18.4k posts, and his only two comments are those.

I can't say I've ever been to classes that have that issue or have heard anyone with a similar complaint.

If it's really that much of a problem for your specific school, class, or just you (for some reason), then it can easily be remedied with a power strip, or several if that's really how bad it is.

I'm reluctant to take your word at face value, though. Lots of hyperbole going on on these forums.

Somebody already mentioned that, and I mentioned how all the communities are all locked and literally only the bot can post.

It also appears to only mirror reddit, with no connection to other lemmy instances.

This is not what I am talking about adding.

That's not true. There's one bot that routinely posts to news communities called "MicroWave" and there are consistently people engaging with its posts.

Most people don't even recognize it's a bot.

For a most niches on lemmy, there aren't alternative communities that are more active.

Thanks. This is interesting, but it looks like all of the communities are locked and only the bot gets to post.

I'm also referring to something that just copies the posts, but doesn't include the comments for either side.

It probably doesn't make much sense to mirror /r/technology to /c/technology since that community is already popular and self-sustaining on lemmy.

There are countless other 'niche' communities that have no posts for months, however. There already isn't anyone engaging in these communities and it's unlikely that that will change because nobody wants to manually make posts that next to nobody is going to see. It's cyclical.

 

Seems like it would be a good way to funnel content into more niche communities by tying their posts to whatever is posted on a subreddit until they can take off on their own.

Does such a thing exist? If not, making it shouldn't be too difficult. I could probably whip something up real quick and toss it up on a software sharing platform.

Would anyone be interested in something like this? It could actually work really well with Lemmy's option to show/hide bot posts because people could choose if they want to see it at all.

Framework laptops are overpriced and underspecced.

Yeah.

I recommend not letting the "wisdom of the crowd" dictate your decisions in the computing space, even with Linux.

Most of these people don't really know what they're talking about and are doing whatever they think will make them look good in front of their peers.

Try to see things for yourself and gain your own knowledge. Theory is no substitute for experience, but the average computer user doesn't understand that.

Nothing really wrong with florida.

I say this, because I've come across genuine morons who live in Texas and have the nerve to scoff at florida while ignoring their shithole state and the one directly to the east of it.

People with garages big enough for a nice car

What the fuck? I can tell you don't have a garage, because for 99% of them size isn't going to impact the 'niceness' of the car you can have in it.

Challenge: People who lived in major cities understanding that there's more to life than what goes on in them.

Level: Impossible.
