I’ve been wondering if we’re losing users. My “Everything” feed sorted by Active is full of posts with zero comments, and a great deal of them are just news article links that were probably automated.
Active is kind of a lackluster sorting method imo, Hot is awesome bc you get fresh posts (like Trending on that other site) aside from a couple 3M old posts that show up, Top 6h, 12h, Day are good too. New comments is cool if you want well engaged posts.
I recently joined lemmy, because fuck reddit. And that’s the first thing I saw. Lots of posted articles without comments. What do I do to combat that? Posting comments xD
As a tiling WM newbie regolith was a godsend to get my feet wet. When you’re used to DEs, the amount of stuff to learn to get to a usable set-up is overwhelming.
Nope, it isn’t bad, just a different kind of philosophy, IMHO. Some people would prefer to do everything themselves and tailor stuff to their needs, while others are OK with some stuff being preconfigured.
The great thing about Linux DEs is that it doesn’t matter if it’s conventionally bad, it matters that it works for you. You could use the cubic alt tab animation and control your computer through seances for all anyone cares. As long as you can do what you want just send it and use what’s best for you.
Lowkey miss reinstalling for the clean feel, but EndeavourOS feels clean. The only issue I had was a leftover hidden Diablo 4 files which didn’t get removed when everything else got removed, I think from Lutris(?). Never touching Lutris again.
My neovim config is a total mess :D. But yeah i3-msg+jq is great, I’ve written a number of solutions to this problem before using the API and external scripts, but it’s nice having things inline in the config file
I have a folder with config files that I source, one for plugin installs, one for custom commands and hot keys, one for themes (I have a script to manage light and dark modes by time of day), one for project specific file type augroups. I’ve got a bunch of scripts in my home/.bin folder that parse different project files into json on git commit, and then I use vim script and FZF to do custom completion helpers and jump tools with that data. Then there’s my snippets folder…
I can never leave vim. It has taken over the pathways in my brain.
Nice, sounds pretty cool. FZF is great, I need to try out some new things with it. Never got into snippets but I’m sure that speeds things up considerably, will think about it.
Yeah separate config files is probably the best approach if you have a lot of things configured. I haven’t done that yet, but might try soon. My config has generally been pretty simple, mostly bindings and plugin settings. But I started developing in the TTY and had to shoehorn-in a conditional theme and such to get it to work properly, leaving it pretty unorganized.

I don’t get it. I am on sh.itjust.works and yes I see the odd Linux post, but not so many that it stands out. I am even on many tech subscriptions. This seems overblown.
Your Mastodon feed will be entirely about who the people you follow are talking about, so follow different people, (or hashtags) and the conversation will change.
yeah, not sure if its a mastadon thing but im coming out of kbing and I don't see very much linux stuff and im subscribed to several magazines. Not that the linux stuff is not there but there are tons of other things to. If I was not subscribed I would likely not see it at all.
I browse All a lot and right now, without doing any scrolling and just looking at the top 6 posts on All that fit on my monitor, 2 of them are about Linux lol
