If you start drafting the intro / explainer in VSCode so you can easily reference things in the code you already failed.
Hiding out from corporate centralized social media - here to talk about the things I like, including but not limited to:
Cigars [owner @Tobacconist] // Videogames // Camping & Backpacking // Cycling // Tech // Cameras // Movies // Working in the film industry [camera department] // Plants // Birds // Comedy // Music // Television // Art

Yeah, to get regular folks (like, even the nerdy ones for the most part) you have to just drop the jargon entirely. It’s social media / community building, don’t talk about it like a grad school coding project.
Honestly I’m basing that opinion on two subs… cigars, where I wasn’t at all surprised because most cigar guys are conservative leaning and likely to see this as a bunch of bullshit, and ethfinance, which honestly you would think would have more consensus based on the whole decentralization thing. Surprised to see some subs very supporting, like /r/MMA is here in force.
Bumping this because it’s really cool, I want to buy it, and I’m plotting a DIY autoharp right now.
Just threw this in and it once again knocked my socks off. Both Ugly Mane / Shawn Kemp and Nick are in top form here
I say we go a step further and make sure to at least mention Reddit in EVERY post so the web indexers start bringing up these threads when people search “blah blah blah reddit” because Google is terrible without adding reddit to the end of a search string.
This has been consensus across most of Reddit. Most people don’t care, and won’t care. So, those of us that do just need to be here making the best of it and not worrying about Reddit. Once there is comparable amounts of content in the Fediverse, people will end up joining for the same reason they joined Reddit.
I initially signed up for Reddit after I kept getting sent links to Reddit. It was just a place that had information I was interested in.
Right now, telling people to join because it will eventually be good and it’s ethically good doesn’t work because there’s not much here and most people are fine using commercial software.
However once there is a wealth of information here, say someone publishes a very good guide for self-hosting and you have a friend that wants to self-host a Plex server, you link them to a lemmy or kbin guide. They will naturally be compelled to join and ask questions if they have them.
It takes time. Just let those of us that are ideologically driven create content good enough that everyone else ends up coming for their own reasons.
Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!
One of my favs for sure - the melody is bitten from this Japanese synth track per Mac in an interview at one point… https://youtu.be/Q8oS_B6IaKE
