The worst part is bookmarks are sorted by post creation date, not date bookmarked.
So if you bookmark something old, it’s gone in the bookmark chasm.

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.
Gaah, that’s why?!?
thumbs up this issue! https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3229
On behalf of the less tech savvy lemurs: you all are awesome.
(I know it’s lemming, but I feel like a fraud here not knowing Linux and coding)
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
Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.
I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I’m looking for will be able to find it from my post.
I have little to no intention of further referencing that post
You’re a saint.
On the old site my username was AmNotSatan, with the premise being that I may not be good but at least I AmNotSatan.
People would constantly accuse me of secretly being Satan all of the time, to which I would invariably reply, Am Not
Thank you for reminding me to go back through my saved posts
We need RemindMe bot
I think we do @remindmebot
Or maybe we did seems to be down
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 don’t even know where to view my bookmarked content on Lemmy.
Profile, saved/favorite (I can’t recall what it is via browser, but it’s something like that).
On reddit you could go to reddit.com/saved and would redirect you to the saved page. Lemmy doesn’t have that and you have to remember https://lemmy.world/u/(username)?view=Saved
Also fun quirk. If you try to show someone else’s saved posts it just shows your own instead.
Or maybe target user saved same posts as you 🤔
The only likely explanation.
They’ve got some bomb ass-taste then.
Why bother bookmaking then /s
Commenting so I don’t forget (I will)
I’ve saved this for later.
That and not being able to be notified when there are new replies to a topic (you are only notified if some repplies to something you wrote.) That means you read something and have to go back to it regularly to see if there are new replies. That doesn’t work at all.
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
Wow just calling me out here smh.
I didn’t even know saving posts was an option. I dont think its available on kbin.
Idk if it’s my lemmy client (eternity) or instance (lemmy.sdf.org) but it seems like “saved posts” doesn’t work for me :/ so if I ever need to keep one, I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).
Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!
There’s dozens of us ;)
I’m just glad federation is back after that scare!
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).
Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don’t interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do
I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open
Those are rookie numbers. I have 10+ windows.
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?
I’m in this post and I hate it
Damn I thought I was weird for doing it
And your telling me that’s just what people do lmao
That’s why I save everything into my “Note to self” encrypted Signal blob. It’s searchable and you can improvise tags by just writing words
Unfortunately with a much higher rate of post/comment rot.
