Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon
Reply in thread
Although they differ from Twitter Likes, note that Mastodon Favorites are not private. For an example, I'll refer to one of your toots:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356
Viewing it in the Mastodon web interface, I see an indication that 2 people marked it as a Favorite. I can then click to see those 2 usernames, listed here:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356/favourites
Such listings are limited though. For example, I'm viewing a toot that you boosted, and I see an indication that it has been marked as a Favorite by 816 users; but when I click to view their names, I see only 40 of them listed.

Threadiversal Travel - A guide for Lemmy, Kbin and general Reddit off-ramping
In another discussion someone mentioned the "wefwef" Apollo-inspired Lemmy client. I haven't looked into it myself, but apparently some users like it, so maybe consider adding it to your list?
[Later Edit: — I see that the list has been updated, and wefwef has been added.]

Terry Pratchett's Boot Theory

I still have those classic REI pants from over 20 years ago. They've been incredibly dependable in normal usage. When they finally required some maintenance tailoring recently, the tailor remarked on the excellent construction and fabric, saying "you can keep these for a long long time." "I have," said I, "and I will."

Can Lemmy posts be indexed by Google or other search engines?
Reply in thread
As a newcomer, I've visited 3 Lemmy sites: Beehaw. Lemmy.world, and a custom instance. I noticed that they each have page footers that contain: Join Lemmy. If the same is true of many Lemmy instances, I can add Lemmy (or, with quotation marks, "Join Lemmy") in a Google query. — (Note: Top matches might not always be best matches on the originating instance, or sometimes the best matches might be hidden until I click "repeat the search with the omitted results included." And of course sometimes I won't get any match because the target hasn't been indexed by Google.)

‘They Treat Us Worse Than Animals’: Working Without Water at Amazon
Reply in thread
Things though like detergent, toilet paper, etc, I really don’t know who sells them other than big box stores.
I buy some of that stuff locally from a well-known & supposedly-"eco-friendly" brand. Just now I checked their website to see if they sell direct-to-consumer. Some do but this brand doesn't. So I took a look at their "Where to buy" list. Most of the listed online sellers were the obvious big-box or affiliated. But there was one apparently independent and environmentally-focused alternative retailer listed, with reasonable retail and shipping prices. I'm reading up now (Wikipedia and reviews) to decide whether that retailer will interest me or not.
So, my suggestion is to visit the websites of some brands that you like. Perhaps some may sell direct; and if not, check their "Where to buy" listings to see if any interesting options might be found there.

Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option
Reply in thread
You can consider using Stonecrusher's "simpleMenuWizard" to apply custom CSS to hide a menu item. (Disclaimers: I'm not affiliated with the developer, and I haven't used this myself.)
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard
The simpleMenuWizard "link-context.css" file contains a commented list of the IDs of most of the menuitem elements of link context menus.
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard/blob/master/simpleMenuWizard/link-context.css
As listed there, the "Copy Link" menuitem element's ID is "context-copylink". If you want to hide that menu item, you would uncomment that line in the list (by removing the '/*' at the beginning of the line) as described in Step 5 of the simpleMenuWizard instructions.
At the time when I'm writing this reply, the aforementioned list hasn't yet been updated to include the "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" menuitem's ID. If you want to hide that menu item, sorry I can't check its ID for you right now, but here's how you can find it:
Enable and open the Browser Toolbox.
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/browser_toolbox/
In the Browser Toolbox, click its 3-dots icon to get an options menu. Click "Disable popup auto-hide", to make context menus persistent. Invoke a context menu on a link (the menu should persist). Use the toolbox inspector's element picker to pick the menu item that you want to hide. Then you can find that menuitem element's "id" attribute in the inspector. (Open the 3-dots menu again and click "Disable popup auto-hide" again to re-enable auto-hide.)

Kbin's "Log in" bug is discouraging me from participating

Apparently, the error condition might NOT be dependent on idle time (a period of time without any interaction). — Evidence: Periodic clicks on a vote button, scripted at 45-second intervals, did not prevent the error's eventual occurrence.

I haven't yet delved into the kbinStyles offerings.
On my Windows laptop, I'm using the Stylus extension with Firefox or Chrome, to apply quick-and-dirty sloppy CSS like:
article, article * {
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
article {
border-top: 1px dotted gray !important;
}
Someone on kbinStyles should have something MUCH better. I haven't yet tried anything from there, but I see titles like: "...replicate old reddit on kbin". Look into things like that. — https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles
Note: I also select the Compact view (in the view menu which is found via one of the buttons in the magazine header).
