Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Using it to type this comment. Looks great and can see the potential.

One thing, when typing comments, can we have shortcuts to do links/quotes etc. Unless you know the markdown syntax you are stuck.

All in all. Good stuff

Maybe it is a new feature but I am also typing this comment with it and I can select from quite a few markdown options

This thread was retrieved via lemmy.world. You are not logged in there

I thought one account in any instance is enough and thats how lemmy works. Why do I have to sign up on all these individual instances to comment?

There is a difference with adding an instance and accessing it that way (via their API - bypassing the server you signed up on) and via federation using the server you signed up on. Only in the latter case can you vote using the account already registered.

Try using the search feature to access the community via federation (e.g. "[email protected]") rather than adding the instance directly.

An account on one instance lets you interact with all other instances, but only via that instance, not directly. You are probably viewing the "All" feed via an instance you are not signed into. Try this:

Select "all" for the instance you are logged in for, for example I am logged in via Lemmy.fmhy.ml:

Why do I get no posts if I choose Everything > subscribed?

Edit: just updated and this option seems to have gone

I think this whole situation is going to cause a GPLv4. I hope it does so that this shit can't be pulled on a technicality.

How does it deal with instances on 0.18 vs 0.17? Can it do both?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Both Work for me
