Ah, so it's not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on "Saved" to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it's sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn't even on the first page of results.

I just tried searching "element lemmy" and got the article Lemmy: Fans call for periodic table element to be named after Motörhead frontman

Whereas "element reddit" gives /r/elementchat/

Lemmy is indexed on Google as using the site: operator will show, e.g. "rust site:programming.dev" gives sensible results, but there's not a way to search across Lemmy. Well, not with Google anyway (Kagi has a Fediverse lens that works fairly well).

It's an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you're downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like "I don't like this", "I disagree", "This is factually incorrect", "Spam", "Abusive language", etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

I'm the Worf kind. I suspect that for us non-USA types it's pretty one-sided.

I'm team Firefox, very happy here. There's a small amount of optional telemetry to disable to maximise your privacy, and it has the best plugins because there's a lot of choice and they're not purposely crippled.

Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.

It took me longer than I'd care to admit to get this yoke.

https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.

This post would pass its validation.

I begrudgingly agree, although it is very relevant and thought-provoking.
