A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It can appear identical, but doesn't function identical and requires a bit of research. There's a learning curve to how instances work, finding communities, etc. Its not hard, but it doesn't function like reddit does, most people expect a site where they can go to a website, punch in what they're interested in, and get results.
Lemmy is not hard to understand, but most people are just going to leave if it doesn't act immediately how they expect it to. But like I said, its fine. Its active enough here, and I hope it continues to grow, but its not going to rival a major website like reddit. I kinda like that though, this place reminds me of some niche forums I was active on 15 years ago.
