NGL, a lot of my relative tech literacy comes from just seeing all the programming posts too and getting curios.
Just the other day i learned that there is so called “snowflakes” that apprently work as a way to enter the tor network by pretending to be a video call. Crazy cool stuff some people come up with.

Honestly, Lemmy does have a lot of the early Reddit vibes. If you start using user tags, you’ll realize just how active users are, and how tight-knit the comments sections really are. I often end up finding myself responding to the same 10-20 users.

You’re now tagged as “user tag advocate”. See you around!

Most of the tags I’ve assigned to people are less than flattering.
Wolf@lemmy.today 5 days ago
I can understand why. I’ve only been on here 2 months and can think if a half a dozen users I’d like to tag so I know not to waste my time trying to have a discussion with them.

TIL, user tags, cool

Can anyone recommend a good Lemmy client for Linux? Bonus points if it works well in portrait mode.
I am on Pop!_OS 22.04 and the only apps in the COSMIC Store are Interstellar and Lemonade.
Interstellar seems fine but if there is a way to tag users in it I can’t seem to figure it out, it also seems designed for Landscape mode and it’s a little cramped on my second monitor.
Lemonade hasn’t been updated since October of 2023, so I’m a little wary of trying that one out. I can’t even tell if they are still developing it or something called Ouch Browser, or if its the same project with a new name.
I know there are other Lemmy Apps but I am a little lost tbh.

I settled on using the phtn.app front-end in a browser.

I had a few - not a lot, but some - user notes, but recently switched phones (and to GrapheneOS) and lost them. I used and use Connect, which does have an export/import process, but when I start it I can’t find a way to actually begin the export, i.e. generate the file.
As such, I’m stuck recreating notes by hand. Still, I enjoy creating new ones, as I just did for you, and I love the aspect of Lemmy that you described.

Oh hey, I had you tagged as “not a named after the tiles”, so this isn’t the first time I’ve seen you around!
toynbee@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Flattered to have earned the distinction! I’m not as prolific as some, but I’m always around and have talked about my username at least five times, so it’s not surprising that you would have made note of it.

then it just became an aggregate forum where you can discuss many niches without being censured like with alot forums from a single mod/owner.
