An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

What is the current thinking about what platform Beehaw should be on? Stick with Lemmy or try something else? (beehaw.org)

I'm sticking with Beehaw, thanks to some awfully crap communities (courtesy of Lemmy) showing up in the 'all' feed. I'm continually blocking them, but somehow they'll be back a few days later.

And before you scream at me to 'stick to subscribed', how else am I supposed to find interesting content?

I know that I'm not going to want to see a lot of subs, I understand that.

Just don't want them back once I've (supposedly) blocked them.

I know it's an issue that possibly only affects me, but if Beehaw jumps ship from Lemmy, the crap will be a lot easier to manage.

That's my €2 anyway.

YMMV

There is a search function, just search for what you're interested in and subscribe to the community.

I keep using Beehaw between Subscribed and Local, not touching All with a ten foot pole. As far as concerned, federation is for people to come to Beehaw, or for me to go to a few hand picked external communities.

I've just looked at search with my desktop - so much easier, and more features, than on phone, which is what I was using before.

Thank you!

Have been through that - sometimes 'All' throws up something interesting.
