I asked something in c/nostupidquestions and got downvoted heavily, was I really out of line? I felt so unwelcomed that I decided to leave Lemmy.

We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

I would like a script that given a list of my liked instances gives me the piefed instances that federate with all of them. Is there something like that?

I was wondering if there’s a site or database that shows how common different hobbies are in each country—like reading books, playing board games, listening to music, cooking, etc.

Does such a ranking or survey exist?

I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

Piefed now generates human-readable post URLs instead of those random ID strings. This issue has been around on Lemmy for ages with no real progress from core devs. At this point, you have to wonder what the Lemmy dev team is focusing on.

Imagine a TierMaker where everyone can rank the same things, and instead of just your personal list, it shows a combined “community consensus.” Would be interesting to see how the internet as a whole ranks thinks.

The other day I turned on the radio and the host was giving what sounded like a sermon about “growth” and how everyone loves it because it improves life quality and makes things cheaper. I already avoid mainstream news because it’s all one-sided and shallow, but now I’m getting sermons too.

Is there any way to listen to radio content filtered by topics I actually want, without having to manually build a playlist every day? Maybe podcasts or a feed aggregator plus with TTS to read it in real time?

I saw a post earlier about a local alternative to Perplexity (an agentic LLM + search), but now I can’t find it. Does anyone know the best way to track down posts like this?

Also, is there any community where you can ask for help searching posts on the Fediverse, or is nostupidquestions fine for that?

I really wish posts were properly organized using tags. Finding stuff would be so much easier.
