I haven’t really dived down the customization rabbit hole for linux yet, but I’ve been poking around, and after seeing stuff like this tons of the stuff that was on UNIXporn, it makes me want to seriously try out some of the other DE’s that are out there.

I’m curious, was the Reddit alternative non Lemmy based? I know there have been a bunch of attempts have been tried, but I didn’t keep up too much.

I assume this is because of adhering to ActivityPub standards?

I’ve known about Lemmy for a few months and just registered with Beehaw because it looked active and had a funny name.

What has been the biggest driver in activity? I’m curious how a community like Beehaw bootstraps itself into existence

r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum

all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.

all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’m getting big digg exodus vibes right now.

I think it’ll happen in waves. There were the early adopters for federated servers. Then the second wave of settlers (right now), then more and more waves will happen as the commercialization of social web platforms squeeze users of everything they have.

Culture trickles up from the deep niche communities, and one by one those communities are being suffocated. It’s only a matter of time…
