A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

every time I look at my phone I'm instinctively hitting the RIF app... this is gonna take a while to adapt to, but new communities are popping up all the time, new server instances appearing, and new users flooding in so perhaps we can continue to being unproductive procrastinators.

On the upside, I guess my productivity will go up by at least 5% for a few days.

Anyone know if there's a good lemmy community for tracking the creation of new communities? In particular, ones that existed on reddit and now exist here?

I think something like this would be a fantastic idea and would help accelerate adoption.

Discoverability is a real shortcoming of Lemmy but if we circle around one or more communities focused on helping connect users to communities it could ease the transition significantly.

There are some popular comment chains on the github pages talking about implementing a customizable aggregator, much like multi-reddits / custom feeds. you could add a bunch of similar (or identical) communities across multiple instances and combine them into one feed to be interacted with as if it were one singular community. Definite interest from the devs, and it is possible in the architecture so just a matter of time.
