Any #Pleroma/#Akkoma users out there who have had any luck with the #bitlbee integration, or any other way of #IRC bridging?
I used bitlbee-mastodon on Mastodon before, but it breaks on Pleroma because of streaming API incompatibilities. There seem to be an open issue on Pleroma too which apparently hasn’t been actioned in years.
@zimpenfishsuggested here to use the native Bitlbee identica plugin, but I haven’t had any luck with that either.
Is there anyone currently working on these issues, or who has any alternatives at hand, before I try and do some more debugging myself?
It’s not a matter of quick learning. If that were the case, GUI is a clear winner. It takes more time to learn a text-driven UI. But the learning curve pays off. You invest more time learning but the reward is reaching a point where you’re much faster than a mouse allows. I started off using gnusocial from a browser then transitioned to #bitlbee, after which I could search, read, and react faster than in the GUI. Same for Mastdon. Sometimes I’m forced into the Mastodon GUI because of something being unimplemented, in which case the loss of speed is apparent. Just like in the 90s, the keyboard is still faster than the mouse.
BTW, I used a DVORAK keyboard for years. I never measured my speed difference but I think it slowed me down overall because there were moments where the brain would drift into QWERTY mode (and vice versa on a QWERTY keyboard), and the speed difference w/out drifting seemed negligible so I ultimately settled back on a QWERTY keyboard.
No Debian Lemmy clients yet?
