So do i :) but i think helix is especially powerful with nix, for example. instead of having 5 compilers, lsps and such installed, you can create a nix flake for your project and it’ll install all that stuff for you. But for neovim you’d have to manually configure those LSPs in your config, so it is kind of just pointless anyway. But helix automatically loads all your installed LSPs, no config required. I love that about it, but neovim has grown on me.

Plus, helix’s keybinds are amazing, even better than neovims. God i miss it.

Immediately after you install helix, you can start working, no config required. It’s really nice.

It also has OOTB LSP, unlike in neovim where you have to setup manually for each installed LSP, helix just detects it. I also personally think it has better keybinds than neovim.

But it still doesn’t have a plugin system, and it’s quite opinionated. They’re both amazing, and great options. Just depends on what you want in an editor; customizability, or do you want it to just work.

Sorry, i didn’t notice.

This might help, it runs openvr games with openxr: https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR

i used it before, it works pretty well.

EndeavourOS is the closest to vanilla arch, so i’d recommend that. There’s no good distro for gaming, as long as the packages are up to date (so no debian) it’s perfectly fine.

Friendica is compatible with mastodon’s api, so you can use the mastodon app. That’s the only way i think of on iOS :/

You can also use the website as a PWA, safari has partial PWA support

That’s generally how all services start out, though. It sucks, but you can’t just wait for a platform to get big, you have to actually use it, you have to be the change you want to see.

A big advantage of federation too is that all platforms can interact with eachother; a user on mastodon can interact with this post on lemmy, an iceshrimp user can interact with users on bonfire; etc etc. Platforms on the fediverse have the advantage of not needing to start from scratch.

And, there is nothing stopping them from using facebook alongside friendica, i use redlib when lemmy doesn’t have a community i’m interested in, for example (although i definitely main on lemmy). we don’t have to completely stop from using a platform, both is fine :)

That’s what they’re doing, though? They’re leaving facebook, and looking for an corpoless alternative.

Friendica is probably the best choice. It’s the most popular with the most servers and users, and is explicitly designed to be like facebook, and uses Activitypub.

Pleroma, judging from the FAQ; strives to be more like twitter. And as for diaspora, it uses its own protocol, so i’m not sure if it can federate with software that uses activitypub.

Nah, they should make it Phoenician most European languages are descended from it, Including English. The true universal language.

As much as i love photon, i don’t think it should be the default. The default lemmy ui is pretty slick and lightweight, even if it is kind of bad. Photon can be sluggish, and overwhelming for some.

I think they should just improve the default UI (which they are currently), and leave it for the user to decide.
