QuadratureSurfer

I don’t remember the exact search, but it had something to do with Star Citizen. A link to a post from that Lemmy.world community was fairly high on a DuckDuckGo search result.

Along with a few other users, I’ve posted some useful links and info in the community over there. It looks like that work is starting to pay off.

I find it useful to sign up for multiple accounts and then segregate those into browsing/posting habits for different categories. One for gaming (or other relaxed communities), one for science & tech, one for politics that I only occasionally dip into, one that’s a voting only account, etc.

At the very least, you can take a break from communities that can easily be more toxic, whenever you want. If downvotes bother you, I would also suggest signing up with a fediverse instance that disables downvotes.

I’ve actually started to see some results from Lemmy.world in DuckDuckGo search results.

I’ve tested PieFed out for a bit, and I like what they have going on. It uses ActivityPub, just like Mastadon or Lemmy. It’s mostly similar to Lemmy, but it has some additional features that are awesome:

• Feeds - In PieFed you can combine multiple communities into a single feed (makes it so much easier to browse through all of the different c/technology posts from Lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, Beehaw, programming.dev, etc.).
• Crosspost View - If a post has been crossposted, scrolling through the comments is organized into sections from each community that the post was crossposted into.
• Delayed posting - Set a future time for when you want your post/comment to be posted.
• Post tagging - Ability to tag a post as a spoiler, discussion, question/answered etc.
• Spoiler tags on a post blur out images.
• User tagging - Public tags for anyone to see.
