Please comment with what communities you would like to be added here.

For mod creation I need both the url style name (experienced_devs) and the Display name (Experienced Devs)

    Saw that a python community is still missing. Currently getting more and more into it, so would be nice.

    Request for a general (Unix) shell community! (shell and Shell Scripting) I made !shell@itjust.works, so you can tell my intentions if you read the sidebar there. I’m having issues making posts there, though, and this instance makes more sense. I’m a current mod at /r/bash, and intend to reach out to the mods of sister subreddits if they want to join.

    I originally was intending on all shell languages, but since we now have !powershell, I’d be fine with restricting it to Unix shells. I don’t know pwsh or batch well anyway, I’d have to ask pwshguy to help!

    Why not lang-specific communities like !bash?

    1. Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
    2. In practice, there was a far more overlap than not within the different subreddits; both users and content.

    If you disagree with combining sister languages as a policy, that’s fine! I’d request both bash/The Bourne-Again Shell and zsh/The Z Shell.

      there’s a three character limit on community names for some reason. how about go_lang? or golang? and Go for the community name?

    A general webdev one would be nice, I think we could match the Reddit naming convention of using just Webdev and webdev

    Can we have something like nostupidquestions but for computer science/software engineering topics? Would be very helpful for beginners and could probably be a pool where people can ask stupid questions without fear.

    Can we have a general cloud engineering community? Something encompassing the Azure/AWS/GCS and others for news, Instructables etc. /c/loud would be perfect :)

    What about a community for programming teachers? I work as a computer teacher in what in Spain is called Professional Studies. We teach IT in general (hardware, databases, programming, networking…), and maybe it could be nice to have a community where teachers and general programmers can meet and help to layout the best ways to teach new programmers.

    Editing to add:

    Url: teach_programming

    Display Name: Teach Programming

      would this be similar to the /r/learnprogramming community on reddit? Sounds like a good community though!

        Sure! Was thinking in a more teacher focused approach, but maybe it’s better to have a wider focus, learnprogramming sounds a great idea!

          sorry, I wasn’t trying to get you to change what you wanted the sub to be about. If you want it to be teaching based then I can do that!

            Uhmmm… If it’s ok to you, let’s try learnprogramming and teachprogramming, and we can see the engagement they both get.

      I would love to have this community. Teaching programming requires a special set of techniques and it would be cool to discuss with others. @Jaumel, what level are you teaching at - high school, college, university (if that’s different from college in Spain… sorry, idk much about the spanish system).

      I’m teaching at the university level - both graduate and undergraduate.

    I’d love to see a functional programming community (url name: fp , display name FunctionalProgramming). I’m most interested in Haskell, but it might be best to start with a larger umbrella and split into smaller communities if/when there’s a sufficiently large userbase to justify it.

    Suggestion for a programmer humor community similar to r/ProgrammerHumor (display name Programmer Humor slug can be something like programmerhumor or programmer_humor)

      Arguing about how one language is superior to another and the never ending tabs vs spaces discussion is a very important part of dev culture.

      I didn’t saw this comment at first so I deleted my comment :)

        Letting you know that I made a programmer humor community in the instance :) Since you also suggested it if you want to mod it let me know (and post there) and I can add you

      As a fellow neovim user, great idea! :) I’ve added it! If you post there I can make you mod if you want :)

      is that what you want it to be called? I updated the post, I need the ‘url style name’ (data_science or something) and the Display Name (Data Science)

        That sounds good. I have since found a couple of communities on other instances, but it seems like it would be appropriate to have one for programming.dev as well in the name of distributed infrastructure.
