      Well. Aspiring user, anyway.

        We all have to start somewhere. My first attempt lasted four months, when I was at uni. My second attempt was after I obtained employment, and then dedicated Colemak to my home machines so as to retain my 120 WPM with QWERTY when at work. And I’ve been going since.

        I did try to use Colemak on mobile, but with Swype-style input, the accuracy rate drops to almost nothing. Funny how Colemak being so efficient with the home row means that predictive text can’t be as effective.

              Did you accidentally remove the default upvote from your own comment?

                I intentionally remove it, as I prefer zero-based counters.

                  If I had a nickel for every time I’ve had this same conversation on Lemmy, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn’t an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
