personally i always found stow to be annoying to use and switched to a bare git-repo approach. you can read up on it over here: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles. Like this your dotfiles just rest where they should and it’s rather minimal overhead.

that would probably be a more healthy position to sit in then what i’m used to lol

It’s not Lemmy it’s mostly lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, two of the biggest instances. As both name’s imply both are communist in nature but both host communities for multiple topics since they where the most active instances. The Lemmy Devs originally created Lemmy due to Reddit banning/quarantining multiple leftist subreddits around 2018/2019 and created lemmy.ml as the first instance. Don’t know the history behind lemmygrad but it’s a communist instance nonetheless.

this is incredibly cursed. i love it.
