probably won’t subscribe to those./c/loudon the other hand I would definitely prefer to be/c/cloudto prevent the inevitable 🤨 when mentioning inline.
I’m thinking the url name will be
dotnet? and the Display name will be.NET. Is that good for you?dotnetworks for me! I also liked @nibblebit’s suggestion of/c/sharp
