# 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!

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
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)
