We have archived the Dot -- because we have something better now

The Dot has served the KDE Community well as a the source of news for all our projects and contributors.

But, as KDE has grown, the amount of news has grown with us, to the point it has become impractical to filter it all through one source.

Check out our solution:

Time to increase exposure to Planet by putting in above the Dot in the footer. It would also be ideal if there was a way to expose people to Planet without scrolling the site, so we can show the vibrancy of the KDE Community to newcomers :)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I disagree with that, but I understand the reasons. I hope this new path accomplishes the mission of being a good news source for KDE.

Why are you @'ing random communities in a comment? I didn't think that does anything?

[-] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 2 months ago

I think they're replying through Mastodon, which tags users automatically.

Awesome, thanks, still weird though.

Yeah, Lemmy/Mastodon integration is a little janky sometimes
