It's abandoned.
The official ios app and android app is not available anymore.
Weeklies stopped a few years ago.
Image upload stopped working a few months ago.
Supporter subscription doesn't work, apparently.
There is no moderation and because of that, the platform is flooded with ad spam.
There is a bot system by @retoor that downvotes and removes the spam though, so this problem isn’t very visible. -
@Lensflare Damn that sucks man. I was too late it seems. However, I went through the feed and the community seems active enough?
-
@AalbatrossGuy
on top of all of those problems, the old timers went away. very few remain.
and we have some absolute cunts who don't leave. those are the ones we really want gone. -
Root778041dSadly, the above is pretty true.
I really hope someone can take this over from @dfox. It would be a shame to see devRant die.
There's still some of us around. Not as many as there should be, and all too much ad spam (like, why?).
Oh well. I'll be here 'til the end. -
Life right now, in the wise words of Patches O'Houlihan, is like watching a bunch of retards trying to fuck a doorknob.
-
@Root right? it's so weird that some fucking lavomatic from buttwhere, kentucky would pay somebody to advertise on a dev platform
Like it must be the worse place for local business to advertise.
We are not local to each other -
hug01631d@Lensflare i was restoring my phone and saw the app wasn’t available. i came here to see what was going on. sad! it was a nice place ðŸ˜
-
@Root Me too, I won't leave it anymore. I loved this community back in the day.
-
@antigermanist Exactly! It doesn't even make sense to advertise anything here. This place is not even made for that lmao. it sucks that people are advertising even here

BordedDev184220h@AalbatrossGuy As a guy who also used to look at dR with long gaps, it does definitely feel like dR is slowly falling apart at this point, and yes as the others have said not a lot of old timers around anymore. Which is a shame, I used to come read dR when life wasn't doing great (or I had exhausted meme sites, RIP memecenter) but that is kinda why I'm being a bit more active since I don't know if dR will be around after another long break.

wojtek322155114hIs there a discord or telegram or something where the other DR users are on?
Would be a shame if we lose everyone -
@BordedDev Agreed on the bored part dude. I used to come here for some quality rants, jokes and information. This platform was very curated and not as well known as reddit, exactly what I was searching for back then.
-
@wojtek322 If some well known user in this place would make a discord group, I'd happily join it

retoor84734h@AalbatrossGuy you're welcome on molodetz.online. Four people in this thread are on there too. It get's updates daily. Current working on a terminal mode that you can use together with everyone and you can instruct the bot to work on it. Every chat channel has it's own shared terminal were you could vim together. File sharing of any format is possible too. Also it's possible trough the sftp / webdav account you automatically get by registration. E-mail-address is not required. It's a crazy place with stars glowing in the color of the typing user. You can see everyone typing live, you don't have to send! People described it as intimate. It made me different typing for sure :P Slash commands like /online and stuff are supported. Bot's are in the channels with you and you can mention them, THere's claude, grok, openai4, dolphin, gemma3:27b. Also, there's a wordle bot that optionally uses AI by mistake :P I just found out on a certain moment, it doesn't use AI! :P
-
retoor84734hCool, a bot just cloned a repo in a container after instruction. But that it will do complete tasks and resolve issues like using sudo what is not available or using apps what are not instaled automatically is not far away. I already have that stuff done, but it's not implemented yet. AI development takes a lot of time with caveats.
Edit: fuck, can't post image. -
retoor84733hWe're trying out the new bot functionality atm: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...
It can generate scripts for you and store them / execute them and update them. The bot is named Snik (it means like crying in Dutch). It's to cry about. Some times we're throwing bricks at it because it misbehaved. Snik is gpt-4o-mini based.
Opened devRant after exactly 4 years. Brings back so many memories!!
