Whoa, so much to browse through. Thanks!

I’ve been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I’m most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.

The tags for specific feeds seem to be really important for news sites. I tried adding one without it, and it completely overwhelmed my feed with a billion posts per day. I removed it in less than 24 hrs, lol

Oh, very cool idea! I’m adding the star trek tag now to try it out and may expand from there if I like it. Thanks!

Oh, I have just the page to test this out on now. Thank you!

This is promising! Thanks.

I’m using Feeder too. I haven’t tried any others, but I remember someone on lemmy recommended it once before, and it seems perfectly good to me.

Wow, I should have scrolled back some for these. Thanks.

Lol, it’s luck of the draw I guess. I do most of my posting from my phone, so sometimes it looks good enough to me, but probably not on a bigger screen.

I’m worried that I’ll never know if I’m getting Alzheimer’s.

CTRL + shift + T and I are very well acquainted.

This has been my experience too. And then once one side does something in response to what was covered in their bubble, the opposite side has no idea why and is completely befuddled by their behavior.

I delayed it for maybe 10 years after they first started asking if I wanted to get them removed, then finally decided it was time about a year or two ago. The recovery sucked for a couple of days, but I don’t remember my bill being exceptionally bad (I think my insurance paid quite a bit though).

It’s really amazing. The only (not really) downside is that certain episodes make me tear up.

Don’t worry, you’ll learn your lesson before next time. Surely.

It’s the social media equivalent of supporting a bunch of Mom and Pop shops (or opening your own!) vs some hyper-sanitized, corporate monstrosity like Wal-Mart.

Determine if the relationship is having a negative impact on you, then either 1) assess why it’s hurting you and if there’s anything to adjust about how you’re processing it, or 2) protect your mental health by setting up the boundaries that you need, cutting off as a last resort.

Be cautious about asking this online though. People are tribal about politics and have zero investment in your IRL relationships, so you may see lots of rationalizing of cutting off a lifelong friend, family member, spouse, etc without much nuance. Only you have the proper perspective to determine what you’d be sacrificing and if it’s a net positive.

Of course! Why, what have you been reading?

I bet you excelled in your Literature classes.
