Oh wow, this seems like a fantastic addition. One of these days I really gotta switch from my decade old tmux workflow to zellij!

I can somewhat relate. I mostly do something like this (instead of the exact dependency version):

chrono = {version = "0", features = ["serde"]}
clap = {version = "4", features = ["derive"]}
anyhow = "1"

I do, however, typically write application code instead of library, so it’s probably less critical for me. Occasionally do run into dependency hell here and there, but nothing too bad so far!

A few things:

• Instances are like their own self-hosted Reddits with communities being the sub-reddits. We have (had?) r/python, r/rust, r/golang along with r/programming; we can do the same here with topic-focused instance (like this one). I can imagine there being instances like lemmygo.org, lemmypy.org etc if the Reddit exodus continues.
• You don’t need multiple accounts to access communities (sub-reddits) from other instances (reddit). A single account on any instance allows you to access communities from any other instance. The UX/UI is a bit wonky, but it works.
• As @erlend_sh@lemmyrs.org pointed out, micro-communities like cli, wasm, networking etc can potentially become big enough and/or have specifics that are more suitable to exist on a topic-based instance.

Personally, I don’t have any preference. I will simply subscribe to the community which is the most active on whichever instance.

Hey !meta@lemmyrs.org should be open now for non-admins to create posts. My apologies I had it setup for admin-only post creation on it earlier.

As for the logo, I was actually a bit concerned about it when setting this instance and communities up because I didn’t quite know which icons were in public-domain for general consumption, so I picked the ones with the most permissive licenses I could find. Happy to change to whatever icon(s) the community desires as long as we don’t use any icon with a strict license.

I have been using Artix Linux for many years now. On laptops I prefer to use either Fedora or PopOs!

Dead cells by far!

In order of play time on the deck:

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Katana Zero
• Hi-Fi Rush
• Neon White

I’ve added https://lemmyrs.org/c/support for largely the same reason :)

Hey! I recently made a post detailing the instance I run. Admittedly it’s tiny compared to the big ones but I wanted to get something going :)

Borderlands series is pretty fun split screen!

If old.reddit.com gets taken down, I’m out for good.

As good as the fediverse is, there has to be a tremendous amount of work to make it easier for non-tech folks to participate. I am excited though, being here certainly feels like the good old simpler web.

Yeah, I know folks are struggling to find the communities on other instances. I posted https://lemmyrs.org/comment/3900 if it helps. Basically you start your search with the full URL, wait a second and then switch back to text search and it pops up magically.

The UX certainly needs some polish, but we’ll get there :)

Okay, so it is definitely a little wonky but I was able to search for lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang from another instance.

I first had to paste the full url https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar then click search a few times for it to actually show up.

I understand it’s very annoying that it is this way but I’m hopeful that the experience will smooth out over time.

Hmm, I’ll try to debug that tomorrow. It has been a bit flaky in my experience as well. Some folks have had success subscribing from other instances fwiw but its been admittedly inconsistent.

I myself have been figuring things out, but ideally you should be able to just go to Communites -> Search and it should show all the relevant named communities from other instances (as long as the instances are listed in federation, which lemmyrs.org is fwiw).

Admittedly that functionality is a little flaky in my limited experience.

Greetings! The legend himself!

I made the suggested communities over at lemmyrs.org. The next few weeks are going to be very interesting!

I mostly agree with you and the fact is yes there are no guarantees. But that’s kind of the point, I don’t believe that lemmy.ml would be around forever either, will lemmyrs be? I don’t know! I see it as an opportunity to further decentralize and diversify the existing ecosystem. FWIW, the maintainers themselves encourage hosting other instances :)

As long as you’re already here then yeah you can just subscribe to https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang. lemmyrs.org serves as an instance for those who haven’t yet joined the fediverse to help keep the load off of the main beehaw/lemmy.ml instances.

If there’s enough traction in the rustlang community then lemmyrs.org can serve both as the instance to join fediverse as well the main rust community on fediverse. I think its too early to tell.

If by channel you mean a community (I don’t really know the difference), I’ve made one at /c/rustlang

I believe I got shadow-banned as well for trying to promote the instance I host, oh well 🤷
