What if I store my collection of links on https://merv.news or something like that instead of my garden? It's not like anybody looks for these links there except for me.

I'm applying for an account on merv.news under the same username. What is the culture there? What are the conventions? Are there any link-capturing tools? Can I depublish links? Are there tags?

you can't totally erase something from the lemmy instance, so keep that in mind when you share something. You can make it hidden, but you can't erase it entirely.

While cooking the dinner, I was thinking of what I want from my perfect bookmarking system. Looks like I'll end making my own hahaha.

It will be named after a tree. It will have #IndieWeb and #Mycoverse federation, with the former being simple to implement and latter being made up by me; I'm not talking about ActivityPub here. It will be a single binary. It will have a single file storage (SQLite). It will have categories.

Tell me something like that exists before it's too late.

@neauoire I know this HTML file, it's cool. But this is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about collections of contextualized links. For example, see the links here: https://melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/c

Your collection is more like โ€œHere are some cool sitesโ€. I should have a place like that too, of course, and it's going to be in Melanocarpa.

I'd write that /c page by hand I think, I'd add a <p></p> tag if I have something to say about a specific link.

@neauoire Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing and I don't like it. I want to have these links separate from my garden, and my garden to focus on my content, not links few people out of few people who visit the site will click.

@neauoire
Just vim. Some terminals automatically make links clickable, though.

But honestly, my bookmarks file is pretty much write-only at the moment. XD

Lo, thar be cookies on this site to keep track of your login. By clicking 'okay', you are CONSENTING to this.
