1·1 year agoNo, 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

2·1 year agoI have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.
I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;
- There are a lot of private forums and comment sections for News/review/blog websites. Theoretically they could have comments on articles federated and made available on Lemmy/Mastodon.
- The markdown format seems somehow better than reddit and we are starting to see really high quality posts like this one
- hopefully some more integration with mastodon happens so that lemmy users could comment on someone’s mastodon post or something similar.
I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry. But yeah the ! Does indicate a community usually
The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:
r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol
I am on both and kbin seems less active.
Perhaps the numbers are counted different?
lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.
Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.
There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.
There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.
19·1 year agohttps://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
- Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
- 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).

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