    The worst part is bookmarks are sorted by post creation date, not date bookmarked.

    So if you bookmark something old, it’s gone in the bookmark chasm.

      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.

          On behalf of the less tech savvy lemurs: you all are awesome.

          (I know it’s lemming, but I feel like a fraud here not knowing Linux and coding)

      I think categories/topics would be great as well. Maybe a collection for read later, tech, news etc. So i could sort them better.

      Boost app is the solution to this problem

        I’d be curious how boost solved it. It is impossible retrieve saved posts/comments by saved date in the Lemmy API. https://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

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
