Could kill off desktop PCs
Linux has entered the chat.
I’m also finding it really effective. I only hate that backing out from a post is a crapshoot on whether it preserves my scroll position, resets to the top, or reloads the entire feed.
I was frustrated by certain aspects of how my team was run, so when that position became available, I applied for and moved into it, thinking I could make some changes that would make the team function better.
I did make some of those changes and they have helped, but I’ve also found it really challenging to carry responsibility for delivering things that I can’t work on directly. I used to solve problems by writing code; it’s much different to solve problems by coaching people.
I do have stronger relationships with my colleagues now, since I spend more time communicating with them vs. being head-down in code all the time, and that’s kind of nice, but I’m definitely missing the hands-on work
Looking at it on my desktop right now, I’m seeing everything I’d expect, for both local and federated communities. Most typically lately, I’m browsing on my phone, but that’s just hitting my instance directly via mobile Firefox, not using an app, so I can’t imagine that would have meaningfully different results.
Sounds most likely that this is just a perceptual thing where I’m not consciously realizing that communities Y and Z are posting way more frequently than community X, making me feel like I’m “missing” posts from X that are then trivially found when I go to X directly.
I’ll keep an eye out for this a bit more consciously for the next little while and see if that’s what’s actually going on.
