What platform you on?

[-] devdad@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely this. I run a home lab, six servers, and I use Synology Photos because it’s so much better than the self hosted alternatives.

Right. I personally struggle with a lot of the “terms” these days - not because I think they are wrong, only because I don’t always understand what they mean.

On Reddit, when I saw them used, I would ask for clarification and I’d learn something.

Being dismissive to people trying to learn isn’t going to bring them into the ally space.

So somebody wanted to broaden their understanding by asking a simple question and you decided to be a dick?

Maybe they didn’t have time to read the article and thought somebody would help.

I did end up creating an account, but I’m not sure about posting my handle here as I want to keep the things separate (especially as I’m using my name on mastodon).

Aha! Sounds like we just have different definitions of “content creator”, that just sounds like a normal account to me.

This was probably just me confusing things =]. I used to post all my blog posts etc on Twitter, but I have no intention of doing that on Mastodon. I didn't spend enough time ensuring there was a distinction between the two platforms.

Fyi it’s also a custom to make an intro post when you join, tag it with #introduction and just let people know what to expect from your account. Load it up with the relevant tags so people watching them find your account, it’s usually a good way to kick things off and get some initial followers.

Ah ok, thanks! I have already started posting but I'll do that anyway. Thanks :)

Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!

No worries! It was just an instance of Lemmy (same way that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are different instances).

Rather than rely on someone else, I am thinking of just spinning up my own as I already have a home lab / know how to look after stuff etc etc

I assume this one? https://lemmy.ml/post/1855875

Edit: it’s mostly people assuming they lost the domain. I’ve seen nothing confirmed yet.
