[Closed] [Meta] Looking for mods for c/advent_of_code
An unofficial home for the advent of code community on programming.dev! Advent of Code is an annual Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. ## AoC 2023 [https://adventofcode.com/2023] Solution ...
cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/7188393
This community still mostly has me running it and has 1 other mod but I typically like starting communities off with at least 2 mods. This community is a bit different in that theres the solution megathreads that need to be posted when a new day drops (and then unlocked when the global leaderboard fills up). When it has a dedicated mod team running it ill remove myself so its not admin run
If youre interested feel free to say so below
!advent_of_code@programming.dev
Note: to be a mod its preferred if your account is within the instance since lemmy doesnt handle cross-instance modding that well and this makes it so you have access to features added to pangora that other instances may not have
Could you give an idea of what is required/standard workflow? Dont want to put up my hand and then find out i cant do it.
For modding in general, baseline is checking and handling reports made by users. In addition to that though there can be looking over posts in the instance to make sure none break the rules (sometimes theres stuff like off topic posts made that arent reported)
This community specifically in addition to the above has the solution threads that would require to be posted when the new puzzle drops while AoC runs throughout december
Daily tasks:
- checking reports once a day or something similar and dealing with them
- while AoC is running at midnight ET post a solution megathread and lock it. When the two numbers for the day at https://adventofcode.com/2023/stats get above 100 unlock it (done to prevent cheating on the global leaderboard, only the first 100 scores count there). Usually takes at most 30 mins to reach 100, was much shorter in the early days of the month
I am well suited for the timezone stuff, thats just after midday for me.
Report handling likely wont be as responsive, due to timezone, but i'll do what i can.
Happy volunteer to help out with this.
