A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

Edit: Adding the stream https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

Double Edit: Data visualization https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

blackout.photon-reddit.com seems to be down for me. Any idea what's up with that, or other places that are visualizing traffic?

It's back up!

@alyaza@beehaw.org can we un-sticky this thread please, since it's no longer relevant?

[–] buried_alive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit itself seems to be completely down for me. I wonder if this is drawing a lot of attention and just overloading them, or tinfoil hat, they’re shutting off the servers to hide all the blackouts…

So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich

[–] Acetamide@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P

Also a good opportunity to back it up everyone with just not visiting their site. I've added 127.0.0.1 reddit.com old.reddit.com www.reddit.com mod.reddit.com i.reddit.com to my hosts file so I don't accidentally follow a link to Reddit (I think they have a lot more subdomains, so the hosts file based approach isn't perfect, but hopefully good enough for a quick solution).

The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI

It’s overwhelmed apparently

Was gonna share this here myself and then realized I still don’t now how to search Lemmy on either client I use. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Weird. Seems there is a search button on the mobile interface, but it's bugged out on my browser. Haven't found it on the Jerboa app yet.

[–] xilophor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there's a button second to the left on the bottom tgat will open a page that you can search on Jerboa

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I presume you mean the communities "list" button (there lines bulleted)? After clicking, it does have a search bar. However, that's for searching communities rather that posts. Just tried it to find a posts about "super communities" and nothing is listed.

This is the search feature via (beehaw) Lemmy: https://beehaw.org/search/q/super%20communities%20/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

P. S. The notification for replies also didn't bring me here on click with Jerboa. I had to open back up my browser and click the notification there. 🤪

It's all good. It's going to take Jerboa time to catch up, which I get.

[–] xilophor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like if you hold the empty section of the content of the notification, you can pull up some context buttons that allow you to open the comment or reply. A bit weird but I'm guessing that'll be changed sometime soon

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's stuff like this that makes me almost want to start contributioning code. It would be a pretty quick fix, imo, to default visible and allow long press for hiding. But alas, after developing software all day everyday, I don't tend to have the brain cells left to invest into side projects. Not to mention family and responsibilities and all that adulting, humaning stuff.

[–] xilophor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same; although it's more of an issue of not having enough experience, as coding is more of a hobby for me - admittedly not one I've touched on in a while
