Disclaimer: I’m not sure if a community request should be made here or not.
https://old.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk is the only reason I visit reddit. I don’t have an account over there but it’s fun to see programmers making fun of other programmers but also not taking themselves too seriously
Please.
Edit: this exists now! If you’re a programming.dev user you can nominate yourself as a mod.
Ok I created it for you, you’ll need to edit the details for how you want it. Since you don’t have an account here I’ll have to stay behind as mod but I won’t interfere if you don’t want me to. !programmingcirclejerk@programming.dev
Thank you!!

This was blocked by lack of some features in Lemmy.
I lost track of what got implemented over time and what didn’t.
Some/All of these features would be needed:
- Option for a community posts to not appear in local/global feeds.
- Option for a community posts to not appear as cross-posts.
- Option for a community to not appear in instance sidebar recommendations.
- (possible overkill) option to not appear in community search (by name, without
!).
First two are the most relevant. I think the first at least got implemented client-side (not sure).
I don’t understand why any of these would be necessary.
Because besides the jerking style, PCJ is a “no backlinking” community.
reddit doesn’t have features to enable this either
It has some. Related Lemmy Issue. I actually remembered wrong. Should have wrote “NOT implemented client-side”.
I’m too busy to double-check, but it is possible that Lemmy is ready for this now.
Didn’t know or consider any of that. It might explain why c/circlejerk was DOA. The main thing I miss about reddit is r/circlejerk, but Lemmy has no appetite for the idea of “make fun of Lemmy” from my few mild posts there.
I don’t understand the subreddit. Isn’t !linuxmemes@programming.dev and !programmer_humor@programming.dev enough?
