Almost lost an employee today, but salvaged it. had a 4 hr board meeting where I learned an old friend will be fired, and learned at 5 pm that I have to do a 1 hr presentation tomorrow for our biggest funder. Gahhh

What is the etymology of etymology?

What is factorio?

Those things were the analog Napster, the physical Limewire, so amazing.

That is like saying you have nothing to say, so don’t need free speech rights

How do I subscribe to these?

Couldn’t it just be under some kind of hierarchy so people who don’t want to see it could avoid it, and those who want to tap in to get their content fix but keep off reddit itself…

I worry about lemmy not giving people enough of what reddit provides and people driftng back. I know I haven’t yet managed to get lemmy to provide me the fix I was getting from reddit, yet. Part of that might be because I need to move my subscribed subreddits over, but for most people that is quite a barrier to stay here.

Don’t get me wrong, I want this to succeed, 1000%, and I agree with many arguments here about reposting can screw things up, but maybe we need to think about how we will maintain our momentum if people are still going to check reddit regularly because lemme isn’t yet providing their fix.

For me, because I’m not getting the content I want, I’m just not going there, but I know I’m missing things and want it to improve.

How do you get to saved posts?

Is there a chat, discord/irc/etc around lemmy to ask questions?

I’m looking for recommendations of communities to subscribe to. I have a few from reddit, but some of the bot ones take over my feed with 20 news posts at once and then one from another community… I’m feeling like I’m not getting much variety and volume. If I read the first page I quickly get to yesterday’s posts

Little rough around the edges, but preparing for smooth sailing

You can turn off features by default! Check your gitlab.rb and you will find even more stuff they have bundled in there that is off, like a matter most server 😀

Wait what? I’m running three different self hosted gitlab, and they aren’t resource hogs at all. One has thousands of active users. Maybe if you are trying to run on a rpi or something you are going to have issues… But come on, Bitcoin miner? That is hyperbole

Drive by contributions are just as frequent in gitlab as github. I’ve been involved in moving multiple large free software projects from github to gitlab and there was zero difference seen in discoverability, in fact contributions grew on gitlab, although there is no data to suggest it was because of gitlab, as it could have been because projects aged and grew

As a long time user of both, I vastly prefer gitlab. Not only can I contribute code to gitlab (I have), I can also run my own gitlab (I do) and there are a huge number of projects using gitlab. It’s not like that hard to find projects, or their gift repository because some are hosted on github and some on gitlab. Project just links to their repo, or you use a search engine… I feel your arguments apply to the fediverse as well?

Isn’t it because other instances were asked to do the same and revealed that fact?

Why did this keep showing up in my feed? I feel like it’s an ad
