Where to find the Code-Op
Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!
Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.
- I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
- I've already added a fork of @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net's Emoji repo as another example.
- The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my
aPC-Json
repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net to play around with adding ICS files to the repo. - We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
- I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.
I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.
Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:
Todos
- Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
- Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
- Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.
Done

Spent all morning writing a form for a website and came to hexbear to get away from code and then you dump this on me.
I'm interested. I have a github account but I'm hesitant to link it because it has my business site on there with identifiable info(real name and city). But I just checked and I currently have 560 commits this last year and 49 repos. I know a bit but I mostly fumble when I need to do merges and shit. Idk anything about gh orgs tho.
I do web dev mostly but have experience with React/React Native. I've been using Linux full time for about a decade and dual-booted for like 3 years before that. Mostly Ubuntu derivatives but I used Arch for school back in 2015 or so.
