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
sudoin 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!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.
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
Here’s some tips for paring a feed gone mad down… https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/08/10/curating-mastodon-feed
Happy Fediversing!
404 on first link…
Edit: nevermind, it's just that you included a dot at the end of the link.
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).
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.
