This was so powerful it causes me phantom pain through this post

Ah shit I’ve forgotten the ancient tablets, ill fix that thank you!

Hmm… Smells like a windows user aswell… Look at that:

.desktop

There is a draw.io extension for VS Code (like another comment mentioned, it looks like the main application is vs code), and the UI elements inside the open tab with grid looks like draw.io’s minimalistic dark theme.

Edit: yeah looks like it: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hediet.vscode-drawio

The screenshot you have in your post just has a different drawio theme than the default one. You can change the theme in settings of drawio.

Edit 2: Scrap that, it was proved to be obsidian based on LordeMostarda’s comment and answers below

Me too! And it gets better: it’s a gif

Seems also bit dead, but there is [email protected]

Yeah… I understand that we need to spread out more but honestly I think join-lemmy.org should not be the first stop for someone new to lemmy seeing the results you are getting. I agree with you Blaze, point them directly to an instance or an app.

Found this pretty cool that on the voyager for lemmy test web app you can specify the local feed of an instance: https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/local - although not sure if that is the best way to “market” lemmy, the local feed of lemm.ee actually looked nice.

That is interesting, I didn’t know that about modern reddit.

And I agree I hope that we do get something like that. I’ve been thinking for a while that merging https://lemmyverse.net/communities with instance specific account creation would be really cool, but it has just been a passing thought without much further thinking. I always recommend that link to new people on lemmy (also put it on my account description). But sadly it doesn’t have recommendations based on interests / geolocation, Although it does let you filter accessible communities based on your instance, but it could possible also have a tool “choose an instance for me based on my location / interests”.

Some personal thoughts:

about the content when you first open lemmy: I joined reddit some time around 2015 and it was not exactly the most welcoming experience with the type of content you see by default either. Still, I had seen smaller communities with cool content and I joined anyway and just learned to use it enough to tailor my feed. Lemmy becomes much nicer after awhile of hanging out and discovering new and cool communities!

In my personal opinion the “Link to specific instances and apps rather than just saying Lemmy” part is the most important. Fediverse IS confusing when you check it out the first time. It took me awhile to make an account because people kept telling to choose an instance that fits you. I know it sounds stupid but it really kept me away from making an account for awhile.

I instance-hopped a couple of times because I joined smaller instances (the recommendation everyone gives you) that then disappeared / were abandoned by the admin. That was not a very nice experience. I know lemmy.world is too big, but honestly it is a very easy and nice starting point to lemmyverse (so is sopuli!).

Also: really appreciate the effort you are putting into growing lemmy, Blaze!

Be aware, there are ways to use the dark arcane magic of the shadow trees and you can even attach shadow to a vessel host
