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've been wondering if we're losing users. My "Everything" feed sorted by Active is full of posts with zero comments, and a great deal of them are just news article links that were probably automated.

    Active is kind of a lackluster sorting method imo, Hot is awesome bc you get fresh posts (like Trending on that other site) aside from a couple 3M old posts that show up, Top 6h, 12h, Day are good too. New comments is cool if you want well engaged posts.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I assumed active meant people were engaging, but I guess up-dooting counts as engagement.

    Yeeeah just after Reddit died all kinds of people were there, now it's just the usual Linux users and the scripts creating fake traffic

    [–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

    It why i default sort to hot, and longterm browse by top 12H

    I recently joined lemmy, because fuck reddit. And that's the first thing I saw. Lots of posted articles without comments. What do I do to combat that? Posting comments xD

    I've found a lot of user generated posts here to contribute to, but the article thing has started occurring more often recently.
