Whenever you like, honestly. It’s mostly a nice acknowledgment to the poster that you appreciated their post. Unlike commercial social media it’s not sending out anything to your followers that you interacted with it (at least last I checked).

I think many people boost more than favorite because it functions a little similarly in regards to acknowledgment, with the bonus that it helps share the post to others which is even more relevant in federated networks than on centralized platforms.

OpenRSS is a cool site that aims to produce RSS feeds for sites without them at no cost (some conditions apply, e.g. no account-walled/paywalled sites may be requested).

There’s also the Feedbro add-on for Firefox (and other browsers) that can be used to check if a website has a RSS feed buried somewhere to add to your reader.

If you’d like to keep up with some non-commercial music, you could check out the Editor’s Picks from ccMixter. Here’s the direct feed link.

In case of follow-up questions:

• Mobile Apps: personally I’m mostly using Feeder on Android these days. I like to be able to see a lot of feed entries at once and this works best for me. I’ve tried apps like Read You and Nunti, but they weren’t showing as much as I wanted.
  • Worth noting though, Nunti may be worth trying for its unique feature that tries to adjust your feeds to surface articles/entries that may be of more interest to you with offline systems.
• Desktop/laptop: I’m still sort of searching on this one. For the moment I use Thunderbird, but it’s not RSS-focused so it’s more than I want from a reader.

Was thinking the same and you can.

Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.

Also if it’s not that, it may be related to account language settings. Same deal, go into settings under profile/account and check that you have undetermined selected along with any other languages you want to be able to see.

Edit:
Almost forgot, to select multiple languages you’ll have to hold Ctrl and click each one in the Web UI (I think probably Photon as well).

No, sorry. To put it in your terms Lemmy would be a “platform” like how you describe Mastodon/Pixelfed.

The reason I suggested mentioning feddit.org instead is because it’s what you’re using and where someone else could sign up and join easily.

Mentioning Lemmy (or Mastodon/Pixelfed) doesn’t tell people any site to sign up on, just what tech they’re built with.

Focus on making posts you want to discuss or would want to see in communities that interest you and you want to see active.

While I’d argue it’s better to shake off the platform thinking, the simple way to put it would be that you simply refer to the site you’re using, feddit.org, when mentioning it to others. The umbrella term for these connected sites is either fediverse or the open social web, whichever you prefer. Each site like this connects with one another, but given formatting differences (Pixelfed is more image-focused, Mastodon is microblogging), posts shared between them try to display in ways fitting one another’s format which can sometimes look rough.

You may see content from these other sites when browsing the main feed/front page set to All, which displays content from elsewhere that others on your site (feddit.org) have subscribed to.

May want to cross-post this to [email protected].

You may want to be a little clearer. Are you after a mix of the old style Reddit interface alongside what RES added?

If so I can’t remember what RES added, but I gather it’s enough that the old style frontend may still feel lacking and the others aren’t scratching that itch either.

There’s also this:
https://frontpage.fyi/

Not sure which of the two has been around longer, but looks like frontpage is also pretty slow going.

Technically it may be, in terms of library.

However there are a few alternatives to look into that, while not matching the scale of their library, still have enough to consider.

For older anime there’s Retrocrush, which offers a fair amount of shows to watch for free (but with ads), no account required. Some are only accessible with an account and via subscription, however.

Interestingly though, some of those shows are available on other services no subscription required, like Tubi or Pluto.

Speaking of, it turns out Crunchyroll apparently cut a deal with Pluto, so there’s a Crunchyroll channel on there where you can catch some of their anime freely (again, with ads though). Besides that there’s also a separate anime channel and a few dedicated marathon channels to more popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc.

There’s also lower amounts still to be found on the other general streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, but it obviously doesn’t fully compare.

Also while not newer and their library is way smaller, for some anime movies you might see if your local libraries offer digital services like Hoopla or Kanopy. With those you may be able to check out some great anime movies.

Try to learn more, focus on creative/constructive approaches or outlets (not necessarily artistic in nature, but may be).

Sometimes I’ll read into history for something or other and find myself mildly amused and sort of relieved to see how familiar the accounts are. Of course it would be better if they weren’t so familiar, but it goes to show things aren’t freshly awful. It’s a lot of the same old garbage we’ve yet to effectively deal with, same as ever, but we have been dealing with it.

In other words, I try to take steps to regain perspective to recognize there’s as much, if not at times more, good to experience than bad, and even if I struggle to find much good, I can try to make my own sort of good to keep myself going.

Your ignorance means it was shiny and new to you, and that’s okay!

The racing games that let you do almost all the silly things!

[email protected] other link to make it easier for others to visit and subscribe to!

More like reply to posts without regard for its host community. In other words, context collapse where the community is the main context.

Oh! I mistook it as a continuation of the general store example, as I haven’t been to a physical IKEA store (there aren’t any all that nearby).

Today I’m learning many little things! (Some stuff going on so between here and watching Attenborough documentaries.)

Do they give snack-sized bags to put shopping into?

Because small.

Standard sized writing utensils, if I had been prompted to.

I phrased it to read as a joke at a glance, but it’s genuine! I’ve never gotten into any form of golf.

If I have it was so long ago I completely forgot, or may have been too young to remember.
