What’s your white whale?
    1. that's amazing. Thank you! 2) I'm using Wefwef and PMs seem to be a bit broken and I couldn't see what I was typing, so please excuse my nonsensical garbled attempts at replying there 😁
  • What’s your white whale?
  • Cheers! I should have qualified an active torrent, but that's more than I've ever seen - I'll give them a go...

    EDIT: can't seem to get to any actual magnet links - everything I click just seems to throw up an ad...

  • What is something you wish you knew when you were younger?
  • When worrying about things, assess them using the rule of fives - i.e. Will this still matter in:

    • Five minutes
    • Five hours
    • Five days
    • Five weeks
    • Five months
    • Five years

    Gauge the right level of temporal impact and adjust your level of concern accordingly. Few things are as bad as they first seem once you've properly assessed them using this rule of thumb 🙂

  • What items/services are worth selling locally?
  • The fact you've made it here onto the fediverse suggests you're pretty tech savvy. Have you considered offering tech support services locally? There's probably loads of older folk around who would appreciate someone who can sort out their laptop, set up their printer etc.

    You could also try a specific subset of this if you wanted to optimise for reputation and cash - e.g. Get good at setting up mesh wifi systems like Amazon Eero and then sell your services locally as an installer?

  • Feature request: hide server in community names on communities list
  • I had not considered the idea of subbing to multiple same-name communities across servers and using the multi-reddit model to pull them into a single feed, but that actually makes all the sense in the world - e.g. would enable folk who want the 'edgier' content of a topic to sub to an instance stored on a server which allowed that material as well as a more mainstream one and then combine them into one seamless view.

    I like this fediverse stuff!

  • What's your favorite RSS Reader?
  • This doesn't meet your platform requirements, but for non-Appley types reading - Feeder:

    https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/

    Very minimal (in a good way) and clean RSS reader that can sync across Android devices. I think if it had a Web version it'd be perfect.

  • Feature request: hide server in community names on communities list
  • Definitely! I'm using Wefwef for the time being app-wise and I hadn't even noticed this because I think it actually does hide the server name on user accounts - I just see your name right now. Cleaner for sure!

  • Feature request: hide server in community names on communities list

    Hi all,

    Guess it's never too early to start thinking about features we'd like to see in Boost for Lemmy!

    I was scrolling down my list of subbed communities just now and reflecting that the "@(server)" part of the community names makes it harder to quickly read them (for me at least).

    I know that - this being the fediverse - you might sub to two communities with the same name but on different servers (eg. Football@[server]) but I would imagine that the majority of users will just pick one and on the day to day they won't be terribly concerned where exactly that community is being hosted.

    I think it'd be neat if you could select to hide the server part of the community name in Boost's list, or at least make it less prominent in the name visually (e.g. - the actual name part in a highlight colour, the server part in a grey/other colour that blends in against the backdrop).

    Thanks 🙂
