I'm not saying "don't". Just don't exclude me in the process

I want to see some nice electronics projects

Looking at how the few electronics communities I subbed operate, I think that might be even quieter Fediverse. Unless one is a content creator and lives off monetization of DIY content, projects most often take a long time to "tick", putting together an update, so it is understandable outside of your shed, takes a lot of effort and it would require quite a few tinkerers choosing to post instead of tinkering to have a flow of posts about projects

whatever someone who lives in LA thinks minus(!) the common politics spin on it. Or have them talk about their hobbies and discover a great recipe or whatever hardware to buy for my smarthome that's recommended by word of mouth.

Have you tried Mastodon? To me this sounds exactly how I felt on tag-based apps (and why I'm thinking of deleting the account - yes, we are different :) )

I suspected they were doing that

Can I take off my tinfoil hat now?

I'm from the other side. I like the fact that I can use Fediverse as one big river of news from multiple sources. PieFed's feeds are a great feature for those. While I value comments, I use them on a rather shallow level. To me, those are rather opinion points, same as the articles. Personally I don't believe a discussion can change someone's POV. It's rather exposition to other POVs that does the job in the long term. We can agree to disagree on that point. And in my opinion, exchanges on the internet rarely are a real discussion in the first place. To me, discussion is when both sides come to the table with "my mind can be changed" attitude.

I'm not against having "discussion only" spaces on Fediverse. I just want to signal that there are here those for whom a community with a lot of posts and minimal comment exchange is not a failure

As to voting, IMO those are exactly what those are - meaningless internet points. In my headcanon a post receives vote up if it matches what particular community is about. If we didn't have them, there would soon be request to have them. Once we have them, there's no way to globally enforce their meaning

Woah, magic! :)

Now I wish we could cross-post comments too

I don't know the proper name but how about using tag hierarchy?

group1/file1.md

    
#2025/05/01  
  

  

group1/file2.md

    
#2025/05/10  
  
  

That way, if you open virtual file (it does not exist on drive) 2025/05 you see both files in references

To mark thing as done, change the tag to DONE/2025/05/01

Wine can work in a pinch but I wouldn't rely on it

In this case I would say the other way round. Proton works in a container, so getting to the sound interface for example might be harder than just using Wine
