# Show & Tell A community for developers to share personal projects of any size or polish. Anything software/firmware/hardware… ALL THE WARES!! Side projects, experiments, learning builds, half-finished ideas — all welcome. Explain what you built, why you built it, and what you learned. Give feedback if you can. Ask for feedback if you want. ### Rules 1. Personal projects only (no company or paid product marketing) 2. Include context: what it is, what tech you used, what you learned 3. Be constructive and respectful 4. No spam or referral farming 5. Feedback is encouraged, not mandatory 6. Mark NSFW content clearly 7. If you see a project you like and you think is cool consider giving it a star! ##### AI Rules Guys it’s 2026, if you’re not using AI at this point you’re falling behind. That being said this community is not for showing off AI prompts that you put into gh Copilot or Claude or whatever, all that’s showing the world is “hey I know how to make something up and explain it in 20 words while having the expectations of a team who gives a shit! Woow look at me!!”. So do your best to disclose where/how/why you used AI in your code, and if you suspect a project is entirely AI generated slop, don’t engage, don’t bully, just let them eat their foot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. > Icon and Banner were generated using ChatGPT, they’re placeholders as of 1/20/26, will replace them with real art soon! https://chatgpt.com/share/696fa8bc-f3e0-8012-b6d7-350a8b53a0e1 [https://chatgpt.com/share/696fa8bc-f3e0-8012-b6d7-350a8b53a0e1]

I recently opened a new show and tell community for devs to share their projects but I can’t see the posts when I access through community through programming.dev, but I can see when I access the community through lemmy.world. If I can’t see the posts, I can’t imagine that other people can see posts. I have not seen other communities with the same issue, I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can do.

Solution: if you set your account to hide read posts then the back end will not even serve the posts so it appears as though there are no posts. I’m such an idiot

      Yes this is my best way to see my community right now, but I cannot see it through my programming.dev account which is the problem

        Sorry, I misread. I can definitely see them on my p.d account.

        I think you must have blocked the community by accident, go to settings and confirm it isn’t in the blocked communities list?

    What sort options are you using? If you’re using top [time period] (which is what my defaults are), I see nothing, but when I switch to “new,” I see posts, the most recent of which is 5 days old…

      No cannot change sorting or anything else to make it work.

      Also if nothing is appearing with the default settings then that’s a problem bc newcomers should not be expected to futz with their frontend just to scroll through stuff. (Sry didn’t want to come off snarky just concerned)

      TIL: that’s a backend setting. I’m so embarrassed. Thank you

    How many posts are you seeing on each? Maybe you are filtering out some content through blocked content on one of the accounts? I count 9 posts on all three of lemmy.ca, lemmy.world, and programming.dev

    Unsure if it helps, but I don’t have an account on that instance, and when checking the original link, I can see posts normally:

      Oh, right: try disabling your extensions.

      Recently I noticed I couldn’t get any posts from Loops and Aguppe instances on mine, and troubleshooting, the culprit was a very inofensive-looking Ublock Origin filter.

      Also to those interested, the instance-agnostic link for the community: !show_and_tell@programming.dev
