It’s definitely been working out for me, for years now. I have two boyfriends, they get along well and also both date other people. There were a few growing pains of course. Overall though, smoother than expected!

You can from Mastodon! Not sure from Pixelfed but it seems probable? With mastodon it’s something like… you just @ mention the community, and have one separate line at the top to become the post title? I think?

It does have groups! And they’re even interoperable with Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin groups. The experience is definitely very Facebook like, and there are themes that make it even more so.

On the other hand, every instance I’ve ever been on has run into serious lag issues and/or collapsed entirely… Hoping that’s not universal or else gets fixed soon.

The gui installer was roughly about as simple as any other distro I’ve tried, and stuff generally seemed to work out of the box. There are more packages than one might expect from such a small distro too. Not sure I have any advice specific to Void really, although getting a custom bootloader onto a Chromebook was certainly a trip lol

Void, because it works really well on my super low-resource chromebook!

That’s what my house says too lol

While i definitely agree, none of this is a deal breaker for me. What is a deal breaker is this: I am on my third Friendica account now because the first 2 instances both started struggling and then collapsed. The one I’m on now is suddenly running very slow, just like the first 2 before the end. It seems to me like maybe they’re kinda hard to run?

I’m always soooo excited for native fediverse apps, because PWAs are annoying in a bunch of ways. But then it actually happens, and I remember that none of the cool themes will be in there 😅

This is still AWESOME though!! I think that’s what was holding a lotttttt of people off, waiting for an app

I don’t have a specific suggestion, but anything running on QMK firmware is a pretty good choice! Works on Linux, works anywhere, stores all your programming onboard so it’ll carry over to other computers automatically

This, 100%

WHOAAA!!! that’s actually a HUGE deal and it hadn’t even occurred to me how much I was missing it.

Ok, so i almost took your advice. I made it “left up down right”. It feels much more natural for me than “left down up right”, I think for two reasons: 1, I’m left-handed and usually have my left hand on the mouse, and 2, the staggering makes this up key physically further forward than the down key. But it does feel much better than what I had before, thanks!

Ahh i see! Do you think that order would also be more suitable for gaming?

That does seem like a good idea, i don’t love where M(0) is currently

Truth be told, I’m not much of a coder lol. What little I do is mostly all in like VSCode or Kate. Vim is some kind of terminal based editor right? What’s “vim sequence”?

They came as Enter and Delete and I haven’t changed them yet. Enter is pretty intuitive and useful being there, not sure about Delete though! Any suggestions?

I do it pretty much the same as you actually! It’s always kinda hard to tell what other people are doing though. Since my instance is kinda small, I barely see a tiny fraction of whatever total boosts/favorites a post has unless i click through to the orignal.

It wouod be amazing to see Ibis take off and pick up more developers

Oh wow, I never thought to do it that way, but it makes so much sense! Thanks for the tip

It’s nice!
