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.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The UI's a little janky, search doesn't always produce clickable links (mostly federated subs).
Finding subs relies on lemmyverse, when it should be integrated into the sites.
Similar subs should federate together, not be siloed. More USENET, less phpbb.
Kbin has a strange division of threads and "magazines", which means clicking thru multiple places to read anything, Lemmy & Beehaw seem simpler.
Looks neat, but I need a ELI5 on the instances/Fediverse/how it works in general (Looking at YT videos right now). Also I miss the "hide all child comments" I had on reddit (or was is RES?)
So far, I'm loving it. I'm using Jerboa (android client for Lemmy), which is working nicely.
I only prefer Beehaw. I look into the popular lemmy.ml but the categories were all over the place.
I was a subscriber of r/Sizz, I hope a lot of niche communities like that will pop up on lemmy.
Day or two of work, looks like home.
Lemmy has bugs and lacks features. Assuming those get ironed out and I expect they will in time, I'll like it a lot better than Reddit. Actually even with its shortcomings I like it better. The issues facing Reddit are of a different nature and for sure those will never get worked out, only worsen.
Otherwise the content on Lemmy is adequate for me. What's interesting is I actually get more rounded information here. Reddit is so big that I can only subscribe to a limited number of subs before I get overloaded. Here I'm subscribed to a healthy set of communities so I see posts on a wider array of topics.
I think people are bit intimidated by the Fediverse at first. Once you have a basic understanding of what's going on, it becomes pretty transparent. It's just the added step of finding a good instance to log into. Once you've overcome that, it's all downwind sailing.
I think it's nice so far, though I haven't used it much. There are some communities on Reddit that I miss on Beehaw. I also check Raddle (not fediverse) for trans memes since r/traa users have moved there. ~Cherri
