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.

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

How are there only 2 arduino posts in the Arduino Lemmy? Are there no other Lemmys for microcontrollers?

You're a saint.

Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.

If more people did that, we'd be cured of the "found a solution in an old post -> solution is deleted" trend which has woefully plagued the web.

We have that. It is a mastodon bot. I don't remember what server it is on, but tagging it will set the reminder.

I think we do @remindmebot

Or maybe we did seems to be down

Profile, saved/favorite (I can't recall what it is via browser, but it's something like that).

Why bother bookmaking then /s

Yeah, I'd like it to be a watch topic, or similar.

that's interesting, but there are no comments yet as it was just posted. I would like to be notified when it starts to get some discussion

Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!

I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it's been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I'll get back to eventually).

I use Eternity as well, but with the instance reddthat.com as such my saved posts work fine. Maybe try the web page for your instance to see if they work there?
