That and not being able to be notified when there are new replies to a topic (you are only notified if some repplies to something you wrote.) That means you read something and have to go back to it regularly to see if there are new replies. That doesn’t work at all.
Yeah, I’d like it to be a watch topic, or similar.
that's interesting, but there are no comments yet as it was just posted. I would like to be notified when it starts to get some discussion
I don’t even know where to view my bookmarked content on Lemmy.
Why bother bookmaking then /s
Profile, saved/favorite (I can’t recall what it is via browser, but it’s something like that).
On reddit you could go to reddit.com/saved and would redirect you to the saved page. Lemmy doesn’t have that and you have to remember https://lemmy.world/u/(username)?view=Saved
Also fun quirk. If you try to show someone else’s saved posts it just shows your own instead.
Or maybe target user saved same posts as you 🤔
They’ve got some bomb ass-taste then.
The only likely explanation.
We need RemindMe bot
I think we do @remindmebot
Or maybe we did seems to be down
We have that. It is a mastodon bot. I don’t remember what server it is on, but tagging it will set the reminder.
The worst part is bookmarks are sorted by post creation date, not date bookmarked.
So if you bookmark something old, it’s gone in the bookmark chasm.

I think categories/topics would be great as well. Maybe a collection for read later, tech, news etc. So i could sort them better.
This has given me an absolute aneurysm. I saved something to show the wife only for it to not be there when I went looking. I found the post the long way and sure enough it was still saved.
Maube it was a glitch…
Unsave and resave. still can’t find it. rinse and repeat.
Eventually found out about the saving order quirk and sure enough all the way at the bottom was the saved post in question.
Gaah, that’s why?!?
thumbs up this issue! https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3229
On behalf of the less tech savvy lemurs: you all are awesome.
(I know it’s lemming, but I feel like a fraud here not knowing Linux and coding)
Boost app is the solution to this problem
I’d be curious how boost solved it. It is impossible retrieve saved posts/comments by saved date in the Lemmy API. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3229
Well shit you’re right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn’t noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad
The bookmark button only exists to be pressed accidentally right
Thank you for reminding me to go back through my saved posts
I didn’t even know saving posts was an option. I dont think its available on kbin.
Unfortunately with a much higher rate of post/comment rot.
Wow just calling me out here smh.
Commenting so I don’t forget (I will)
I’m in this post and I hate it
Damn I thought I was weird for doing it
And your telling me that’s just what people do lmao
I’ve saved this for later.
That’s why I save everything into my “Note to self” encrypted Signal blob. It’s searchable and you can improvise tags by just writing words
Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.
I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I’m looking for will be able to find it from my post.
I have little to no intention of further referencing that post
Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.
If more people did that, we’d be cured of the “found a solution in an old post -> solution is deleted” trend which has woefully plagued the web.
How are there only 2 arduino posts in the Arduino Lemmy? Are there no other Lemmys for microcontrollers?
I have no idea. I also thought it was weird but whatever whatever
Your post made me search and I found this:
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
You’re a saint.
On the old site my username was AmNotSatan, with the premise being that I may not be good but at least I AmNotSatan.
People would constantly accuse me of secretly being Satan all of the time, to which I would invariably reply, Am Not
