!linux@programming.dev

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

I had a quick look, no post for 2 days, the two post of todays are reposts from someone who posted them to !linux@programming.dev too. The mod hasn't been active for a month.

And having a community off LW for a change is nice, this is like hitting two birds with one stone.

I was looking at weekly and monthly stats, as well as the amount of subscribers. Though I agree that the most recent data shows that !linux@programming.dev is probably more active. And this community fits programming.dev more. I'll subscribe to both and see where it goes :s

I dont get these alternatives. Lemmy needs a feature to mirror communities to other servers. Having 2 is annoying

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago

We still have !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml side by side.

I guess in this case the question is if you are okay with lemmy.ml moderation practices: https://slrpnk.net/post/10244872

Crazy read, yes Lemmy.ml is problematic.

But some kind of post mirroring is still needed to make this really work.

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

Hopefully people will agree with you and post to !linux@programming.dev rather than !linux@lemmy.ml

And people will probably keep an eye on both and repost from the old one to the new one

Sorry, links are a bit messy sometimes with Mbin

Should work fine. Not sure how your comment syntax looked like but the second link also worked properly, just not the first one.

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

I used the same for both, I even checked after your comment. Anyway, at least yours work

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Huh. Okay, that's odd.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

It's something that needs to be done on the activitypub protocol level. As users we can only work with what we got available to us.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Sure? Not on the lemmy side?

But yes, it is what it is. I copied a lot of my posts over

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

The Fediverse is more than just Lemmy. If you'd make a Lemmy exclusive solution, then only Lemmy would actually be able to use it.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Yes but Lemmy needs it XD but sure it would be better everywhere

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

And what makes you think that other software / sites do not?

Thanks BTW!

Should I make a new account for / on programming.dev then?

Lemmy.ml is fine.

You can migrate if you choose to, but it's really fine. People are over exaggerating the issue, it's mostly about Lemmy.ml communities and not users

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I feel for you. People said "just join any instance" and now people like you have everything set up on the CCP's Fediverse propaganda hub.
