These are just a few of the new things I’ve added/discovered recently thanks to Lemmy:

• Consent-O-Matic plugin, a browser extension that recognizes CMP (Consent Management Provider) pop-ups that have become ubiquitous on the web and automatically fills them out based on your preferences – even if you meet a dark pattern design;
• DeArrow plugin, an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube;
• “Activate Windows” watermark ported to Linux, which always makes me laugh;
• If you’re using zsh, it has tetris built-in as a feature. To activate it, you run autoload -Uz tetriscurses, then run tetriscurses. A whole afternoon goes away;
• whateveritworks searxng instance. It’s part of a collection of speedy and reliable self-hosted instances of popular FOSS projects, like Piped, Nitter and Hyperpipe. I’m again having fun searching the web.

These are the ones that I can come up with from the top of my head. Try them out. If you heard of them from me, know you are actually learning them from Lemmy.

Does I find better help here? Definitely!

Thanks to fellow lemmings, for the past 2 weeks I have discovered a lot new solutions/apps/plugins! My workflow has improved a lot. So much so that now I spend more and more time on Lemmy, looking for new things. My productivity is almost down to zero. I’m loving it.

Thanks for pointing out Consent-O-Matic. I’m EU based, so that really comes handy.

I’m having a blast with this kind of suggestions. And because of that I’m loving Lemmy. Thanks!

You’ll have to look for the ‘block community’ button. Depending on the UI you’re using, this can be in different places.

In Lemmy’s default UI, you first click the part under the title identifying the community under which it was posted. Let’s say it was posted under darkmemes@lemmy.world. What you do is:

1. click that darkmemes@lemmy.world;
2. on the community page, you then click the ‘block community’ button on the sidebar.

.

On a phone app, the process may be less cumbersome. On Thunder, an Android app, you just have to click and hold the post, wait until a menu appears, and then select ‘block community’.

We all have our bias. My lemmy is not like that. Which means you’re not curating your feed.

I block every community with content I’m not interested in. It works. My lemmy feed is very interesting.
