Ok, I get that its about IT.
And in old leetspeek 7 = T.
So we have i^7 = iiiiiii.
That much is tortuous, but I can get there.
Why are there 12 Ts? Shits and giggles? I like shits and giggles.

I think you may be overthinking it a bit. Maybe the person who created it has a shitty keyboard

I like overthinking just as much as I like shits and giggles

Lemmy should allow aliases for communities so we could use eyetea

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooo. That's ugly. Way to go.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not known for the ability to name things well. Pray you'll never see my folder structure and folder/file names.

Can't be as bad as my boss. "server-01" Even that could be worse. I've worked with servers named Mothra and Godzilla, but I was not in the eyetea dept.

We had sql03 and sql04 when I started my job. Sql03 got replaced. So now we have sql 04 and sql05. You just need to know which database is on which server.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 2 points 2 months ago

Right. And you figure that out by who built the app. Oh, that was that one guy. He always used sql02. And then everything there was migrated to tho old NAS. And then the new CTO guy had us move it to S3. And then that other guy needed it, and we restored it to M$sQLExpress on the intern's desktop. So that's where its at now. Over there. In the corner. With the guy that doesn't get paid.

... Was it important?

Lmao serv-1 at my last job too!

Wait, it does? Or you mean the display name vs the actual community lemmy address?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh yeah, that's a neat feature.

I realize now that alias is not exactly what I meant: maybe a better word would be 'keywords' set for a community that could be used in lemmy search.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I mean that's exactly how the display names work.
You can search for either display name or address.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I meant more generally: a community could set a list of keywords that they could be found by, e.g. this community could have

  • memes
  • information technology
  • it
  • satire

so we could also have a keyword search possibly:

i suggested categories a few times, but i have no idea how to suggest it to devs. also i deleted my github account.

categories could later even be used to subscribe new usrers to lots of stuff they are interested in... or unsubscribe things you no longer like.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Voyager has something similar to that! "Community starterpacks" for new users:

A really cool feature and lowers the barrier for new users. But I agree would be neat if these things would be baked into lemmy somehow, like your categories idea.

In Voyager it shows up when searching for "iitt". Same on https://lemmyverse.net/.
