The community has been very calm and respectful so I’ve never really had to think about the moderation. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a deleted comment for example, and I’ve certainly never seen a hateful post or comment.

Other than that, the admin, db0 is quite left-leaning (or at least anti-capitalist), but so am I, so it never really bothered me.

To be completely honest, this is the only instance that I have an account in, so I can’t really compare it to the others, but it just felt like home to me.


When the reddit went bad I started looking for anti-corporate communities that would migrate.

r/cyberpunk was the first place I checked, but there was no discussion about migrating at all there. r/selfhosted was another obvious idea but people there seemed very reluctant as well.

The only sub that pointed to some clear migration path was r/piracy. I really appreciate the integrity of dbzer0 in this situation.


Thank you for the kind wodrs. Sadly I’m not looking for an app for myself but for my girlfriend.

I got my BA in the UK years ago, and I’ve made a fool of myself plenty of times, both culturally and linguistically. And you’re absolutely right, it really is the only way to properly learn a language.


If you’re looking for efficiency, nothing beats a static website.


You’re right. When you put it like that, calling it obscure sounds like an exaggeration. Though it’s probably one of the least spoken Slavic languages.


I fully agree with you about having real conversations with real people. The thing is, you need some confidence before being able to speak the language, especially to native speakers. And for some people that comes with a bit of practice by themselves. Thats what I find apps like Duolingo help with.


You see, one of the goals is to be able to enjoy media in English together. The problem is that she quickly gives up after encountering too many unfamilliar words or constructs.

Thats why I’m looking for an app to help her get a bit more confident.


That’s what we’ve been trying so far, but unfortunately it does not work for her.


Just took the test for myself and it looks very promising. Thanks!


I thought I shouldn’t doxx myself so much, but whatever. Our native language is Bulgarian.

An app to improve English?
I'm looking for an app or website to help my so improve her English. We looked at Duolingo earlier (as I've used it before for learning a bit of Greek) but it does not support English to English courses. This is a problem as our native language is as obscure as it gets. Do you have any recommendations? It would be awesome if the service was as gamelike as Duolingo. This is my first post on Lemmy, I hope I'm not in the wrong community.

I guess you can use wormhole to transport the data to your peer, and if you’re extra paranoid encrypt it asymmetrically with something like age.

Then again you can just encrypt it with age and send it over Signal. There should be no risk involved in sharing public keys even if you don’t trust their servers.


If you setup a community for pulsar, you have a guaranteed subscriber in me. And if you’re one of the devs I can’t thank you enough for your work.


I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.
