Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    You can open an issue and say exactly that

    [–] shadow@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 9 months ago

    Yep, and if it becomes a frequent request, add clarification to the readme / wiki / documentation.

    Also, if you push folks towards issues, then they become indexable by search engines! So even if you have a solved problem you can at least find that... Discord? It's a black hole.

    And then get it insta-closed withing 20 minutes saying that "this is a problem with your setup, not the software" even when "my setup" was literally setting up their project using their documentation (docker compose files).

    That is how developers treat people with questions that they deem "stupid."

    It turns out their documentation was wrong and some environment variable that they said was optional, was not actually optional and the service would go into a reboot loop without it. I figured that out no thanks to the devs.

    Update your issue with a pull request fixing the documentation. When you're doing things on github, 99.999% of your audience is the general public, not the maintainer, because they will find your issue and solution through search engines.
