 Stacks is the official blog for Programming.Dev! This is a place where we will share news, announcements, upgrades, etc. relating to any instances we host such as programming.dev (and the new instance coming soon).
 
 There should be many new releases coming out and being announced here over the next month as things that have been getting made start finishing up!

 We have a brand new supporting site for the instances! Me.Programming.Dev is a place where you can see relevant links for things we host. Listed are software we are hosting, status pages, alternate frontends, and more.
 
 You can find the site [here](https://me.programming.dev)
 
 ## Custom pages
+
 The site is a self-hosted linkstack instance so as a little thank you towards donators, donators are able to get a custom page to put socials on. You can see an example of that over on my page at https://me.programming.dev/@Ategon. If you want a page and you've donated just reach out to me (Ategon).
 
 ## Adding links
+
 As new instances and sites get made new links will be popping up over on the site. I recommend checking it out for new things every once in awhile just in case you miss an announcement on something new were releasing
 
 ## Whats this instance I don't recognize?
+
 You may notice theres something we haven't announced yet on there. Left it in as a little early access for those reading our update posts before it releases later this week. Feel free to make an account and check it out before the floodgates open :)

 Introducing the Programming.Dev community wiki. This is a place where communities can set up wiki pages for their communities to allow people to easily get info relating to it.

 The home page has a list of communities with pages. If you click on a community it will bring you to their list of documents that you can look through.
 
 Some possible use cases for a community wiki are: a code of conduct page, a frequently asked questions page, information about the community, credits if you need to credit things such as your community icon, a page for related communities, etc.

 ## How do I edit a page?
+
 Editing is handled through git. Each page will have an edit this page button that will bring you to a page where you can fork the repository, make changes, and then make a pull request to get it accepted into the site.

 Yes! Currently theres only english set up as we don't really have communities in other languages but it would be easy to add more language options in the site config.

+
+Hey everyone! I wanted to do a post here talking about an event going on in the fediverse called Lemmyvision. This is a competition where various communities each choose a song and then those are voted on by users to rank which ones people enjoy the most.
+
+Its being ran as a fun way to see various kinds of music from around the world, sharing more between our online communities across Lemmy, and as a way to songs from lesser known artists. We are participating with game soundtracks as an opportunity to showcase new advancements in the game development space, especially for indie games that might otherwise not get much exposure.
+
+There was a national final to determine the song our instance would submit in the [programming.dev event community](https://programming.dev/c/events). After voting the song [Your Inception](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjeTwn9uA3Y) from the game Casette Beasts was chosen.
+
+## Submitted Songs and Voting
+
+Ive compiled all of the songs into playlists on three different platforms for watching
+
+- [Youtube Link](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJypTpbGxbErGJzqHlCdbb3rMFTcuFfOq)
+- [Spotify Link](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1KRY3wAdYX8wejIaYnO30p)
+- [Invidious Link](https://invidious.fdn.fr/playlist?list=PLJypTpbGxbErGJzqHlCdbb3rMFTcuFfOq)
+
+Feel free to listen to them and vote using the voting link https://tally.so/r/nWNgKQ. When selecting what instance you are representing theres an option to select programming.dev for people voting from the instance.
+
+Voting is done by ranking the songs from your favorite to your least favorite. Users from our instance can't rank the song we submitted to keep things fair.
+
+If you want to chat with other people about the competition theres a community for it [here](https://programming.dev/c/lemmyvision@jlai.lu)
+
+## Future Events
+
+This post will be going into the meta community for people who might not know the event community exists (and i'll likely be doing another post when the event [Canvas](https://programming.dev/c/canvas@toast.ooo) is happening).
+
+Any other future posts will be posted in the programming.dev event community. All major event posts will be made on our blog with the category set to the event name and the tag "Event".

+Hey everyone! Theres an event upcoming for the fediverse in 1 week (you can see the countdown from this site: https://canvas.fediverse.events/). This is an event similar to place and ran by the toast.ooo instance
+
+Everyone has access to a shared pixel art canvas and can place a new pixel every so often! Pixels placed onto the map color that pixel the color you choose which every person then sees. People often coordinate with things like templates to get art of different things onto the map.

+
+Last year we participated and managed to get a pretty big zone for programming.dev. This year however will have much more participants than last year so need more support and help constructing our area. I'll be attempting to establish a technology zone on the canvas so if theres any instances or communities that have to do something with technology and want to do something feel free to reach out and we can help each other.

+
+If you're interested in joining the event theres three locations we will be talking. Theres event channels on the [discord](https://discord.gg/SnUk3bKkNC) and [matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org) (that are bridged to each other). We also have an event community at https://programming.dev/c/events which most canvas posts will go in from now on. Hope to see you all there!
+
+If you want to organize a section of the canvas for your community (e.g. c/godot) you can request a channel for your community on the [discord](https://discord.gg/SnUk3bKkNC) and [matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org) which will help you organize better. Feel free to reach out to me (Ategon).
+
+If you want to help out the instance itself make sure to join the locations and things will be announced for updates. If you want to help organize things (organizing the instance for the event) feel free to reach out so I can get people to lead the pixel placing for things like when I'm sleeping.

+
+Should start making some more blog posts on stacks as I come back to be active in the instance again. Took a large-ish break to focus on some game dev and now back to power through things.

+into what categories they fit best in. Previously each subdomain has its own category.
+
+The main change for this would be that things like alternate frontends will be
+under the Programming.Dev category instead of their own (but they still have a
+tag for people who want to filter by only that subdomain)
+
+Ive also cleaned up the posts to organize them better in the source code by appending

+
+We now have a new alternate frontend for our instance, Tesseract!
+
+Tesseract is a fork of Photon with some differences displayed on the [project's GitHub page](https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract).
+
+The overall main features being:
+
+- Full Media Support in Feed and Posts
+- Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
+- Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration
+- Fediseer Integration
+- Distinguished and Sticky Comments
+- Keyword Filtering
+- Multiple Account Support
+- Improved Moderation Tools
+
+You can find the Tesseract frontend at https://t.programming.dev
+
+Along with this, Photon is currently only semi-supported as opposed to being one of our main Alternate Frontends. Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.

+
+This has been affecting attempting to look at the pages for certain communities (it would end up loading forever instead of actually showing the posts for the community) and was affecting federation in some cases.
+
+This is the second attempt to fix the issues with the first one needing to be rollbacked from due to the fix not working.
+
+This fix could take several hours, so the outage window is going to be from 00:01 - 06:00 Dec 2.
