Formatting

FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Genuine question, what is a tiling window manager?
Edit: Thanks everyone for the replies. Had no idea this was even a thing people cared about haha
A window manager is part of every desktop suite. It controls how you view the windows of your different applications.
A tiling window manager doesn't generally allow the windows of different applications to overlap. You don't usually move them with a mouse.
Instead, they open and arrange according to an internal logic, which is usually scriptable and highly customizable by the user.
It's a piece of software which automatically arranges open windows on your desktop according to different algorithms and layouts, and allows you to switch focus them and move them around in the layout by using keyboard shortcuts. One you get in the flow, you very rarely have to use the mouse to move windows around, maximize them, minimize them, resize them etc.
If you've ever seen a post on !unixporn@lemmy.ml or similar places, the vast majority of them are using tiling window managers to get that look of clean organized windows on the desktop!
@Waker @LGUG2Z As I recall, it's a window manager that keeps all windows tiled all the time. i.e. all windows are fully visible, tiled.
