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!
An rss feed is available for inserting into your rss reader at http://stacks.programming.dev/index.xml

title: 'Introducing Me.Programming.Dev'
date: 2024-02-13T14:45:20-05:00
author: 'Ategon'
categories:
- Me
tags:
- Release
---
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 :)

title: 'Introducing the P.D Community Wiki'
date: 2024-02-15T01:09:36-05:00
author: 'Ategon'

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.
You can find the site [here](https://wiki.programming.dev)
## How does navigation work?
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.
![](/wiki.png)
Ive set up a couple example pages to start. The gamedev section of the site has 6 different pages that you can look through to set some ideas
## 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.
The pages all reside in the content/docs folder while the sidebars are in content/menus. You can see how I set up some of the current pages for how to format things.
Pages are written in markdown.
## Are other languages supported?
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.

title: "Introducing Forge aka Git.Programming.Dev"
date: 2024-02-26T02:47:09-05:00
author: "Ategon"
categories:
- Forge
tags:
- Release
---
Introducing a new supporting site for the instance, git.programming.dev aka Forge! This is a spot where development on things relating to the instance will be taking place. This includes for each thing having source code, task boards, and issue trackers viewable.
This gives us a spot away from GitHub so we don't have to rely on them for hosting our code. In addition, Forgejo, the software used, is working on federation so eventually features could be implemented to do things such as interact with Forge directly from our instances.
## Who is allowed to make an account?
Anyone is free to make an account on the site provided you have not broken our code of conduct and have gotten banned from one of the instances.
## What is allowed to be hosted?
Any code that relates to things we do on the fediverse or outside the fediverse but relating to programming.dev is allowed to be hosted on Forge. This includes things such as bots made for lemmy/sublinks, alternate frontends, software we host, tools, etc.
As an example alternate frontends like photon, alexandrite, etc. are free to choose to be hosted on Forge. Software such as Sublinks, etc. can be hosted, and various misc bots and tools such as Fediseer, Automod, etc. can be hosted.
Anything hosted on forge must be able to support the programming.dev instance it is built around. This means that things like bots and alternate frontends for the programming.dev instance must be able to support sublinks.
## How can I make an organization on Forge?
If you want an organization on Forge to group a collection of repos together feel free to reach out to one of the team leads or email info@programming.dev.
## How can I contribute to a programming.dev repo?
If you want to contribute code feel free to fork the relevant repo and then make a pull request back to it with the changes. If you have an idea for something that can be added to a platform or a bug report open up an issue on the relevant repo in the Programming.Dev org.
If you're interested in contributing a large amount to the programming.dev repos feel free to reach out to me (Ategon) on discord or matrix or email info@programming.dev and I can add you to the development team.

categories:

Introducing blocks.programming.dev! This is a site to add small code snippets you make for sharing easily in threads in programming.dev if you need to do something like put the same code in multiple spots.
The site is running using software called opengist and is essentially an equivalent to gists in github. Repo for it is here https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist.
Snippets are accessible both in the web interface and using git if you prefer adding in code from your text editor and then pushing it.

title: 'Piracy-Related Content on PD'
date: 2024-03-23T12:26:19Z

Hello P.D users.
I'm sure the recent news of lemmy.world's removal of piracy communities has not escaped the attention of many of you. For those who have not heard, [here is their announcement on the matter](https://programming.dev/post/11685728).
Now, being as transparent as possible, this is not a subject that the admin team of P.D have discussed in great detail up until this point. We have yet to create an explicit rule stating that piracy related content is forbidden on this instance, and doing so is not something any of us wish to do.
With that being said, this topic requires more deliberation and consideration. There is more complexity to this issue than taking a stance for, against, or tolerant of piracy. There are legal considerations. And the truth is that we are not 100% sure on what the legal implications are for allowing piracy related content to exist on this instance, either directly on our communities or indirectly via federation.
One thing that must be considered when looking into the legalities is jurisdiction. I believe being part of a larger federation complicates this more than a centralised service, but P.D must at a minimum be considerate of the laws of the country its server(s) is hosted in, and the laws of the country the person responsible for the instance resides in.
For those who don't know, this instance is administrated by a reasonably large team of volunteers, but is hosted and ultimately provided by only one: snowe. There is no legal entity behind P.D other than his person, and this means that any ramifications of this subject ultimately fall on his shoulders.
After an initial discussion between us, it is clear that some professional legal advice is required. Snowe is intending to seek formal legal advice. Up until that point, we cannot say what the official P.D stance will be on this topic long term.
What I can say, is that nobody in this administrative team desires to impose any restrictions on users of this instance that overreach and limit discussion unnecessarily. So long as content here is not dangerous, hurtful or offensive, we have no wish to filter it out on an instance level. Communities can impose their own rules, for the most part.
You can expect a further update on this topic in the future, once we have a better understanding ourselves, and we will keep this topic as transparent as we possibly can. Until then, in relation to this matter, we do not currently intend to defederate from any instances or ban any communities that discuss piracy. Linking to websites that provide pirated content will also not be explicitly banned, but linking to or directly hosting pirated content on P.D is prohibited. Should any of these rules change, we will communicate it as quickly as possible and far ahead of any drastic action that would need to take place as a result.
I believe the majority of our users here will understand the pressure that any Lemmy instance faces by hosting content that can make them susceptible to legal action. To those of you who are understanding, we thank you for that, and are grateful for your patience with us while we get a better understanding ourselves.
Feel free to discuss this matter here.
Thanks,
The P.D. Admin Team.

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
the date they were made in front of each ones file name and ive added some more
tags (such as an Alternate Frontend tag)
