I REALLY don't want to join #Bluesky and love it here on the fedi.

Give it time. I don't remember when I started on Twitter, but I'm guessing I was over there roughly two years before Xitter happened.
Which is just about exactly how long I've now been on Fedi.
In the same time, I have 4.5 as many followers, FAR more engagement, and althogether a much more pleasant experience. (The big secret I discovered is following hashtags. Total game-changer.)

@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 amazing. Welcome and do reach out if you have any questions!

@dblack amazing. How is elixir from PHP? Do you enjoy it more or miss php
-
@codemonkeymike Linux nerd here.
I'm my experience, there are tons of people here that meet your requirements. Just takes awhile to build up a good following. Stick with mastodon. And you can always follow folks on bluesky from here.

@codemonkeymike Am dad, likes jokes, and runs Linux

@codemonkeymike blue sky is good except when it comes to its tech community. The fediverse is still the best place for that IMHO.

@codemonkeymike I do almost 0% web dev, but I'm a huge Linux/SysAdmin nerd. Feel free to follow!
-
@cavyherd @codemonkeymike +1 on the hashtags. I also like the depth of engagement people tend to have here compared to other platforms.
-
@codemonkeymike I love them both! On the web side of things, I can do stuff in Live view that I only dreamed of in PHP.
I'm just finishing up 3 months PHP work, and I've really enjoyed it too
-
@technikhil @cavyherd love following hash tags!

Mike, I have installed a few Linux distro in the past, and I really wanted to give Nixos a try today.
The interface install didn't complete initially because, regardless of which option I choose in the partition step, it either failed, or the installer had the "next" button grayed out.
Also, in the previous step, Unfree Software, documentation and tutorials show an additional dialog box; however, during my setup, that dialog was missing, and I just got a message that it failed.
I tried on two machines already, and it failed on both. I then switched to the manual installation, and that didn't fully work either, but at least it deleted tbe old partitions, and after restarting it, the interface installer worked, except for the unfree software step.
Kind of frustrating, but at least I got it up and running, and I also managed to make a few changes to the config file, rebuilt, amd rolled back and to the previous generation as a test.
I am still concerned about the unfree software step though.

@codemonkeymike I will undoubtedly benefit from checking those accounts of people who've replied.
-
@codemonkeymike Most of my bad code is still PHP (or Visual Basic!) but I haven't had a ton of time to code lately.
-
@codemonkeymike @benlockwood hello
-
@brettm @benlockwood followed thanks!!
-
@ocdtrekkie hahha php sure don't care how janky your code is.
-
@rick_d_freeman me too! This is amazing. So many great people I haven't seen before.
-
@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 I have honestly never seen this. And I've installed nix hundreds of times.
I made a few video walk thrus. I wonder what's not the same.

@dblack I image PHP feels like an old pair of blue jeans. Ain't fancy, but simpler times.
I'm agressively interested in liveview
