Interesting!

I have been using chezmoi for dotfile management (including nixos config) but I will check out fossil.

No, jerboa isn’t filtering anything. They mean they don’t have access to some beehaw communities because beehaw isn’t federating with Lemmy.world.

I don’t know why they are saying this though considering they are in the programming.dev instance

Guardian article on the reddit drama: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/17/there-is-no-moral-high-ground-for-reddit-as-it-seeks-to-capitalise-on-user-data?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

r/piracy with a message to use lemmy:

There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.

There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.

ahhh thank you!

@[email protected] is the creator I believe.

not sure if that is the right way to @ some so here is their profile:https://feddit.de/u/derivator)

It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me.

Some counterpoints to this:

1. To my knowledge servers try to federate with a wide range of other servers. They will only ever block each other if the content is problematic.
2. You can create your own server that federates with every instance you want. Chances are, someone had the same problem as you and is dooing this already.
3. We could actually see more content than reddit eventually. Some community forums haven’t migrated to reddit because reddit would have final control/ownership of the community. This isn’t a problem with Lemmy. More communities like this one might migrate from isolated forums to Lemmy.

For anyone who doesn’t know; Helix is an editor with vim like keybindings with more out of the box functionality than vim.

I am using it too and like it.

The only problem I ran into is that the search and replace function (across.multiple files isn’t very good).

I don’t really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).

They have decided not to contest’ this territory, it’s very simple 😂
