  • Keywords in what I said being "everyone on reddit knows what reddit is". Had that there since a lot of comparisons of lemmy being similar to reddit happened on reddit itself but if people are talking on lemmy or elsewhere the comparison shouldnt come up unless the other user initiates that (especially if theres more people like you and we would then be sending traffic to reddit with the comparison)

  • The issue comes up when people youre talking to dont know what youre using as a comparison

    Article mentions that if they mention something then its fair to say how youre similar / differences but the person youre talking to has to initiate that. For people on reddit everyone on reddit knows what reddit is as they are using it so comparisons to it can be made on posts there

  • I usually just ask users on mastodon in dms whether theyre fine with me posting it here and then make a completely new post if they say yes. For the actual video I download it from mastodon then usually shrink it to around half width and height and optimize it a bit so its within the lemmy file size limit

    For actual crossposts from mastodon only the original author can do that and by tagging the lemmy community

  • The channel I used when starting out and that has some great tutorials is Heartbeast.

    Another channel with some great content is Godotneers

  • Edited the title to have a by in front to make that a bit more clear

  • Note its not my blog, just something I thought was interesting. Author is one of the people who has worked on factorio in the past

  • Theres a large writeup someone did on the swift discourse a couple years ago about it https://forums.swift.org/t/introduce-embedded-development-using-swift/56573

  • Not all work with someone happens from opening up issues or PRs

  • For old reddit style theres mlmym which fills that niche better (e.g. for you that would be at https://old.lemmy.world)

    Default UI is currently getting overhauled in a bunch of different ways. Lemmy-Leptos for Lemmy itself, and new UIs for Sublinks and Piefed as they get constructed

  • I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.

    If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot

    In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed

    Can give more specific things if I know the genre

    Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed

  • Yes, or it compiles to JavaScript. From the version 1 post

  • Tried looking. According to one of the users who posted it its by 0x00 whos the person who made floor 796. All things I can find relating to them are floor 796 related though and can't find where this was originally posted

    Heres floor 796 though if anyones interested https://floor796.com

  • Permanently Deleted

  • All lemmy apps are sublinks apps, it has api compatibility

    The demo site also isn't an instance for accounts, its a demo

  • Permanently Deleted

  • API pretty much already has parity, should be done way quicker than that

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Theres more than just the api repo and pull requests are squashed in some of them making it show as less

  • For self hosting there's also Forgejo which is a fork of Gitea

    Thats what Codeberg uses

  • Its in the embedded tweet

    Stands for progressive web app which is an app which uses web technologies. Can be both a web page and a mobile app on a phone. Can be added as an app to your phone through a browser rather than downloading it from an app store
