  • But does actually work like an IDE? I for example love PyCharm understanding type annotation. Not only it highlights errors, but also improves autocompletion and makes big refactoring less scary.

    The integration with data grip (unfortunately that’s available in paid version) allows for similar behavior with SQL contained in strings. Which IMO fixes the impedance mismatch that created the need for query builders and ORM frameworks.








  • Federation is like instead of having single reddit you would have many different reddits under different domains, they have their own subreddits. You don’t need to create separate account on every reddit, you can theoretically access those subreddits from any of those reddit servers.

    Now, defederation is breaking that. If there’s reddit-A and reddit-B, you have account on reddit-A and they both de-federated, you won’t be able to access subreddits from reddit-B.

    I think one of lemmy servers that defederates the most is perhaps beehaw.org. Their goal is to create welcoming space accepting everyone. So they defederated from servers that they believe is ruining that experience, either because admins of those servers are not proactive, or outright support stances that beehaw.org does not tolerate.




  • The difference is different admins, different policy (for example one lemmy could let anyone in, another, like beehaw asks to write why they should let you in, and that you will obey their rules).

    There are also things like some settings, for example beehaw disables downvotes, they also don’t federate with lemmy servers that notoriously break their policies.

    So best bet would be to choose server which policy fits you the best.

    Also some people might want to choose the biggest and most open server. That could be good but because the server is open to everyone it might struggle fighting abuse and also go down because of high load. Such server is lemmy.world right now.
