Using the search in the subreddit lets you see what the price is usually on sale at, and around what time of year. Sometimes the current sale isn't worth buying. People would comment in the threads mentioning that.

You can also read everyone's comments on that specific product in either the current thread or the old ones to see if it's worth buying or not for yourself.

Do note that a lot of these have 30-100 comments that are helpful for users to read.

Discord is VERY different from link/thread aggregators/forums such as Reddit and Lemmy. I just don't understand subreddits that move to Discord.

/r/buildapcsales/ has an official Discord server now, and it just sucks compared to Reddit's format.

Also, Discord doesn't show up in search results for if people are trying to find an answer for something. And the search in the Discord servers sucks for this kind of thing as well.


Elaborating on /r/buildapcsales specifically with earlier comment:

I think they are talking about the features of the software. On Windows, both AMD & NVIDIA has a program suite that can do a lot of things that are much more convenient than installing multiple programs and trying to configure them all.

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford that. Spotify family plan is significantly cheaper than buying every single album from every artist I and my family listens to. Just for myself, I'd have to spend $5000+ for the amount of music I listen to if I bought the mp3 or flac files.

GrapheneOS is pretty damn great. But yes... Android Auto is something I do miss :(

I find it strange that you're having this issue. I haven't had this issue on my OnePlus 3T, Note9, or Pixel 7 Pro using Fennec F-Droid or Mull (FOSS forks of Firefox)

You can use a service like Feedly & Inoreader. They both have Android apps and you can use their web app for desktop.

I personally self host FreshRSS & RSS-Bridge via docker and sync with Fluent Reader (Linux), FeedMe (Android), and Read You (Android). Though self hosting isn't for everyone.

You can check this compilation of Lemmy apps.

I personally prefer Jerboa and Thunder. I think I like Jerboa more currently. Neither are perfect. Missing some features, missing more customization, and has bugs here and there. They are getting better and better though!

I am waiting to see if the Slide fork really happens as I used to love that for Reddit before it got abandoned.

I hate this so much. There were 2 times where I forgot to bring my phone with me:

One of them, they literally had to go next door to FedEx to print me a menu because they didn't have a physical menu.

The other place, they just couldn't serve me because everything is done online. You scan your table QR, do all of your ordering on there, and pay on there too at the end of your meal.
