omg i used to have one of these!!! so cool what you’ve done with it 😭
my biggest tip is that if you’re on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.
when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.
then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.
and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰
hi and welcome! i’m 1 month old here and also love it. great community, good conversation abd spez is slowly fading into the rear view mirror little by little each day.
yes as everyone has said i like it here - engaged more here in 2 weeks than in 5 years on reddit. everyone seems nicer and you get the sense fills are genuinely trying to help build this community by getting out of their comfort zone and contribute. ❤️
spez fucking with 3rd party developers, mods and fucking down on lies to the community.
not at all. i fell into computing in my mid 20s. somehow i managed to learn enough to get myself hired at one of the largest technology companies in the world where i’ve now been over 20 years.
has it been easy? definitely not. without that classic computer science degree my peers have i’ve had to be scrappier and move faster to be on top of emerging tech where the playing field is a little more equal. i can this “surfing” the tech.
since i started i’ve participated in the birth of the internet, mobile, public cloud, big data, startups and now ai.
if you love it you can make it happen - just be realistic and stay scrappy ❤️
this ^^. even if we peel off 5% in a relatively even scrape across all the interests that’s enough content for me to scratch the itch daily.
fwiw i work with a bunch of former ibmers.
super super nice people who are crazy smart.
but think something in their brains got wired differently when they worked there - they just build all sorts of amazing stuff without thinking about the strategy for it. who will use it, in what scenarios, how will it be supported once interest surpasses cycles of the creator.
not all indicative of the companies history or current reputation but interesting to see at the micro level
agree with what everyone else has said here. worry less about “should” and go find your tribe wherever it may be.
as i once said to a friend who contemplated the same kind of move years ago, if it doesn’t work out you can always move back. not like it’s a one way street.
