I’ve made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I’d like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I’ve even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.
I’m willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren’t and that’s something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome
I’ve had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync’s filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as “Tankies”, “Anti-Tankies”, commies, fuckcar communities that aren’t even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.
Like, don’t get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I’ve definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn’t much here for me.
Vue feels like the good parts of angular boiled down into a much easier to use package similar to React. I actually really like it, but I think I do prefer react over both of them at this point. The states and effects just make a lot more sense to me at a baseline than Observables and whatnot
I’ve been maintaining a website that I built for a local nonprofit the last few days so it really hits close to home haha. I originally built it on Angular a few years ago because it’s all I knew at the time. Since then I’ve used both Vue and React which makes going back and maintaining the Angular project such a pain
Sorry I can’t hear you over all those observables
We have different reasons for getting the hell away from reddit. I came to lemmy because reddit killed sync. I paid like $3 for Sync in 2014 and used it every day until Reddit killed it without seeing a single ad. So, not only do I disagree with Sync for Lemmy missing the point of getting away with reddit, but I also disagree with the notion that sink for Lemmy is in any way bad for having an ad - supported tier when you can pay a negligible amount of money ( $20 in 2023 ) and never see an ad again for the entire lifetime of the app.
Legit. I paid $3 for Sync back in 2014 and used it daily for nine years.
I’ve been using Sync for Lemmy since it was first released and I still haven’t seen an ad. I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.
I’ve definitely had experiences with both. I’ve seen churches that used the money to feed the poor. I’ve also been to churches who said you would “suffer” if you didn’t tithe at least 10% of your paycheck and that never did any kind of community outreach - they would just spend the money on expansions for the church building and bonuses for the pastor.
So it’s definitely a mixed bag
I only see this community when I’m browsing all and it feels like a good chunk of these posts aren’t actually about Linux - they’re about how Windows is bad
I’ve been using AWS Amplify for the past five years completely for free. You’d have to get a huge website to get to the point where they start charging
I hope that there is another RPG in development. Not crazy about the art style in this game.
The use cases definitely do come up where you want the logic inside the loop to execute at least once. One common use case I have is validating user input in console applications. Put the instructions for validating the user’s inputs inside a do while and then run logic to validate it at the end - that way you can easily loop back to the start and re-prompt them for the user input again.
