What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

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?

Is there a ranking showing how popular different hobbies are by country? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

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?

What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

My bike is the only thing I can say for certain has paid for itself. If I had paid $1 for each trip I’ve taken on it, I would have spent far more than it cost me.

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?

Today I discovered the Fediverse Software Database, and it’s a bit disheartening to see how many platforms have so few users. What are some ways we could help promote these smaller or newer Fediverse projects and give them more visibility?

A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

There should be a Fediverse platform that makes blocking entire topics as easy as blocking a tag, not subscribing/unsubscribing dozens of communities. Firefish (antennas) and PieFed let you follow/block keywords, but that’s not the same as robust, community-wide topic blocking. Imagine collaborative, booru-style tagging across posts so blocking a tag reliably removes all content using it. Does anyone know of software that already provides topic-level blocking out of the box without needing long manual lists?

Where to Find Public Lists of Banned Books in US States? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I'm curious about where I can find public lists of banned books across various states in the US. Are these lists openly accessible to the public, or do they mainly remain internal documents shared between the government and libraries?
