We need an international coding subreddit for obvious reasons. I don’t want to make it in my Lemmy instance because it’s an Italian-only one.
There’s a whole instance dedicated to programming!
https://programming.dev/They are called “communities” in lemmy. You can search for existing ones here: https://browse.feddit.de/
There’s already a programming sub
like /c/programming ?
i dont even know what that is. If its some kind of crossposting thing., no. We need an actual lemmy subreddit, not a crossposting thing
/c/ is like /r/ in reddit, stands for a community in lemmy. There are 2 i found one is !programming@lemmy.ml and !programming@beehaw.org
There is also https://programming.dev
this is how you do proper cross-instance links currently

Oh thats good to know, though the way i did is what pops up whenever you do the normal syntax on the website, guess ill have to manually do it from now on
Edit: tried it out and decided to revert back to the normal way, on the mobile app it just opens a broken link which would be more confusing imo
I’m assuming the OP said something about creating your own instance? Not sure–Anyways, the beauty of how Lemmy is laid out is that you can find an instance for programming, here’s one for you.
There are also these available instances, just click on them, hit subscribe and it should be available to you.
There is one. !programming@beehaw.org
this is how you do proper cross-instance links for now

Wouldn’t it be better to just write c/programming@beehaw.org straight up instead of obfuscating it behind the link?
We had a stackoverflow alternative called heapoverflow.ml, which was it’s own lemmy server with communities for different programming languages etc. But after a year or something and not much use it was shut down unfortunately :(
Ah damn that would have been sweet. Hopefully with whats happening something will get setup again
