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?

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.

 

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.

Mormon missionaries go everywhere. I have met Mongolian mormons.

Moreover he knew this requirement going in. Who cares. Go to another school if you don't like the policies of the cult school

What of the purges, staration, and slaughter

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.

Some communities have always made it hard for Spring Breakers but I agree, momentum is building.

 

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

 

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?

 

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.
