Problem statement: I have a bunch of links to sites that update infrequently (think monthly or quarterly magazines) and I want to remember to go read them when they've updated.

RSS isn't a great solution since almost all sites spam out constant low-value content which I'd prefer to not be bombarded with - I just want to see the main updates, similarly to how I'd have received a magazine in the mail, in the past.

The basic answer here is just keep a list of links and remember to click them, and that's what I do, but it feels like there could be a better solution...

How do you handle this?

 

Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I'm not comfortable with how much I use that.

Right, why would I bother with the reddit IPO? IPO pricing is all over the place. If I want it - I don't - I'll buy it day 1.

Some communities have always made it hard for Spring Breakers but I agree, momentum is building.

It's not all of a sudden. The Spring Break crowd has been controversial for decades. Bar and hotel owners of course love them. Locals unaffiliated with the tourism industry are more ambivalent and always have been.

If these movies did not make money, they would not get made. Maybe other types of movies would get made, and maybe they'd be better, but the big budget movies that do get made are to make money.

Yeah this seems crazy. We should just require Israel to set forth and protect a humanitarian corridor. We have a ton of leverage against Israel.

Race is not a biological term but it's absolutely a sociological term, i.e. a complex social construct we've created based on superficial physical characteristics

 

I don't mean an application of technology. Or a specific fact. I'm interested in more big picture things.

Whatever most people in real life would say is moderate.

You're going to need to provide the definition of nutrition that you are using.

Also if you're angry at "apple and ham sandwich" you're going to need to do the compared to what thing, and I guarantee you the content of the school lunches the kids' parents failed to pay for would make you even angrier.

You are right on the last point. Parents should feed their kids.

This is excessively gloomy and borderline hysterical.

It's good for kids to see their parents providing for them - such as packing lunches for school. It emphasizes the truth that adult life is a series of mundane but important tasks, and that duty is also important.

There's also the probability that OP is fixating on the sort of hyperfeminine transwomen that are often quite prominent on social media, when in fact there are many transwomen flying under the radar. I would guess that OP is attracted to lavish displays of femininity, and you can find a lot of those in the social media presences of some transwomen. Some biological women as well, but OP is exposed to many, many, more biological women that do not display themselves with this feminine style.

No judgement on any of this I'm just trying to articulate a statistical and aestheic phenomenon.

 

Here are some specific questions.

  • Are the upvotes and downvotes I make, private? If I report a comment, is my report private?

  • Can someone follow me across lemmy instances based on my username?

  • If I want to make a community, is there a reason I would choose one lemmy over another?

  • Are the powers of moderators similar to reddit's?

  • Where can I find a list of most active lemmy instances?

  • Any other differences from reddit I should know about?

 

Basically I'm looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there's not as much venting.
