I have been a Kagi subscriber for about a year and a half now. It is so much better than Google and DDG and everything else I've tried. It took a while for me to bite the bullet and pay, but now I'm paying for the year up front (for a nice discount, too). I would be very disappointed if I had to use another engine. They've even implemented a few feature requests I've had. That would never happen with Google.

With the rewrite rules, lenses, custom bangs, and domain raising/lowering, I get exactly what I need out of search.

It feels weird to pay at first, but it's a great service.

Jerboa is the only app I'm aware of. I've been using the web UI and hoping Sync eventually materializes.

In theory, this instance could be defederated if it's full of rule breakers that cause trouble with other instances. So don't do that.

We're a small team of 6 and follow Git Flow for branching. Every change that wants to go into the develop branch needs an approval on the pull request by one of the two senior developers on the team.

We have (virtual) meetings for any changes that require discussion; some things are difficult to quickly communicate over pull request comments.

When it comes to code style, our standard is "format it using IntelliJ". Same with warnings -- if the IDE calls it out, it's fair game in the review. Personally, I check out every branch I'm reviewing so that I can navigate easily and enable my own warnings, which are generally strict.

Most PR comments start as questions because sometimes questionable looking code can be correct, then things go from there.

I think the fragmentation is a feature; if a server wants to have a Reddit moment and take their ball and go home, the other communities are all still there. Getting the UI to combine the communities visually would be nice, though. I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

I alternate between CLion and VSCode depending on what I'm doing. CLion has nice refactoring tools, but VSCode has much better GitHub Copilot integration.

One can only hope he's thinking about a Lemmy version. I'd gladly pay.
