https://teddit.net/r/CombatFootage any help? This is confusing for me, I hope you solve it.

I tried to snort yesterday.

  • Got some coke and a straw
  • Damn ice cube got stuck in my nose.

Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up... Stuff I had bookmarks for, but rarely visited lately...

  • Digg Top Stories (43 unread) if I get bored - at least a dozen of those will keep me entertained.

Stuff from the 'other' place - useful fodder to consider 'bridging' or just 'copy/pasting' over in Fediverse :P

I added the Firefox extension, so if I visit Youtube - for example (open this in a PRIVATE window, not logged in) Insights from Ukraine and Russia then I can Easily add the RSS by searching in Inoreader.

Here's Daily Dose of Internet

The beauty being that you can quickly go through all this stuff - great keyboard accessibility (90% covered with Shift J-K to go to the next/previous feed, Shift-X to toggle expansion of the folder, J - K to go (and mark read) the next/previous item (but you can ALWAYS view all articles in a thread)... all without visiting the sites.

Feedly and Inoreader are both awesome - and you can (and should regularly) export a list of your feeds as a backup/migration strategy.

We must go out into the Fediverse, and discover - or create - our alternatives.

Watching and waiting are one thing, but anyone with the expertise on Reddit should consider starting up basically a Fediverse Mirror.

So right now, with r/zfs being down, would be the perfect time for a similar instance to be fired up in the Fediverse.

This is very true.

Sometimes we learn bad habits, and when someone points out that the way most folks do it is actually wrong - they get voted down by most folks who want to justify that, because they're doing it wrong, then the suggestion is offensive.

Cool - but I'm not on Beehaw (I'm on lemmy.world) to add to the confusion, and I see here both an up and down arrow...

Plus there are way more people here who aren't dicks

Well there are just WAY less people here, and the barrier to entry is still pretty high - dicks (and millions of good people) are still filtered out by this.

I know you all who have been here longer than 3 days are probably sick of the whole "leaving Reddit" post trend here.

Hmm some might be excited to see some new content coming up...

I ended up hearing about Lemmy while browsing today and I deleted my account just now.

Not too hasty I hope.

I'm more of the school that believes we need to create our alternatives to evil empires.

You know - Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Quora - whatever your addictive poison is.

Once similar communities (popular now on Reddit) are mirrored in the Fediverse, then users should find it easier to migrate.

So Fediverse jokes might start being better than r/jokes etc.

Only time will tell, really, whether the toxicity of Reddit will come with us. I'm guessing that people are people, and we'll just have to see how it pans out.

Hopefully we'll see more communities created in the Fediverse...

They're mostly for defence. The best way to attack snails is with an a-salt rifle.

Haha I listened to one of a Russian soldier who explained to his wife that they were pre-warned and prepared for instant evacuation when the dam blew... otherwise there would have been a whole lot more Russian losses over it.

Straight from the horses mouth.

Hi - is this incoming r/combatfootage ?

[–] BendyLemmy 8 points 2 years ago

How do we get to the 'megathread' ? I never knew one existed.
