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?

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

Good looking out! I'm not the creator though, just sharing is all.

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.

Is blackout.photon-reddit.com down?

Looks like Reddit is down, which is probably taking down the site.

It’s overwhelmed apparently

It's going to be satisfying watching them slowly tick green.

/r/wellthatsucks has gone and it's poetic.

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.

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

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

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

Good grief! I tried a number of different things, but never a long press! Nice find!

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