VSCodium help/alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

Hi! I'm having a bit of a struggle with VSCodium. I'm not sure what I did, but I can't access the liveserver in my browser, and the extensions won't load to download them. I keep getting "Error fetching extensions. Failed to fetch" So that's been frustrating. Are there any fixes? What's a good VSCodium alternative I could try?

              at the full-featured end, VSCode (OSS Code, VSCodium) has pretty much captured the market
for a while, Atom was a popular competitor until MS closed it down, you might have some luck with its successors: Zed or Pulsar

mid-range, Kate and Geany have their fans
deluxe text editors, join the Emacs / vim holy wars
plain text editors, give up on extensions, plugins, etc. and just edit text

Zed hasn't come out for Windows yet...
