Interesting!

I have been using chezmoi for dotfile management (including nixos config) but I will check out fossil.

https://lemmy.ml/post/1205713

r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol

I am on both and kbin seems less active.

Perhaps the numbers are counted different?

lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.

Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.

There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.

There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.

https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.

Lemmy go brrrrr

ahhh thank you!
