Any chance you have any experience with FreshRSS’s web scraping ability for sites without RSS feeds? I’ve been dabbling with RSSBridge lately, but it seems like having this altogether might be a decent idea if I’m going to be mucking around with server-software stuff.
To clarify a little, I was asking more about things where…Importance isn’t so much a factor. It’s more to do with wanting to know whatever new oddity might be around to check out. Passivity in this situation is allowing others to have more input on what reaches you, which isn’t always reliable if you want to explore different stuff.
I need to figure out a better way to frame this question. 🤔
But if you’re asking about buying your own domain name (firstname-lastname.com) vs. using a subdomain from your hosting provider (myblog.wordpress.com) then it comes down to preference. Having your own domain will make you look more professional and get you more clicks on average.
Mainly the latter, and you cover the reasons for that, so appreciate it! For a more casual approach (and according to one’s preferences), it sounds like you’d be alright to stick with the subdomain-from-host approach, which is how I was leaning but I wasn’t sure if there might be more to it than that within the more managed hosting space.
Yeah! Although, from personal experience reading blogs on Medium, it wouldn’t be my first choice simply due to its pushiness to sign up/subscribe to some of the blogs there.
I never read from any one source there consistently enough to remember if that’s a general platform element or only partnered/select blog element, and I feel like others unfamiliar with it may feel similar.
Ooh, I see now. It wasn’t clear from the previous comments that you were wanting to use it apart from your phone, which is why I asked. I’ve helped someone with a Garmin watch before and I definitely agree that their software could be improved from the little I experienced of it.
No…Not the British. More early human evolution where we saw homo sapiens existing alongside homo neanderthalensis, and wondering if that were to happen again (albeit possibly with a less related and more distinct species), how we might do things differently.
I gotcha. Fwiw I kind of agree, even beyond Lemmy I’ve been a little surprised some of these sites/instances haven’t done more to tailor themselves to accommodate more folks or focus on specific demographics.
That’s supposed to be one of the big perks of the federation approach, being able to create more distinct communities, but outside of a few, they largely seem to run the software as-is, maybe with some backend adjustments to help reduce the costs of operation or the like.
Thanks for the advice! Also, maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I think the chat community on lemmy.ca isn’t around anymore…? Didn’t show up when I searched there and the link leads to an error page, so unfortunately I think that’s no longer an option.
I don’t eat tofu, nor been around folks that do (or do and talk about it), so I’m whiffing here. Is it because tofu spoils when left open, or is there a pronunciation part I’m missing?
There’s a large overlap with “slice of life”, and a lot of these are set in school for whatever reason - YMMV.
I do enjoy anime, but a lot of them are like this and the reason’s pretty clear: the target audience is often skewed younger (i.e. teens/young adults). Are the ones you’ve suggested set in school, or…? It’s not a dealbreaker fwiw just not my first choice.
Cromartie High School is one of my occasional fallbacks for something silly & lighthearted, after all.
Also, if you do comment why don’t you not comment?
Half-jokes aside, I post as I post 'cause I don’t see the questions/answers on Lemmy on a light search, albeit I may see them on Reddit or elsewhere, and want folks to be able to find responses/answers to similar questions here. Besides that I also like asking questions for more current responses than others that may be outdated or otherwise benefit from some current perspectives.
