Thanks for sharing! Honestly this would deserve its own post - hope people learning see this!

I also extensively use browser tools on my learning path and try to read stuff online since I can translate and instantly take notes. Pretty neat that you have an extension to do all that and that there's an API you can use. I use my Joplin notes but might have to consider something similar...

And yeah resources are plenty it seems and that's good. German also has plenty of online resources so I'm happy, but sadly many other languages don't have much yet :(

I struggle with german as well, mostly because I sometimes assume things that just are wrong (when I'm guessing the meaning of a figure of speech).

Hoping you'll enjoy your reads!

Are you using anki or somethings else for your reviews? And those kind of things are sooo useful to be able to actually use the language, keep it up!!

Sending you my motivational energy to support yours ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Hope you can push through! Motivation is temporary, your habits will carry you through!

That sounds like a good plan. I can recommend writing them down on a paper with a pen to reinforce your memory.

And yeah - apps are convenient but my experience with learning through apps wasn't the best. A course book helped a lot (but that does require more self discipline I admit).

It's ... Stagnant :( thanks for asking though! Real life has been a bit tough. I feel like I'll need another course in autumn to get my momentum back.

I thought lemsha.re stopped working - guess not, that's good news! And such a cool feature by the dev with the voyager link. Haven't tried that feature out yet (voyager is my personal favourite lemmy app).

I really need to get back to playing gw2...

Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!

Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way "lemmy" knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn't federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.

Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.

But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.

No problem, I feel like fedistuff is so scattered and hidden that it's always worth mentioning your favourite tools :)

The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this:

activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>

But I don't remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.

Edit: added words

I agree with the other answers here, however if you share the link to another fediuser outside of the platform (e.g matrix) I really like sharing with threadiverse.link.

Edit: an example using your post with threadiverse link (used my local instance to copy the post): https://threadiverse.link/sopuli.xyz/post/29845043

You set your instance once into the cookies and it will always redirect to yours.

Can't have nice things because of these kinds of idiots. They should go touch some grass...

Interesting. We have an official comaps community on !CoMaps@sopuli.xyz that is linked on comaps page and one of the main devs posts there. Wonder if they made that user?

First, as others have stated: this is misleading, but that is fine as many maps are misleading and discussion around it is good so people who don't often look at data or maps get more critical of what they see. An image with data but no sources is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Second (related to the first), where is the source. I could not find this map on US Air Quality Index so I guess its an app that pulls data from there (so they might be interpreting the data wrong or just took a snapshot of a specific datetime or whatever. Also I couldn't even find data for europe on their website).

I went to reddit and here's the original post that also lacks the source and the comments are pretty much the same as here.
