I’ve been working professionally as a software engineer for a bit over 20 years, and I was programming as a hobby for over a decade before that. Been in a number of different industries; you can find interesting problems to work on anywhere, but life for a programmer is always best at a company whose primary business is software.

Lemmy is written in rust.

I think it’s because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.

Yeah, there’s plenty that’s confusing. I also see that I can follow mastodon and calckey users from kbin, but they don’t seem to actually show up in my feeds.

I’m on kbin, and to sub to a community on a lemmy instance, I have to replace the ! with a @, because that’s the actual underlying name, it seems. It’s a bit confusing.

And I’m here from kbin. The beauty of the Fediverse!
