Some days most of what goes through my feed is Linux stuff, c/FuckCars, and hardcore communism and it feels like I’m in the wrong place. Most of the time I enjoy myself though.
“I’ll stop driving my car just as soon as Putin releases the open source drivers for my tank.”
– Lemmy, probably
“I’ve taken to calling it ‘GNU/Communism’, or ‘GNU slash Communism’, because…”
– also Lemmy, probably
“Why are Linux mascots like a Russian commune? Because degenerate capitalists come to our land and freeze while we huddle together safe in our car-less utopia!”
How do you go about discovering new communities? I’ve been scrolling All but the amount of communities that shows up is very limited (at least considering I blocked all the foreign language and political ones)
I don’t know how I forgot about the sorting options, that stills limits me to the communities that have been connected to my instance right? I saw somewhere that each instance only syncs the communities the users from that instance have followed or something of the style
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
Been using sway for years now. Not even thinking about it, it doesn’t jump to my face and works the same and never changes. Just what I need so I can focus on my work.
I mean, do the people at the fediverse really talk mainly about Linux? I see in both Lemmy and Mastodon more people talking about US politics, LGBTQ+ stuff and furrys (lmao) than anything related to technology in general. I guess the kind of content someone sees would depend a lot on the instance someone creates their account in?
I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.
Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.
But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
Hopefully all the different clients will soon support good blocking. With connect for android I can block instances and keywords, but I most just continually block on a community basis what I don’t want to see from All. I’m sure there are hundreds in there. This keeps it quite relevant for me but I’m still in the flow of seeing new subs. I do subscribe to all the ones I really like.
So it’s a curation process, but a more active one vs trying to hunt subs down like I used to do with Reddit.
It’s ok because Linux content really is Windows content because in the end Linux users can’t talk about anything but Windows and how they hate it. Just like someone that got divorced and 20 years later still talks about their ex.
Well, looks like as many people loved my comment as people who hated it so I guess I’m not necessarily in the wrong place 🙂 But if you don’t like reading me feel free to block me!
I’ve got zero issues with it, I run 11 on four computers, if anything it’s more trouble every time I have to use my RPi, as if the amount of time you spend using a tool affects how comfortable you are with it.
Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.
I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs
He’s good in doing so, compared to the old guy with a neckbeared using his fingers to count to one. Oh, do you know his name? It’s Microsoft, named after his dick xD
Yet another new one I’ve not heard about. I’m in the Linux gang barely as I mostly run Mint these days. So I’m Windozes adjacent but in Linux it seems…
It's a barebones window manager (WM). Emphasis on a "tiling" window philosophy (windows by default do not overlap and open side-by-side) and keyboard-centric workflow which is great for programming. Most of the "Unix porn" posts you see are on a WM because they are highly customizable.
