A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Keep in mind you're comparing a very mature platform with one that's literally still in alpha.
True, but that doesn’t change the fact that if you need that kind of support right now, you’re dependent on Reddit.
And I think it’ll take a while for Lemmy to build the size of user base that makes those kinds of specialised communities viable, unfortunately. Although I very much hope it happens.
Granted -- I think it's the "(still)" remark that prompted mine.
Certainly a tough pill to swallow that to continue participating in those communities you either need to keep feeding the beast, or go wherever the majority of that community goes (which simply may not end up being Lemmy).
