5 tips for beginners to help them to start coding
The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma whore.

This is a FAQ but is there a summary like this:...
Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it’s pretty much exclusively a user from there....
I’m not into the idea of centralizing all of the communities on one of two instances so am always trying to find new instances. Earlier I stumbled across lemmememes.com but it appears to be broken and is in fact running outdated software, so now I’m trying to find something like lemmy.love or just a general memes or love...
