Idk if it’s my lemmy client (eternity) or instance (lemmy.sdf.org) but it seems like “saved posts” doesn’t work for me :/ so if I ever need to keep one, I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).
I use Eternity as well, but with the instance reddthat.com as such my saved posts work fine. Maybe try the web page for your instance to see if they work there?
I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).
I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it’s been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I’ll get back to eventually).
Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don’t interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do
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.
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
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: !microcontrollers
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.
I’d be curious how boost solved it. It is impossible retrieve saved posts/comments by saved date in the Lemmy API. 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
