Hello everyone, I’m one of the developers of TROMjaro Linux and have been involved in the FOSS world for sometime now. Now I’ll be honest I’m not really a big forum user personally, I mainly created this account to post a technical guide I wrote about a specific problem I had and how I solved it - I couldn’t find information about it anywhere else so I wanted to contribute back to the community by sharing this guide. I have already posted the guide on my Friendica account which you can read here but the formatting on that platform looks kinda bad. So I wanted to post it here for better formatting and also for better discoverability so that people can actually find my guide when they need it. Problem is that when I tried to post the guide here I was stopped by this error:
An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put 2 links in a post.
I understand this restriction was likely put here to prevent spam but if the mods would be kind can you please help me out?
Hi @rokosun ,
We would like to see your guide posted.
Unfortunately the 2 links rule for new users is built in… I can not bypass it.
What you will have to do is wait. After you have been an active user for some time, the restriction will be removed.
If you really want to do it now, remove the links by putting them inside a markdown code box… people will be able to see the reference but it will not be clickable. I do that myself sometimes… it makes it more like a printed document instead of hypertext.
That is actually a good suggestion @Manuel_Jordan, I will look into that. Not sure why I never thought of posting this to a git forge before, I guess in my mind they were more associated with code repos rather than technical guides… But now that you mention it I do remember seeing a lot of Github “gists” when I look for information online regarding tech stuff, not sure if Codeberg has a similar thing but I’ll try to post there if possible. If nothing else even a simple git repo with a README file would still be better than my Friendica post I think.
