What is the best way to collect and store links to sites I read once or twice a month? (lemmy.world)
 

Problem statement: I have a bunch of links to sites that update infrequently (think monthly or quarterly magazines) and I want to remember to go read them when they've updated.

RSS isn't a great solution since almost all sites spam out constant low-value content which I'd prefer to not be bombarded with - I just want to see the main updates, similarly to how I'd have received a magazine in the mail, in the past.

The basic answer here is just keep a list of links and remember to click them, and that's what I do, but it feels like there could be a better solution...

How do you handle this?

Why do they say "there's no true Left in the US"? in c/[email protected]

It also funnels down to freedom from bureaucracy too. Look at how hard it is in many places to legally build a non-fancy home on your own property. Endless restrictions, regulations, permits and inspections. Nobody is trying to free us from this.

What would your angle be? I feel like even with Portal 2, they were starting to exhaust the really cool possibilities

Have you ever tried Kagi? It's pretty interesting and I'm giving it a shot.

Forums were great but the friction to find and join new ones was very high.

What is a good place to get multiple single-use email addresses? (lemmy.world)
 

Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I'm not comfortable with how much I use that.

Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Right, why would I bother with the reddit IPO? IPO pricing is all over the place. If I want it - I don't - I'll buy it day 1.

They reject being labeled by the left, it's the same how the left doesn't like "woke" any more.

Why does the film press talk so much about box office income? in c/[email protected]

If these movies did not make money, they would not get made. Maybe other types of movies would get made, and maybe they'd be better, but the big budget movies that do get made are to make money.

Start trying Linux now using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It's a great way to dip your toe in the water, and your computer can run it today.

What's the last significant new idea or philosophy you heard about and thought was really interesting? (lemmy.world)
 

I don't mean an application of technology. Or a specific fact. I'm interested in more big picture things.

Is there a lemmy commuity for moderate political discussions? in c/[email protected]

Whatever most people in real life would say is moderate.

How does lemmy differ from reddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Cool. Can I ask you one more question? Can I comment on Beehaw (or lemmyNSFW, but I'm at work so not going there right now) using this account I have at lemmy.world? The reason I ask is, I see that I can comment on other lemmies (e.g. lemmy.ml) using this account, but only if I find them through lemmy.world's communities|All tab. But I don't see Beehaw there.

Or more basically, in general for another instance running Lemmy, how do I access it using this account at lemmy.world?

Thanks so much...

How does lemmy differ from reddit? (lemmy.world)
 

Here are some specific questions.

  • Are the upvotes and downvotes I make, private? If I report a comment, is my report private?

  • Can someone follow me across lemmy instances based on my username?

  • If I want to make a community, is there a reason I would choose one lemmy over another?

  • Are the powers of moderators similar to reddit's?

  • Where can I find a list of most active lemmy instances?

  • Any other differences from reddit I should know about?

Is there a lemmy commuity for moderate political discussions? (lemmy.world)
 

Basically I'm looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there's not as much venting.
