I have been lurking here for a while now and made my first post for this project
Thanks for the suggestion, crossposted to !nixos: https://lemmy.ml/post/738999
Edit: I didn’t want this to show up on people’s timelines twice since !nixos is a small community, but seems like lemmy handles crossposts perfectly, and I don’t have to worry about that, so I crossposted this to a couple more communities
Yeah Lemmy is pretty good on that and overall as well. I wish more people would move from the popular proprietary/centralized forums alike to here. Maybe it just needs more word of mouth…
