From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I quoted the contents of the Reddit post here so you don't have to.
That's cool. I can't seem to access it from this instance I'm on though? We are federated with lemmy.world.
So I tried https://feddit.uk/c/pop_os@lemmy.world - am I being an idiot?
It works from over here on kbin.social
You are not. Generally a search in the Communities list would be enough to sync it up. Something odd on that instance.
Maybe give it a while? Sometimes it takes a while to populate across servers.
I get the same issue when trying to access the community from there. https://lemmy.ml/c/pop_os@lemmy.world works fine though. And https://beehaw.org/c/pop_os@lemmy.world only synced the first few posts before they blocked it. If they haven't blocked lemmy.world, then perhaps their server hasn't synced with it in a while.
beehaw has defederated lemmy.world.
Really, how do I check on this? I'm on Lemmy.world and follow multiple topics on beehaw at the moment.
Relevant defederation thread (their reasoning is kinda bad imo)... https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Thanks for sharing this link. That clarified it nicely. I think its a bit odd considering they literally stopped approving new accounts at the same time as defederating. But again, they seem to have a clear vision in mind for all of this and that's fine. On the flip side, this disqualified them from any large support community that might want to migrate over as the reach is going to be limited. Mastodon has the same issue with people asking to defederate the main instance all the time...
It's not dumb. The current moderation tools were not enough for the mods to stop the incoming spam from lemmy.world. If things improve, they will de-defederate again.
but.. the modlog is public.. there wasnt a huge swathe of users banned or modded by beehaw
I may be wrong, but wasn't it a pre-emptive measure because they were afraid of the open registrations on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?
So basically, shit reasoning. They defederated because something might happen. A lot of things might happen. That's no reason to not do things in life.
I think you need to search for the community first on your instance to start the sync. So just paste the link into the search field (the search will probably come up empty), wait for a few seconds and then try to load the community.
I discovered that if the subreddit hasn’t been accessed from your instance before, then you have to copy and paste the link from the original instance into the search bar, then it’ll start showing that community
Here are a few links to the community (thanks System76!). Community links on Lemmy haven't been streamlined yet
- https://lemmy.world/c/pop_os
- https://lemmy.ml/c/pop_os@lemmy.world
- https://yourinstance/c/pop_os@lemmy.world
Happy to hear it
If you want to follow from within your instance search for this: !pop_os@lemmy.world the ! Is important.
Glad that you're going this route, just sub'd.
As a pop os and system 76 user this is awesome.
This is great to hear!
I may not have enjoyed using their distro, but I'm really happy to see this. They're really popular in the desktop Linux market and it may help to get more users over here in the Fediverse.
Oh my god oh my god oh ky god auto tiling by default? Ooooooh cooool. I'm so in. Gone are the days of endlessly experimenting with xmonad and never truly being happy with the results. (It's been a while though.)
