  • Thing with PieFed is it don’t really have an app.

    There’s no dedicated app, true. I find adding piefed.ca as an app via Firefox (Fennec) to be good enough, but there’s two issues I have right now. One is can’t sort by x amount of time for Top posts in the community although according to their repo that’s in the next update, just the front page for now. The other is this comment box. For some reason the top bar of useful tools is missing unless I go to edit the same comment after posting it. Weird. Might be a bug.

    Haven’t tried Interstellar yet personally.

    Anyways, hope your post nets you some useful options. Hadn’t considered using Wikipedia for that, maybe I can add it to my RSS feeds too somehow.

    I use PieFed. Filter lists are one feature and here I am commenting on user/moderator QoL feature anemic Lemmy. I see absolutely nothing about US politics unless the title doesn’t mention what I’ve blacklisted. Still cuts down on almost all of it except meme communities. I try to join meme communities not hosted on American centric instances instead.

    A little bit is okay. I just don’t want US centric posts to be the majority of what I see as a Canadian. It’s not my country.

    I use FreshRSS for news/international news and my mental health is better for it since I don’t look at it constantly like my forums addiction.



  • Didn’t say if you own the home or not, but if so:

    Mind it’s only hot for 2-4 months out of the year for me, so I have a winterized attic fan. Just means I’m not losing heat in the winter and paid a little more to buy it. You can just get a regular attic fan if it’s never or rarely cold where you live.

    You leave windows open, but now there’s negative pressure from pushing air out the attic where a lot of the heat is trapped and sucking in air from outside even if there’s no breeze. I leave the attic access hole open when it’s running. The rare day I still use a Window A/C to sleep.


  • Had nightmares as a very young child and could dream visually back then. Only when dreaming. I have total Aphantasia, and no sense memory.

    I lost the ability to dream visually in my teens, so I don’t think it was a trauma response. I even remember my last vivid dream. Roller Coaster Tycoon inspired, so I can’t say it was unpleasant. My inability to remember dreams at the time followed soon after.

    I managed to lucid dream once in my 20’s and very briefly had a stunning visual dream when I concentrated quite hard and it was as if smacking an old CRT TV with faulty connections. The effort maintaining that woke me up pretty quick, but for a minute I was in between huge glacial ice walls in a row boat bobbing in mostly calm deep blue sea water with chunks of ice floating around and clear skies.

    That’s it though for visual dreaming.

    I can remember dreams now because I trained myself to by writing what I can remember down the minute a wake up. Over time I could remember for longer and longer after walking up. This would probably work for OP too if they were interested. Gotta stick to it though.

    Psychedelics don’t give me any closed eyes hallucinations and I need some pretty absurd doses of others or DMT to even see anything slightly weird open eyes. One of my motivations was to see if I could “unlock” the ability. Didn’t work for me :(
