I appreciate keeping it short for us. Some comments on here are so long winded sometimes

The comments are always 🔥. They're better than the videos most of the time...

God I could kiss you. It's so weird. People have been just saying what's on their minds in chatrooms, forums, etc since the beginning of the internet, which was never scrutinized this much over being "factual". They were just expressing themselves. But now all of sudden we need a PSA to stop it lol

Neat. What's the use case for it?

You can try an RSS feed. Here's a link to the RSS feed to this post:

I feel the same way about RSS feeds. It's a technology meant to keep up with updates on nearly anything across the internet. Even social media sites. It's been available for ages. But no one is pushing for sites to provide them. 🤷‍♂️

Just Mozilla being Mozilla... Taking forever to get impactful stuff like this released or to fix bugs that have been sitting around for years. Yet quick to add features to the browser most of us don't need.

I like what Mozilla is doing. But they seem to struggle with their priorities.

Yeah, sorry I was specifically replying to part about seeing the content from communities (or everything on the internet, really) in one view. Keeping your identity across multiple forums is platform-specific and would be solved by Lemmy directly. RSS feeds would just give you the updates and the links directly to the content. But once you click through to go to each website, you'd just be using your already-logged-in state on the platform.

you could easily keep your identity across multiple forums and see the content from all your communities on one page

RSS feeds have provided this experience for years. The problem is that a lot of sites stopped serving RSS feeds for their content. But sites like rss.app and openrss can be used to get RSS feeds for sites that don't have them.
