Hi fellow vimmers (and neo-vimmers).
Since “The Great Reddit Rebellion” I’ve found myself not wanting to go back to Reddit, together with Twitter blocking anonymous scrolling it was the push I needed to finally move to the Fediverse and get rid of corporate social media.
After a few days of being a nomad and trying different instances I found SDF and immediately felt home (I even opened a shell and became an ARPA member).
I am posting this here as I’m an avid (neo-)vimmer myself and the author of a few neovim lua plugins.
Something which irked me a bit on Reddit is the animosity between the vim and neovim subs, doesn’t make a lot of sense IMHO given we’re already a very small and niche community.
Would really love to see this place flourish and become the new home to both vim and neovim reddit refugees.
Content is important, I’m gonna try to do my part, in the meantime I’ve attached a link to a fairly popular vim cheatsheet, being the author I’m a bit biased but it’s pretty pretty good :)
To a decentralized, non-commercial internet, cheers!
I mean, can we really be truly human without pointless flame wars?
WHATEVER SOFTWARE YOU USE SUCKS! ONLY THE SOFTWARE I USE MAKES A PERSON A VALUABLE HUMAN! AAARRRGGGHHHhhhh...
P.S. https://xkcd.com/378
P.P.S. I object to the characterisation of vim as a small community. In my mind, which is obviously correct, vim is basically the ubiquitous text editor, and a few niche users use other editors.
P.P.P.S. thanks for the cheat sheet
I agree, perhaps better wording was in order, vim is very ubiquitous but people using vim/neovim as their daily driver and are enthusiastic enough to join communities and discussions about the subject, based on my anecdotal experience, are a small subset and somewhat “niche”.
Sorry, that should have read:

I rushed to reply, read your comment again after and understood my own whoosh :)
