I hope Lemmy will become this. Here is my strategy:
- Create a Lemmy community (for example !automotive@discuss.tchncs.de).
- Submit something every few days. Not much quality control. Quantity over quality for now.
- Hope for a community to form.

Great idea!
At first I was bemoaning the lack of content here, but honestly if I'd posted this on Reddit, either it would get lost in the noise, or there'd be 50 comments taking the piss/laced with gatekeeping and sarcasm.
Everyone's being really helpful. I'm genuinely chuffed.
Thanks for reminding me to regularly upload. I've recently only been making posts that I have questions or something and not updates.
Have you tried hackernews?
I haven't but a cursory look tells me it's all bit too 'back end' for my comprehension! I'll keep having a look through though - thanks for the recommendation ๐
For on-line RSS reader, try https://www.inoreader.com . I love it. You can search for feeds right on the site, or can go to a specific site to look for a feed sign. For example, Lemmy has a feed URL right next the question mark on top, so you can read your Lemmy's subscriptions as a feed as well.
Duuuuude, I just set up an account. This is brilliant. Thank you so much for putting me on to this!
This looks to be exactly what I was looking for.
Go have a chocolate or a beer or something; you've earnt it!
Choco it is then ๐
Inoreader is awesome.
Oooh thank you, I'll look into this!
RSS feeds?
A looooong time ago I remember using Google reader (which I understand to be dead and gone). Do sites even use RSS anymore? How do you access them?
Almost all sites have an RSS feed...
https://rss.com/blog/ as some advice on finding them...
Even a lot of fediverse platforms e.g Mastodon have RSS ๐
Thanks! I guess I thought of them as part of a bygone era, likely because most of the sites I've worked on haven't had one.
Pretty sure all lemmy communities also have an RSS feed. Look for the icon at the top near the question mark.
Fediverse is probably an rss goldmine.
Good tip, thanks!
I use them for podcasts, is that the same thing?
Yes, they can be used for both!
What creators/websites about UI/UX are you following?
I'm not really, which I guess is the problem. LinkedIn is handy to follow people in my industry (particularly locally) as they will post things of relevance. But I kinda have to sort through all the wank, and 'here's my totally original take on what chatgpt means for us - in 23 slides of empty bullshit'. Twitter was good to a degree, but it's such a negative space and many people I followed left as things started to go bad.
I think the medium in which I consume this information is the key thing for me - I'm happy to read long articles and opinion pieces, but I need something I can easily scroll through on my phone.
Memes are fun and all but I'm pretty sure my brain is atrophying.
Yeah, I don't really know if LinkedIn can be saved. Being a "work instagram" the real content is really hard to find, and I'd rather scroll through stuff I'm interested in anyways than people who boast about how much incredibillion dollars they made using chatGPT.
There is a cute formulaic way active LinkedIn users frame every post.
Let me tell you about my motivational story. I overcame extreme difficties in order to achieve more for my career in two short weeks using the Bernard Technique...
Five paragraphs of heart wrenching guilt for the benefit of the company later and you're being sold a premium course to find similar fulfillment from your life and job!
