Learning Rust and Lemmy

231 readers

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.


Running Projects


Policies and Purposes

  1. This is a place to learn and work together.
  2. Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
  3. This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
  4. This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules

  1. Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
  2. Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
  3. Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
  4. See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
  5. Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

Streamed Code Together

A streamed reading club focused on rust's The Book and becoming reasonably good rust developers through community collaboration. The end goal is to read the lemmy codebase and contribute to the platform we all love. This stream will serve as a club meeting where we read some of the content together, discuss previous topics, and write some code.

Anybody's welcome, whether you want to continue once we get to the code base or not. If you're completely new to rust this is a great place to start and if you already know the language we'd love to have you all the more. At the very least it's a good networking opportunity but you'll likely learn more than you thought.

Post Stream

After the stream, a discussion post will be made to This Community stating what we've gone over and what we're planing to read/code/do before the next stream. This will act as a place to talk about what you've learned, what issues you're having, how your post-stream learning is going, and to help your fellow lemmings. I strongly encourage posting a comment even if everything you've stated has already been said.

Timing

We will meet weekly at 6:30pm EST (New York Time) on Tuesday with a maximum length of two hours.

Hosting

For now, the host will be myself however if you're interested in hosting or co-hosting yourself please feel free to message me about this especially if you can stream at a time where people in a European or Asian timezone can join in.

Missed the stream?

A video will be available on youtube so you can watch at a later point and a discussion post will be posted here weekly which states what we've gone over and what we're going to do before the next stream.

Links

The weekly stream will be hosted on twitch with that site being our main chatroom. Vods will be available on Youtube after the stream along with a mildly edited version for those who couldn't join in but still want to keep up
