Reviving !linux@programming.dev as an alternative to !linux@lemmy.ml

!linux@programming.dev

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let’s see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

    Crazy read, yes Lemmy.ml is problematic.

    But some kind of post mirroring is still needed to make this really work.

      Hopefully people will agree with you and post to !linux@programming.dev rather than !linux@lemmy.ml

      And people will probably keep an eye on both and repost from the old one to the new one

          Sorry, links are a bit messy sometimes with Mbin

            !community@domain.name

            Should work fine. Not sure how your comment syntax looked like but the second link also worked properly, just not the first one.

              I used the same for both, I even checked after your comment. Anyway, at least yours work

      It’s something that needs to be done on the activitypub protocol level. As users we can only work with what we got available to us.

        Sure? Not on the lemmy side?

        But yes, it is what it is. I copied a lot of my posts over

          The Fediverse is more than just Lemmy. If you’d make a Lemmy exclusive solution, then only Lemmy would actually be able to use it.

              And what makes you think that other software / sites do not?
