hey beeple! I didn’t quite know what to title this, I apologize.
feeling a bit insecure about what would be interesting to post about here on beehaw. so, I thought I’d ask, what kind of posts interest you in the communities you’re involved in?
I personally like to learn a lot of things (provided I’m interested in the topic! school was not great for that) and like to learn from other people. for example, I’m recently dipping my toes into linux, and I’ve started doing things with self hosting (also linux…) as well as trying out new video games and such. I don’t have many people to talk about these things with, so I’d like to turn to beehaw for this, but wanted to see if people are generally discouraged by seeing if 1) the same person is posting a lot of topics and 2) that person is a newbie to what they’re posting about most of the time.
I know I can’t “win it all” per se and have everyone enjoy that kind of thing. just wanted to post a general feeling out thread of how people feel I guess? I came from reddit (unfortunately) and am still trying to grasp what a community like this is open to. since my experience on reddit was not great.
I do want to post some other things and get feedback and possibly stir up discussion if that ends up happening! I’m trying to participate hahaha.
as an additional question, somewhat related, but is there a new hobby you’ve recently gotten into?
I think there’s always interest in more technical posts on beehaw/lemmy
One thing personally I would like to see is more “Ask reddit” style posts. It was interesting to see what different people had to say.
I had a lot of responses to one of my more recent posts asking about linux distros, which was really nice and interesting to see what people said. I’ll keep that in mind for future posts, thank you for the reply!
what kind of discussion do you like to see?
Ones that are respectful and kind.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. My unsolicited advice would be to engage with the subject matter that interests you the most.
it’s not honestly a beehaw issue, if that helps! I’m just a very anxious and insecure person in general, and I very rarely have engaged in online spaces. beehaw has been the first place I’ve felt safe enough to start trying to, after a series of bad discord servers.
y’all have a lovely place here, and I’m happy to be along for it!
The administrators of Beehaw, my self included, are interested in helping people such as your self. We hope to curate a space online where people feel safe. Especially underprivileged and minority individuals. On the 22nd of this month you will be a one year old Beehaw user and we are happy that you are here.
thank you so much!
I really appreciate the admins for making such a good space. and for you saying that, I really enjoy being here. I’ll be making some new threads soon!
I personally am interested in seeing more of wild theorycrafting.
for video games, I assume? correct me if I’m wrong! if so, I really enjoy seeing people do off the wall stuff myself, even if I’m not terribly good at it anymore. I’ve been delving into Caves of Qud recently and seeing videos of people doing different builds is really cool.
I like videogame lore theorycrafting like r/TESLore but real life theorycrafting is fun, too. You would see it sometimes on r/DankChristianMemes, r/Stoicism, and lots on r/etymology. r/C_S_T was devoted to it.
I am also a fan of Linux so that is something I would like to talk about. Also non commercial gamedev I like the old days where people just experimented and made games for fun community gamejams to see what other people made regardless of skill level.
I’m recently dipping my toes into linux
welcome aboard :) Linux communities sometimes tend to be a bit “elitists” but they always try to help so don’t be afraid to ask even if you think it is a stupid question, 99% of people had the same problem in the past probably
as an additional question, somewhat related, but is there a new hobby you’ve recently gotten into?
Plants, i do not why but working with plants is very relaxing
ps. it’s my first post on beehaw :)
welcome to beehaw!!
thank you for letting me know. reddit was my first exposure to linux communities and I did get that vibe. but people have been nice here (even when I was talking about my “baby’s first self hosting” experiences) and I appreciate that the community is usually good about answering questions. as soon as my desktop is back and functioning, I’m going to be installing a dual boot with linux and windows 10.
what kind of plants are you working with? I have a couple of my own, and I’ve found the planting and gardening community here very friendly too. I currently have lavender (most recent addition), aloe and haworthia.
Thank you :)
I have some random succulents and cacti people gifted to us or born from cuttings (aloe and haworthia too) but my favorites are carnivorous plants, they are very strange and particular. Unfortunately here there isn’t a real gardening community (especially about carnivorous plants) so I’m trying with online communities, mainly on facebook. Some years ago my parents had lavender and they used to dried it and put it in small paper bags in the wardrobe as perfume, it’s very nice
Go ahead!
Less experienced is fine. Questions is how chat and discussions start.
Beehaw has too little content. Be bold and post.
In both cases after inspiring Videos, I bought good cheap:
- Mini MIDI piano thing with a Joystick for modulation
- Knife sharpening utils
In-game photography. It’s something that doesn’t seem covered on Lemmy yet. But Linux works too. Hope to see you posting that fastfetch with an Arch logo soon
