I tried using a split keyboard at work for a while but I found that it was too difficult to use all the symbols and extra keys. I’m a programmer so I need to type brackets and colons and things constantly. I bet it would be pretty easy to get used to for someone who mostly types actual English.
Band practice, riding dirt bikes, doing homework, house work, playing video games, browsing Reddit before, now Lemmy. They always go so fast though…
I share your concern, there are so many niche subreddits that are the most active community for the given thing. Lemmy is awesome but it doesn’t seem to have that same consolidation power just yet.
I’m done with Reddit even if Lemmy doesn’t work out. I hope it does though. Even if there are barriers to entry and confusing aspects, there are definitely enough people out there to overcome them and keep this place interesting. I think social media needs to be more socialized.
