Hello! I’m Alex a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS (btw) and am a Reddit refugee.
I’m Gen Z, btw.
Even if I don’t mention this in the replies, thanks for taking the time to reply to my help posts, even if your solution isn’t quite right.
Same, but I’ll advertise it here - [email protected]
I saw someone suggest lemons lol
I didn’t think that about lemmings
The friendly community
I tried to make an account last year but got bored waiting to be approved :/
Well, I can have the config for the Pi in my dotfiles repo, just like my PC. Also, it’s reproducible and declarative, so if my SD card breaks, I can install NixOS on another one, switch to my config, and be up and running again.
I personally use NixOS (unstable) on my PC and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop (didn’t have time to switch it to NixOS).
I also use NixOS on my Pi 4
Technically, I have used mastodon, but for at most 10 minutes. Lemmy is the first fediverse app I use daily.
I personally exported the comments that I deleted, so they aren’t lost. I might put them online, for archive sake

Try PowerDeleteSuite on GitHub.
I’m in a similar situation - I used to semi-lurk reddit, making maybe 2 comments per week and a post a month. The thing is, I really had to think about what I posted there, because with one opinion that the hivemind disagrees with I could lose most of my karma. Also, it would take a long time to get replies to posts that weren’t memes, if I even got any.
Bit here? No karma system, and way more active community. I made a post yesterday, before I went to sleep, and when I woke up it had around 5 comments. That post was in a niche community
I’m Gen Z and never got to experience the old internet, but I have seen old posts on stuff like Google Groups and mail lists. The fediverse has a similar vibe, and I like it

Probably, since it’s decentralised people can just move to another instance if the mods on theirs abuse their power.
NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.
Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.
It’s the right community. I guess this would also work on [email protected]
