Yeah I don’t think there’s a specific board game one so both can happen in here. They play into each other a bit so I feel it makes sense
If things go bad theres a killswitch so that the entire feature can be disabled but have my fingers crossed everything works the first time. Did some testing but havent been able to simulate 300 actual users moving around
Random extra implemetation info.
When viewing the canvas you send the left right top bottom of your screen and zoom to the server. The server then sends back all cursors that are valid to be shown based on what you sent. On future times you ask the server it only sends back what changed (so a cursor that doesnt move doesnt get sent again and your local version knows its just still in its same position). That helps cut down more on bandwidth being sent around.
The map is split into various chunks of different sizes. When you send the position and zoom to the server it tries to fit you nicely into chunks and then the cursors it sends back are the cursors within those chunks. Then if somebody else asks for the cursors and they fit into the same chunks it sends back the same data to them due to it being cached for those chunks instead of computing it again which helps reduce server load.
theres some interpolation so you dont just teleport to the new position but yeah its still a bit choppy. Not much I can do else to smooth that out unless I want a bunch more bandwidth used and I think its decent enough
For people on PC its on by default when logged in and can be turned off with a toggle in the settings. When logged out or on mobile its off
Only the cursor is sent and there isnt a name shown currently unless you then place down a pixel and someone inspects that pixel to see who placed it
Theres various things that are part of the change so that its optimized. You can only see cursors of people in similar zoom levels for example as one of those. Exact cursor positions arent shared but people just see the cursor snapped to the pixel on the canvas its hovering over so that objects sent are smaller
you get a new pixel every 30 seconds that you can use the paint onto the canvas. And then everyone paints onto the same large canvas
If you make a design outside of the event you can turn it into a template to guide what color you have to place where in the event and you can then share that with other people to help out
I do think having options like letting people disable dms, letting people choose to need to approve dms to get notifications about them and then having a whitelist makes sense. I can make tickets for those in the lemmy repo later if they don’t exist already

yeah pretty much exactly that. It’s custom built 100% by our team with no external tools or anything (just a way to notify us using apis). it’s technically a separate running code since we can’t hook it into the base lemmy code that easily but acts the same way
Fair enough. Could you edit your crossposts to the new version of the post that has some clarifications just so there’s no misscommunication about this anywhere (you could put the original under a lemmy spoiler block which turns it into a dropdown for people that want to see original wording, details on how to do that here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html. Or some other way you want)

Theres no LLM involved. This version of the post doesnt have the tldr to clarify some things so ill just repost my comment here
For context this is for programming.dev specifially and affects our users rather than something on any fediverse software (figured I would mention that since it was cross posted into the main fediverse com with no context)
Reposting my answer to a comment on the main p.d post just so theres no confusion on this
for a couple of those
The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
The way its being moderated isnt disclosed so that people cant just bypass it. The processing is local though like said in the original message (so for example were not sending this to some LLM/Ai to then use)
Everything is sent for human review so false positives can be reversed quickly and the worst action that happens is removal of content temporarily (before thats reversed)
This just means someone cant spin up a new account and spam things on the site or on federated sites and have that linger until its able to be moderated
If youre willing to send me the csv I’m interested in seeing the results with a more eurovision style scoring rather than just average rank


if you mention a lemmy community in your post the post gets sent to show up in the lemmy community. Comments are automatically federated if you comment on a lemmy post.
lemmy posts are all federated to mastodon though if the servers know about each other
im saying the posts and content are fine, just dont swamp every other type of content with it. Give breathing room for other communities and other people in this community to be able to have things surface. You can still post things hence why you havent gotten any moderation action here past getting your flood of posts removed.
some users can like attribution to reddit a lot of others dont. Not everyone has the same opinion or is the same person
yeah but ideally it wouldnt be. People come here to escape reddit they dont want to be reminded of it. Just warning that if you post with it youre going to get a lot more complaint comments
4 posts were still left up from your batch after I cleaned up some to clean the home instance feeds and them the mods trimmed it down more (from 19 within the same small window of time). Just make sure to spread posts out so theyre not all posted in a chunk (and dont use camelcase for titles or have connections to reddit). This post is more than a day after the other ones so would be fine


the one by Angine de Poitrine (Fabienk)



























































































































Theres a flag area in the d2jam design you could add it into (different flags are going into hearts). Im going to rearrange it a bit so the hearts might move position a bit in the template though
