I can relate to this. And off the record (I know it’s not always a super appreciated opinion in the Fediverse): for this kind of problem I find that LLMs help a lot.

Thanks for sharing!

That kind of behavior can also be a sign that the documentation is hard to find or hard to comprehend. Or that something isn’t documented at all, but the seniors imagine it is, because the answer is obvious to them.

If someone actually wants help searching Lemmy or the Fediverse, I recommend this site: https://fedi-search.com/

Very simple, but it does the job. It’s also good if one wants to learn advanced Google queries.

Remember that most people don’t even know there is something called “rankings” or “indexer” in this context.

Actually I did. Not thanks to you though.

Probably good, but I want to stay away from anything related to Kubernetes. My experience is that it’s an overkill black hole of constant debugging. Unfortunately. Thanks though!

Looks good. Thanks!

It’s much more powerful though. Based on Org-Mode.

OrgNote

Seems pretty cool! I have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Mastodon simply is a different thing than X/Bluesky. It’s more like RSS/Blog/IRC. It will never go mainstream unless they add (opt out) algorithms and a better search functionality. But maybe that’s just not worth it. Mastodon has already lost to Bluesky when it comes to being an open mainstream Twitter replacement.

I’m curious about if it’s even technically possible to build something federated that feels like a Twitter replacement, using the ActivityPub protocol.

Not much. Except for less competent leadership short term. And probably more forks long term.

Use markdown instead.

Maybe better to recommend Doom Emacs, if no BS is a requirement. It takes time to make friends with vanilla Emacs.

Micro or NeoVim if you’re a minimalist. Emacs or VS Code otherwise (a little bit of BS maybe). And Windows terminal plus WSL if you’re on Windows.

Interesting that people still use Notepad++. Haven’t touched it in 15+ years.

And Python of course.

My guess is that Threads implementation and Meta capital is necessary if ActivityPub and fediverse is to ever go mainstream. Mastodon just sucks too much and Threads might introduce some healthy competition that will make Mastodon survive long term.

I have no ideological problem with this. I believe that for-profit and non-profit complement each other. I’m a Social Democrat after all.

And I’m really annoyed by Mastodon instances that block Threads content. That’s just so extremely stupid from a fediverse strategy and a content quality perspective.
