This is exactly how I learned all those years ago, and to this day, I still use vim regularly. As in, literally, I was using it on a server this morning to make some changes. It's just become natural to me now.
IMO it’s fine to just make a post about it in one of the larger communities that seems appropriate. Now is exactly the time for us to promote one another! And Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm, so you’re going to have to do some leg work to get the word out. I think people will be appreciative and understanding of that, I would be.

I was riding my bike a few weeks ago and came across this couple parked in their old MG, watching the sun set. They allowed me to take a few pictures of them. Wish I hadn't cut off the back part of the car in the composition, but alas.

(Also I know this is my 3rd upload in the past couple of days, but I'm trying to help get this community going!)
I want Lemmy to succeed, I want to be optimistic about it as an alternative to Reddit, but OP is correct, and we need to be honest about this very simple fact:
The Reddit we knew and loved is gone, and that’s a sad, tragic thing, and there likely won’t be a 1:1 replacement for a long time, if ever.
It’s okay to admit to ourselves that this whole situation sucks, because it absolutely does. That doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy Lemmy and other federated things like it, and it doesn’t mean that federation doesn’t have advantages over Reddit, but let’s be honest: most of us were happy at Reddit, using our favorite 3rd party app (like Apollo), and we wouldn’t be here if the admins weren’t happy to kill what we once loved.
All we can do is try to make the best of it.
Juniper for R/S, Palo for firewalls. At home I use pfsense and UniFi APs and in that environment they’re great.

These kinds of monsters are totally cliche, but even as a veteran horror fan and late-30s male, this one still creeped me the fuck out. Anyone else?
Supposedly Valak first appears in The Lesser Key of Solomon: https://allthatsinteresting.com/valak
Solomon features King Solomon of Old Testament fame who was renowned for his wisdom. At some point around the second century B.C., the idea spread that the king’s realm of knowledge had also included certain secrets of astrology and magic. The grimoire bearing his name lists the 72 demons that the king supposedly vanquished during his reign, providing readers with their names and instructions for expelling them should they come in contact with such spirits themselves. Valak, which is sometimes also spelled Ualac, Valu, Volac, Doolas or Volach, is the 62nd spirit listed in Solomon, according to which he “appeareth like a boy with angels wings, riding on a two-headed dragon.” His special power, according to the text, is finding snakes and hidden treasures while leading an army of 30 demons.
I don’t believe in any of that and I’m not at all religious, but it’s creepy and interesting to me anyway!
I like that Lemmy and Masto don’t have those fucking algorithms. It’s a relief.

I'll admit that it looks cool, but man...I just have a hard time seeing how that could possibly be functional.
