And at least in the Unix context it's a positive term.

And I always anticipate an "unexpected" crash that almost never happens. Even in shows where it would never happen.

Then offer education or ignore the post. You know what's easier than OP googling the question? You not responding to OP if you don't have anything of value to add. You're here with a passive aggressive "let me Google that for you" bullshit attitude yet YOU'RE upset at OP for not being better at searching for their answers?

I agree people should put more effort into trying to figure it out on their own and learning how to ask good questions but the tone of your comments is more detrimental to the quality of these communities than a "stupid question" ever will be.

Now we have millions of useless posts being archived like this one.

The archives! Why won't anyone think of the archives!?

If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?

Not OP comment but I had no idea Wayland supported all of that. Thanks for sharing! I really need to leave my Linux bubble more often.

Finally. My low sensitivity for gaming is about to pay off.

This is all so strange. I really appreciate the breakdown.

It sounds like they got the tyrannical administration they lust over in the politics related comments I've seen there so far, though! So, good for them!

I regret looking haha but it was enlightening. Almost literally every single comment was someone angry about someone they've never met. It was like they were manifesting their ideal enemy in their comments to be angry at them.

Whew. Definitely avoiding that.

I'm not new to Lemmy but only just recently started being really active. Can you explain to this OOTL user (and perhaps others like me) that don't know what went down with hexbear?

Perfectly reasonable to ban someone from completely unrelated communities like mechanical keyboard and arch Linux? Come on. It's not like they're throwing out toxic terms or criticizing on a personal level. They're questioning the way things are being modded. Those aren't even attacks.

Sent this to my wife that's a speech and language pathologist who will without a doubt not laugh but rather answer the question haha.

Edit: called it lmao

My best guess is karma farming so they can sell them off. Probably create hundreds of accounts they can sell off. If some brand buys an account that looks reputable for $20-$100 to use it for astroturfing then that's a pretty good deal for both sides. Shitty deal for everyone else.

 

I notice when I open the app if I don't go to "all" communities then I just see the same posts for about 3-4 days (mostly). I go to the communities I subscribe to and see there are plenty of posts there that are much more recent with upvotes and activity that would have appeared at the top of my home feed in BoostForReddit.

I'm still getting the hang of Lemmy so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or just the nature of the beast right now because it's a different algorithm than what's on Reddit.

My issue, for example, I follow a lot of tech/software development related communities and if I go to "subscribed" all I see for the first probably 10 posts is linux@lemmy.ml despite following many many other communities in my local instance and even other instances. I definitely like seeing linux@lemmy.ml in my feed but would like to see more from other communities too but I am not sure if that's something I can really control.

Also, sort of an adjacent question, what exactly is "local" supposed to be in Boost? From my understanding it should be only posts from communities in your local instance, correct? For me, local shows posts from many instances from my local ie programming.dev (the only one I have an account with) as well as lemmy.world, lemmy.ml etc etc.

I would love some feedback here as I work to make Lemmy my new Reddit. After Reddit officially killed BoostForReddit and other 3rd party apps again the other day I decided I was tired of finding workarounds to keep it alive and wanted to officially ditch reddit (with the exception of using Google to search reddit due to the huge archive of information there).

Thanks for any help!
