Exactly. For now, it’s main focus is to only move configs to the dotsdir (since stow throws a conflict when there’s already something in place), let stow create the symlink and push it to git.

on a remote mashine, however, you still need to handle conflicts yourself. but it’s also mostly intended for fresh installations, or where you don’t mind just rm -rf the existing config

Oh right… thx for the hint. It’s indeed German, and I usually write it as machine or mashine, when writing in English. This time I was just unfocused 😅

Exactly… but it still adds some overhead, which I’m honestly not a huge fan of.

At the end of the day, I want a single directory, where I can symlink the files and folders into their appropriate places, and share them across multiple machines, all that, without digging too deep into the tool, especially when I frequently update things, like a neovim config, etc…

And stow, paired with git, does exactly what I need. I only made some “aliases” to simplify the workflow.

I tried chezmoi, and wanted to love it… but I just can’t. IMHO, it’s complicated, which is why I built this one.

Reddit took the time to get these communities going…

Sure! But, in this case Lemmy is literally a federated copypasta of Reddit, like Madtodon is of X.

Therefore, I think Lemmy is already a few steps ahead, due to the existing familiarity how communities/subs are supposed to be used.

So it’s not we’re starting from scratch… It’s just getting rid of the annoyances of Reddit.

Take Mastodon/BlueSky as an example. People are already familiar withbthe concept of how to use it.

yeah… it was literally all over Reddit. I also remember the lemmy vs. kbin discussions.
