Hold my beer! LEMMINGS
I only know enough code to break things, but I wouldn’t mind working on some documentation - I’ll go read what Lemmy needs; thanks for reminding me that anyone can chip in.
System76/PopOS always bringing the noise!!
I’m trying to get the mLem iOS app…
The real question is what Window Manager has the best GUI… you can run any window manager on any distro - it just takes a little work.
If you’re talking about out-of-the-box without any user customization, I’ll make a couple suggestions that I think work for new Linux users - not that I’m saying you’re green, but most power users know they can fully design the OS from the ground up if needed.
PopOS - In between - GNOME-like with some PopOS customizations under the hood.
ElementaryOS - MacOS-like WM thats clean fresh and easy to understand
Mint - Cinnamon DM, Windows-like with some customization possible
I’m going to setup a Lemmy node. I’m not on lemmy.ml anyway, but I want this platform to r0ck!
I’ll lean it up ASAP!
As I read your post, I had a lot of the same thoughts as others have replied… first I was ready to kill my /r/ accounts and run away forever [which I would regardless, except the masses are there…] and then I didn’t full trust the reason behind your ban - I’ve talked about other open source/federated projects on Reddit, a lot…
And I assume the truth of the matter lies somewhere in between… regardless of that, tho, I appreciate your post. I’m sorry that you got the boot from big brother and I’m happy that you’re here, using Lemmy and whatever Lemmy community you’re on. [I’m on Beehaw.org.]
While I use Reddit, I think I know the solution for me… I’m going to start talking about Lemmy there in all my /r/tech* subs. Lemmy is worthy of the talk, and for users to come over… I’ll promote Beehaw.org, as I fully agree with their policies and ideals for running the site - and I’ll see what, if any, pushback I get on the /r/ platform.
If for any reason I run into the same as you’re experiencing, I want to know sooner than later so I can rid myself of the /r/ forever!!
/r/retrobattlestations, /r/retrocomputing, /r/BBS… I’d be happy to mod one, but don’t see how to create - I’m new so… I’d love for a BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) and other retro-computing subs. w00t w00t!!!

Ok; I’ll take a peek… but I’m really feeling the LemmyNet vibe. That being said, I haven’t used friendica so I’ll drop by and have a l00k.
