I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

If you are new on Lemmy, check out: https://lemmyverse.net/communities for communities to join and https://www.lemmyapps.com/ for an awesome list of lemmy apps!

  • I say if you plan to stick around and have patience to cultivate your community: do it.

    If you don’t, then please don’t create them. You could join and post in existing communities that are close to those topics instead.

    You are of course free to do as you will, but the reason I say don’t go for it if you don’t have the patience is because dead and unmoderated communities cause more issues than they solve.

    Additionally: if you are new it’s possible some of the communities you are looking for already exist. Searching in https://lemmyverse.net/ might give you better results in case you are on a small instance.

    Edit: I feel like I should elaborate: a community that is left unmoderated might end up with horrible content and the instance admin will be clueless until someone bumps into said content and reports it.

    You could create your commmunities but lock them if you decide to ditch lemmy.






  • I’m obviously limited to my own bubble, but my friends / aquintances consist mostly of “tech aware” people and they have been getting cozy with Fedora and Linux Mint due to the BuyFromEU/BuyFromEurope movement.

    I know from a few schools that they use ChromeBooks since corona pandemic (they were handing them to kids so everyone could equally attend remotely) and they just kept using them since they had them when they returned to classrooms. I don’t know how widespread this is and don’t know if chromebooks count towards linux desktop stats?

    I hope my words can lift someone’s mood up! :)

    I’ve never bumped into the term before lemmy, but that’s probably because English is not my first language. In my native language it also sounds like that and I wouldn’t use it.


  • While I personally wouldn’t want this and agree with the comments about simplicity, old forum style, privacy talking points, I just don’t understand why people downvote this post.

    It’s a good question that creates good discussion (you know, purpose of lemmy) and doesn’t really lead to anything concrete necessarily. Just interesting discussion.

    People use downvote as a disagree button but it does have a real impact on the feed: this post will get buried by some post feed filters and some people will never see the good discussion going on in here.

    But to answer the question (even though there are already good answers): I personally think it’s also a stressful feature that will just make people feel like they need to answer to replies / will make lemmy look dead because only a handful of people use anything but “invisible” status.

    It’s gonna be ok, you got this. We are all still just the little humans we were when we were children, in an adult body, with just more experience and knowledge than back then.

    It’s ok to feel overwhelmed, stressed, like an impostor, etc. You and everyone else have gotten through struggles before. This too shall pass.

    All you can do is your best, you can’t do more and that’s ok.
