Kind of curious what tech people own, everything from small to big tech. Assuming solarpanels are a given for a lot of peeps here, or maybe will be in the future. But what other tech do you own that you’re happy with?

    Movim is awesome! PoVoq put a bunch of work into getting it set up and linked with Lemmy so if you have an account here, you can just start using the microblogging platform too! I use WordPress for my art and writing and Movim for my making-and-fixing-type projects, and I mostly prefer Movim - the interface is nice, it’s free, doesn’t spatter everything I write with gross ads, and it’s not corporate. I’d very much recommend it.

      That’s interesting, thanks for sharing that platform. I’m in the process of setting up a plot of herbs for folks at the local community garden and I’d like to have a simple website for people to go to get information on each of the herbs for harvest/storage/recipes/etc, and am hitting a wall on what platform to use for this.

        For longform blogs we host Movim (which is also a nice federated chat app for Jabber/XMPP) and in addition we have a Dokuwiki where community moderators can make a dedicated wiki. Both are integrated with our Lemmy instance here, so you can just use your existing account user and password to log in.

          This is one of those situations where I wish you were local so I could give you produce and pickles & jams in exchange to pick your brain on this :)

          On first glance: So I could hypothetically make a community here, eg. ‘the community herb plot,’ and direct people to posts on French Tarragon et. al. via links/QR codes in that community (instance? Is that the right term?)…? If people wanted to post a question they’d have to sign up, though, I imagine…?

          I don’t think I need to have a long form blog on this; there’s probably 74 different herb societies that would have a page for French Tarragon that I could possibly link to, but it’d be nice for folks to be able to ask questions, share additional information, etc in the post containing that link.

          Feel free to poke holes in this…or tell me to bugger off…or say “yes, but…” or whatever 🙂

            Yes, for example there is /c/balconygardening here on the SLRPNK Lemmy and all the moderators of that community with an SLRPNK account can also edit the community specific wiki over here: https://wiki.slrpnk.net/balconygardening:start

            These permisions are automatic and you can create as many wiki pages as you like under the specific wiki namespace.

            Edit: Let me see if there is a nice QR code externsion for Dokuwiki that I can add. Edit: Ah: if you click on the menu and select “Export as PDF” the resulting PDF also includes a QR code to the page already.

            Edit2: after reading your post again: yes you can of course also just link to external already existing website in a new Lemmy community that you create here.

              whoa, thanks a bunch, I think this might be the way forward…plus one can’t underestimate the cool factor of having slrpnk.net/c/whatever I figure out to call it as a web address that a bunch of oldies are scanning/clicking on :D (semi /s implied - I might be able to breadpill a few)

              Really appreciate your input ✊

              Edit: behold, the initial beginnings: https://slrpnk.net/c/plot18 (I’m not overly creative when it comes to naming stuff)
