The biggest thing is content and discoverability.

Any good channel recommendations?

It’s a lot of fun. It only took me a couple of hours to figure out how to make a “site”.

Our local community is getting into it.

It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.

A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.

I just kept linking to the server in discord and then people started using it. They don’t even know they are using mastodon lol.

There’s automation and you can do it manually if needed. For example I have a couple of emulators that pull every 24 hours from GitHub just in case nint tendo gets a little lawsuit heavy. I also have one offs from GitHub that pull down when I want.

You can also mirror a public repo from GitHub into a private repo so it does not gets indexed/ai trained.

One place I worked at just gave people Linux computers without telling them and disabled the boot image. The job was mostly online Salesforce, so Chrome got them through everything. Imaging was a breeze. We even made it kinda look like windows. No one really commented on it. We didnt hide it from anyone but we didnt go out of our way to make a big deal out of it.

Linux works when people stop thinking of it as “Linux”. Its “Android” or “Steam OS” or “My smart TV” etc… All you need to do is rename it and suddenly they are ok with it.

Its a feature not a bug :)

My issue is lemmy.world (and other bigger instances) is so big that it was just slamming my tiny personal lemmy then later piefed server, so I had to give up. There was a HUGE queue of changes for my little instance of one user.

Sdf is pretty amazing.

Honestly they should be using https://publer.com/ or something similar. Makes publishing and maintenance of social media very easy. If you have a large org it makes sense to publish to multiple platforms.

They got caught doing this over a decade ago as well.
