    I did start trying to prefer the Fedora flatpaks but the flatpak priority system doesn't seem to work. I have flathub 50 and Fedora 100 but it still chose flathub for the same version.

    Flathub's packages are usually more up-to-date. Sometimes ridiculously different.

    Then LibreOffice said that they're releasing on flathub/fedora not packaging so eventually I saw which way things are going and went with the flow.

    Came to Obsidian from Logseq without prior knowledge. Logseq was my first note-taking of any use. I had Keep but I didn't really use it, cos my data is in Google's clutches. I'm trying to degoogle.

    Logseq doesn't feel together like Obsidian does. I'm in my first month of use and I had to spend ages trying to understand how to take notes properly before I could even feel confidence about using it.

    Templates are a revelation. Dataview supreme. Front-matter a delight. If they exist in logseq they're hidden. The learning curve for Obsidian is brutal.

    I have around a thousand pages of mixed tags and links because it's not discouraged in Logseq and I have to undo that huge mess. The discord forums are not a good place to Google for help and there's nothing like obsidian.rocks or innumerable posts helping. There are lots of logseq YouTube fans and that's where I ended up looking, but I prefer the written word.

    Logseq was my learning phase but Obsidian is where I'll stay. I think Logseq needs the level of financial input that Obsidian gets. I'll have to live with the fact that it is not open source.

    I had disabled the non-open source packages in Fedora software so i didn't see Obsidian and only saw Logseq. It was a good experience and given my time again I would probably do Logseq then Obsidian, again. I wish I had seen the articles on how to take notes on Obsidian.rockd before I started Logseq.

    Make it look like a centralised system initially. Provide a portal to a pre vetted/chosen instance that is accepting new members in their locale/country, that is the same for everyone.

    Update: This (above) is badly written. I'm trying to say every potential new member gets presented with the same (pretend centralised) portal that is in fact an (valid long-lived) instance local to the individual potential for them to sign up with. So two local users in Oz get given a proxy to the instance local to them, and a user in Blighty an instance local to that person. The decentralised Lemmy looks centralised, but isn't. The proxy front end should explain that they're joining their local instance and it's like a network of little affiliated clubs that can see each others posts globally. they log in for the first time it will become clear.

    It's late, I'm tired, sorry everyone. Is that any better?

    I think it's confusing (the reverse of what they're used to) for a newbie who have been bought up in a centralised internet with single front ends of all the big players to be presented with little instances to join to access the whole.

    [Possible bug] Sharing a post to Firefox makes Voyager into Firefox, and I can't get back!

    Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on. However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon. Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please? Thank-you in advance UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳 I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice! Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

    Is there a community for instrument learners, particularly piano/keyboard?

    My early teen cousin is learning to play keyboard/piano. She likes to compose her own songs, and she's good at that, but perhaps could use some help with the basis rhythm. I thought that a book of rhythms might help. Something like this, but it's going to be the wrong era for her on the surface, although the rhythms repeat through the ages.
