I completely understand and respect your opinion, but I just disagree on a personal level - and I think there is a very valid compromise to still achieve this, by redirection. It would obviously suck a lot for people who just want to find information, so they can still get it. Just take them away from reddit

Like most of us probably, I exclusively used reddit for finding information about literally anything. Google search algorithm is straight hot garbage it's embarrassing lol

If we want other non-corporate owned thread-like platforms to be successful and for reddit to "not get away with this" I personally think this has to be done. Otherwise it's just still a free database of information that we as the users provided for free, and reddit will continue to profit off of. It's my personal stance on it, but I think it's not right, and I believe the extreme majority of people either won't or won't know how to use reddit as a search engine without giving them profits

My solution is to rewrite all of my comments, but for anything that I provided a solution for (or guide), I will redirect them to the same information, but not on reddit. For example, I wrote a full blown returning player guide (like 18 pages) for the game Vindictus, so I'm moving it to google docs. I will inform the discord, in addition to linking the google doc on the reddit OP, and possibly also reference a Lemmy post, give insightful information, etc

Most of my comments though are just discussions though, not many fixes or solutions. So that's what I'm planning on doing

Fuck yeah. Love hearing more of this news!

I'm really really REALLY excited for boost for Lemmy. Def going to full purchase. I've been using Connect in the meantime which I also really enjoy using

I still have boost for reddit installed lol but I made sure to donate on multiple occasions before I inevitably stopped using the app. I tried all the apps, but I loved boost the most

Very fair and reasonable points. That's interesting to know about the dev, I had no idea! It's gotta be a shit load of work. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here

I had no idea about this and haven't heard of it before. Thanks for the info!

Is Nitter just the twitter of the fediverse? I can't subscribe to real-debrid's Nitter content, on Lemmy, can I?

I don't know how to edit on thunder lol

I do this once a week, no app or anything. I'd add air fryer broccoli but I'm lazy

Why? It's easier than I thought. I fast until 130 pm and try to eat only this. I bring it to work, put in work fridge, and microwave. Tastes amazing and I look forward to it, helps not snacking

Boost refugee reporting!!

I should probably just uninstall Boost from my phone :( I just opened it and seems to be working, but maybe it hasn't kicked in yet

There are still some subreddits that I used a lot that [seem like they] haven't migrated over yet :/ battlestations, intermittentfasting, lostark, oneplus, purdue, my local town, etc. It just sucks a lot since I'm trying to avoid using reddit entirely :(

Seconded! Upvoting seems slow, that's the only thing I noticed

ye bro I went around trying a bunch, but ended up coming back to Boost after a full cycle. I can't pinpoint what it is, but it felt absolutely incredible (as are the other apps, but this one was extra incredible for me)

I guess it just had everything I wanted, the other ones might've had a few niche things that weren't ideal for me

Oh I had no idea! That sounds really nice. I don't really know what front end means exactly, but is a good comparison betterdiscord vs. discord?

Also you mention that it never talks to twitter, but I'm curious does it still pull data from twitter? Like your account and who you follow

It feels nice and warm, that's for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

Semi-related... You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we're still growing and I'm just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol

Nova Launcher, KWGT widgets, gold leaf icon pack

I change my wallpaper like once a week but this is what I have on now

Yea I read something about how this absolutely fucks with the google search algorithm (?) and makes it so reddit can't profit off your comment. I think that's actually brilliant (if my comments had 0 value), but I would personally rather redirect users to the fediverse and be informative, than reduce their profits by a smidge

General kenobi!

Yea, so what I was thinking was edit all of them with PDS with a template I have, then go back manually to specific posts/guides and add links to the new guides. Sounds like that would work then, thx :)

I'll check those out - thanks! Oohhh, I had no idea torrentio had a setting with a limit. I'll make sure that's set correctly as well

I just started doing it out of inspiration from my coworker. I'm lazy and hate spending a lot of time cooking, and cleaning

So here's what I do

• instant white rice, season with basically any "flavor God" seasoning, salt and pepper if needed, THEN microwave it
• grab aldis green bag chicken (the parmesan Breaded tenders?), throw in their air fryer for 400 for like 14 mins (still adjusting)
• grab containers from Amazon
• put rice in, cut chicken as desired
• throw in freezee

A lot of this you can combine tasks and save time :)

Thanks man, I really like this. I'll see if I want to borrow some of your wording :)

edit: your first link in pastebin ("this") is private I think?

Thanks for the reply, that actually blows since there's a few super populated subs over there that I'm part of. I suppose I'll leave those and try to find a different one in an instance that's federated with lemmy.world

Yea, I sort of agree - that's kind of why I think that doing research yourself by looking across dozens of sources, posts, and comments, then making your own judgment call is the way. Idk I guess maybe it's just my experience, but I usually find that a comment with misinformation is downvoted to oblivion with responses as to why it's wrong, and the most helpful solution is usually upvoted, with replies like "you're a life saver" or "this is the real answer. thank you!!". Obviously I don't mean like 100% of content is like this, there will be bad content everywhere, but I take every solution with a grain of salt while looking at other solutions, and decide for myself (or maybe I misunderstood you lol)

There are sooooooo many times, way more than I can count, that I had an INCREDIBLY niche problem (usually tech related) and bam, someone on reddit had the same issue, and either figured it out & posted the solution, or the wack solution is in the comments. I never ever find this information on other random articles or "official help threads". This happened so much that I didn't google a single piece of information without adding "reddit" to it

I feel like AI would be better for simple things like an excel formula, or ordinary information? For now, at least. But, I am trying to learn more about this subject and truly see the legitimate capabilities of AI

Then again, what do I know lol
