I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It’s definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you’re frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.

Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.

Been waiting for this

great project getting better all the time!

Also Mac here. I started with a linux laptop but still have to do some desktop support work for the company and since they all use Mac it’s just easier to dogfood it. At least I have a decent terminal emulator.

Let’s go

That’s fantastic

You are incredible, thank you so much for sharing!

Such a neat piece of software, I remember streaming internet radio (somafm) and trying out different skins on my windows xp laptop back in the early 2000’s and just feeling like the cyberpunk future had arrived. Milkdrop was my gateway drug. Fun seeing it make a comeback, I hope it develops a healthy community and we get some good software out of it. Internet drama be damned.

Seriously, this was pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

This is an underrated comment here

Oh yeah, this is what I do.

I’ve been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It’s a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.

I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc…

Also drive Manjaro and I tell people I use Arch, there are dozens of us

I missed something here didn’t I? Anyone have a link?

Same, I stream using the airplay protocol from my Lyrion Music Server and haven’t had to touch their app since they arrived. If they fuck with that though so help me god I will write the nastiest things about them on the internets.

I got upset about this as a child. Years of adults of telling me that the moon was a night only thing and it was all lies.

I understand this reference and I approve o7
