MODERATORS
To be fair, most people who want to install Linux will google "how to install Linux" and most likely will be pointed at the main Ubuntu distro.
All the more reason to call attention to an easily overlooked alternative, especially if it's able to serve a blind person's needs better.
Very true. Not a lot of outreach you can do on Lemmy, though. Still a pretty niche platform.
idk, the linux comms here are more helpful than the reddit ones imo. The people are roughly as active, and less hostile.
I agree, but what I mean is that Lemmy has a much smaller userbase. Most people don't even know about it.
EDIT: Also, the smaller userbase may itself be a reason for the more welcoming community.
While it has a smaller userbase, the nerds and linux users are more concentrated here, so there's still a lot of people who can help.
