There are some communities where the vast majority of posts are by on or two users reposting news articles.
Sometimes they'll summarize below, but they will almost never share their opinions on the article, or even just ask what others may think about in regards to this aspect or that aspect. So the entire feed is just URLs.
I would feel more engaged to comment on those posts, or even start a post in the community, when it doesn't feel like a bunch of robots reposting the daily slop.
I was wondering what viewpoints and opinions this community has when it comes to cryptocurrency.
Personally, I'm not against it, but I'm not for it either. I like the concept of bringing back cash anonymity, and also decentralization (obviously). Although I don't think it will be viable for at least another decade.
Very open-ended. Looking into Kakoune and just out of pure curiosity, I was wondering which plugins/setups you have and/or recommend?

I was wondering if anyone here has attempted the new "COW filesystem for Linux that won't eat your data".
It's supposedly has been stable since the start of 2023. I'm willing to give it a try on Arch, but before I do, I'd like to hear if anyone has faced any issues with it.
I want to discuss a better means of organizing tags for websites that use a generic tagging system. I propose a tag hierarchy.
Basically, if I search for #dog, I should find posts with #puppy, #pug, #baby_pugs, #cute_dogs, etc.
But, if I search for #pug, I should only get posts with #pug, or other tags like #baby_pugs, #cute_pugs, etc.
This would make adding 50+ similar tags to a post irrelevant and allow for normal people to put a single obscure tag and still gain visibility.
I want to bring this idea up to more people. Where should I discuss this? You can suggest any website, community, or Lemmy instance where I could possibly develop this further.
I'm happy to discuss this here as well.
[Edit for clarity]: I am not just talking about tags for the federation and Mastodon. I am talking about improving any and all websites with a generic tagging system. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. etc.
I'm attempting a new install. I want to use btrfs with swapfile.
Do I need to disable compression on my swap subvolume?
Is there anything else I should keep in mind for fstab if I want to, say, not keep track of my Downloads folder when snapshotting?
Here is my fstab:

I was exploring an obscure Linux distro when I noticed they're contact page had an IRC client. You can connect to the IRC via Matrix, but the people there prefer pure IRC.
My question is do other programmers use IRC? Also why?
I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.
I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .
What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?
