I don't think they are all fine. My feed is almost empty. I'll go hours without a new post. Not just new stuff, but old stuff, too. I've got a single post in Star Wars ever. Zero gonewild posts in days. Even politics and news (on various instances) are barely seeing any posts. But they see a few.
I guess I'm sticking it out for now, but Lemmy has become an absolute ghost town for me with nothing to do and no one to talk to.
I think job postings are better in indeed, but tbh >75% I've gotten in pretty much my whole 25+ year career has been through a recruiter. Dice.com used to be big for tech jobs back in the day but I'm not sure any more.
As a SSE, mostly I have recruiters hitting me up through linked in. This is also a really bad time. I've been back to work for about a month after 5 months of not finding anything. That's the worst drought I've had in almost 15 years. Usually it's < 1 month.
Be seriously prepared about cloud. It's so anyone fucking wants right now. I'm a damn good Java/js developer, but I'm still learning the tech stack and I haven't touched a line of code yet in this job. Everything has been configuration and pipelines. I feel more like devops than developer.
