Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).

    Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.

    [–] Jagermo@feddit.de 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    That's the biggest thing. My Mastodon is very curated as is my subscribed feed. Put work in, get quality out.

    How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven't created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

    Here’s some tips for discoverability and building out a Mastodon follow feed - https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/08/17/mastodon-discoverability

    Happy Fediversing!

    404 on first link…

    Edit: nevermind, it's just that you included a dot at the end of the link.

    [–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 2 points 11 months ago

    Thanks! Some of the tips are certainly not obvious to people not familiar with mastodon like me (follow a lot of people first to discover stuff they boosted then prune it later, follow people that boosts a lot).

    [–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

    Yeah you have to follow hashtags on mastodon and it helps to find good curators with similar tastes to you.

    At least with lemmy the situation is simpler, all you have to do is join /c/Risa to fill your feed.

    [–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

    I think it's mostly people viewing the "All"/"Community" feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven't really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your "Home" feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.

    Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.

    Honestly the linux stuff doesn't bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.

    I'm a huge Linux geek and I rarely see Linux on my feed.

    I think a good and easy way to discover new people is to follow hashtags.

    I follow couple local pets work-related hobby and urbanism hastags, and I was able to discover new conversation and new people in these space quite quickly.
