ErgoMechKeyboards
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
No Spam
No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

This is a good post and it's great that you're searching for ways to improve and optimize your experience on Lemmy... but to set expectations... Lemmy isn't as polished as reddit, it's not going to become so overnight, and if it does become more polished it's going to be because we each individually do things to make it so.
do you have links to some support communities, I have a few questions but not sure where to ask them or search for answers
https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support is a good one. Tag me in a comment on your first couple posts if you want and I'll help out if I can, I know a lot of the new user faqs at least... or I'll likely find it scrolling by new anyway.
