Took me a rough winter of self-tamed ducks before I figured out auto-slaughter, I only had low skilled folks… all they could do was chop wood, kill ducks, oil, get food poisoning and wait.

AI will replace all of us at our jobs.

With Bermuda grass.

I messaged the owner of /m/cigars@kbin.social to see if they intended to be active and didn’t hear back, so I made /m/Tobacconist@kbin.social and have been posting anything relevant I could while I wait for other people that maybe care at all about that stuff.

Otherwise I’m trying to pick one sub to post to for each of my broader hobbies, and I respond regularly to whatever pops up in /all

No food yet just coffee - probably make an egg Sammy soon

One of my favs for sure - the melody is bitten from this Japanese synth track per Mac in an interview at one point… https://youtu.be/Q8oS_B6IaKE

Lemmy dev(s?) are pro-CCP which has driven some people away from the platform and others to unaffiliated instances.

If you start drafting the intro / explainer in VSCode so you can easily reference things in the code you already failed.

Yeah, to get regular folks (like, even the nerdy ones for the most part) you have to just drop the jargon entirely. It’s social media / community building, don’t talk about it like a grad school coding project.

Bumping this because it’s really cool, I want to buy it, and I’m plotting a DIY autoharp right now.

Just threw this in and it once again knocked my socks off. Both Ugly Mane / Shawn Kemp and Nick are in top form here

I say we go a step further and make sure to at least mention Reddit in EVERY post so the web indexers start bringing up these threads when people search “blah blah blah reddit” because Google is terrible without adding reddit to the end of a search string.

This has been consensus across most of Reddit. Most people don’t care, and won’t care. So, those of us that do just need to be here making the best of it and not worrying about Reddit. Once there is comparable amounts of content in the Fediverse, people will end up joining for the same reason they joined Reddit.

I initially signed up for Reddit after I kept getting sent links to Reddit. It was just a place that had information I was interested in.

Right now, telling people to join because it will eventually be good and it’s ethically good doesn’t work because there’s not much here and most people are fine using commercial software.

However once there is a wealth of information here, say someone publishes a very good guide for self-hosting and you have a friend that wants to self-host a Plex server, you link them to a lemmy or kbin guide. They will naturally be compelled to join and ask questions if they have them.

It takes time. Just let those of us that are ideologically driven create content good enough that everyone else ends up coming for their own reasons.

Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!
