I’ve just found out that some Lemmy web interfaces let you sign in with multiple accounts and switch between them easily. Is there any client that can show notifications from all accounts at the same time, so I don’t need to switch back and forth?

I’ve checked out Voyager, Photon, Alexandrite, and Tesseract. They all seem quite similar to me. Which one would you recommend?

I'm looking for active federated communities on the fediverse where users share tips, tricks, and best practices for using the command line. Something similar to the Arch Linux forums but accessible through the fediverse.

I've checked out a few communities like Command Line@lemmy.ml (1.47K subscribers) and Command Line@programming.dev (2.09K subscribers), but they seem to have many subscribers but no active users per month. It feels like Lemmy smothers these niche communities somehow.

Does anyone know of other active federated communities or instances where command line enthusiasts gather to share knowledge and help each other out?

Right now, Lemmy only lets you pick one language to see and forces you to manually choose a language every time you post. Because of that, most posts end up marked as “undetermined,” so filtering by language hides most content.

It would make more sense if:

• You could set multiple preferred languages to view posts and comments.
• You could set a default posting language instead of picking it every time.
• The initial language settings were auto-filled based on browser or system language.

This would make the language functionality much more useful.

Wouldn’t it make sense for Forgejo to encrypt private repositories so users could safely include sensitive data like logs, histories, or even login configs?

For example, I currently exclude things like my Zsh history in .gitignore in my dotfiles repo. If private repos were encrypted, I could just commit everything and sync my full setup between machines without relying on Syncthing or other tools.

Is there any plan or reason why Forgejo doesn’t encrypt private repos this way?

Someone asked me how to install Matrix on Android, so I told them to search for Element on the Play Store, but the app there looks scammy. It’s listed as "Element X — Secure Chat & Call" by New Vector Limited, with 4.4 stars and only 644 reviews. Is that the right app?

I installed Element from F‑Droid, but I don’t want to tell someone to install more than one app just so we can communicate.

Updating: Using that package there was an "Unexpected error: Missing CSRF cookie"

I’m curious which software design principles you find most valuable in real projects.

Two concise summaries I’ve found:

• Clean Code by Robert C. Martin
• A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout

I enabled the “Show Upvote %” option and turned off all the other score-related settings, but now I don’t see anything next to posts where the total score usually appears. Some comments show the percentage, but not in the spot between the vote arrows where the score normally is. I’d expect the upvote percentage to appear for every post and comment in place of the total score, but instead it only shows up as a tooltip when hovering over the arrows. Is this the intended behavior or a bug? Also, is it really necessary to display so many decimal places in the tooltip?

I wish Lemmy let you follow or block entire websites. I’d follow Al Jazeera, France24, 404 Media, and a few local papers from my country so my feed isn’t just US news. I’d probably block most US national outlets.

What sites would you follow or block?
