Casual Conversation

3439 readers
395 users here now

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It's starting to feel just like any old social media/forum but with less users...

If you are new to programming, Python is good (it was my first programming language too). I avoided JS as my first programming language because it's confusing. Some things are very confusing there and you don't want to deal with those confusing things before you even understand what programming is and how programming languages work.

(You can try learning something like Rust or C/C++ first, but it might be too much for you)

I switched to Rust after a recommendation system I created in Python took too long (about a minute). The Rust version only took a few microseconds. I'm currently building a Lemmy moderation bot with a plugin system and also trying out Android development with Kotlin and Rust.

As for the communities, pretty much any tech related one.
