One of the things that I like about lemmy (as a reddfugee and member for 3 weeks) is that you can see the amount of upvotes vs downvotes a post has, rather than the aggregate score. It makes sense to me to have them separate.

I’m using Memmy and the experience here is calmer and slower paced than reddit, as well as a better overall vibe. It doesn’t work as smoothly as reddit via Apollo, but I don’t feel I have lost anything.

 

This is Felix. Felix wants you to throw the stick. Throw the stick. Now, dammit.

 

Is this a problem at my end? I’m browsing via Memmy on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. New reddfugee, still trying to work some things out.

Normally a google search local to my area, or LinkedIn occasionally. A google search is my go to option, then read reviews, ask for references and get quotes

I’m responsible for appointing contractors for all types of work, including this.
I hire people I know or, if it’s a new area for me, based on recommendations from colleagues or my network. Only if I don’t know anyone and don’t get suitable recommendations do I look at the market and ask for quotes. People do business with people, not companies. I have used the same external IT team in my last 3 roles. I know that makes it difficult, but best bet is to build on existing relationships and forge new connections
