Ok, I get that its about IT.
And in old leetspeek 7 = T.
So we have i^7 = iiiiiii.
That much is tortuous, but I can get there.
Why are there 12 Ts? Shits and giggles? I like shits and giggles.

I think you may be overthinking it a bit. Maybe the person who created it has a shitty keyboard

Lemmy should allow aliases for communities so we could use eyetea

I'm not known for the ability to name things well. Pray you'll never see my folder structure and folder/file names.

Can't be as bad as my boss. "server-01" Even that could be worse. I've worked with servers named Mothra and Godzilla, but I was not in the eyetea dept.

We had sql03 and sql04 when I started my job. Sql03 got replaced. So now we have sql 04 and sql05. You just need to know which database is on which server.

Right. And you figure that out by who built the app. Oh, that was that one guy. He always used sql02. And then everything there was migrated to tho old NAS. And then the new CTO guy had us move it to S3. And then that other guy needed it, and we restored it to M$sQLExpress on the intern's desktop. So that's where its at now. Over there. In the corner. With the guy that doesn't get paid.

... Was it important?

Wait, it does? Or you mean the display name vs the actual community lemmy address?

Ahh yeah, that's a neat feature.

I realize now that alias is not exactly what I meant: maybe a better word would be 'keywords' set for a community that could be used in lemmy search.

I mean that's exactly how the display names work.
You can search for either display name or address.

I meant more generally: a community could set a list of keywords that they could be found by, e.g. this community could have

  • memes
  • information technology
  • it
  • satire

so we could also have a keyword search possibly:

i suggested categories a few times, but i have no idea how to suggest it to devs. also i deleted my github account.

categories could later even be used to subscribe new usrers to lots of stuff they are interested in... or unsubscribe things you no longer like.

You reached the end
