  • There is no good way really.
    Lemmy’s search is pretty lackluster. You will have a hard time finding what you are looking for, unless you are searching for something verbatim, and if your query contains common words…Good luck. It also has no search operators.

    When it comes to search engines, only google is somewhat usable (from my experience), but it’s very much hit or miss. Sometimes you will be able to find the post, just by typing lemmy [post title or part of it], but it will almost never be in the top results.
    And most of the time , first result is Reddit…


    You can try using https://fedi-search.com

    It basically just uses this query for “more accurate search” [search query] (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join-lemmy")

    And this one for normal search [search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:lemm.ee OR site:hexbear.net OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.de OR site:kbin.social OR site:mastodon.social OR site:mastodon.cloud OR site:mstdn.social OR site:mastodon.online OR site:mastodon.world OR site:libre.video OR site:video.antopie.org)

    Which is not just for lemmy, as you can see

     

    Here is the search query I made for the top 35 lemmy instances (by active users) based on this: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

    [your search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemm.ee OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:hexbear.net OR site:lemmy.ca OR  site:programming.dev OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.org OR site:lemmy.blahaj.zone OR site:discuss.tchncs.de OR site:lemmygrad.ml OR site:sopuli.xyz OR site:lemmy.sdf.org OR site:lemmy.zip OR site:beehaw.org OR site:infosec.pub OR site:aussie.zone OR site:feddit.nl OR site:midwest.social OR site:feddit.uk OR site:slrpnk.net OR site:reddthat.com OR site:lemmy.one OR site:jlai.lu OR site:pawb.social OR site:lemmy.kya.moe OR site:lemmy.today OR site:startrek.website OR site:feddit.it OR site:mander.xyz OR site:ttrpg.network OR site:lemmings.world OR site:ani.social OR site:feddit.org)
    

    In SearXNG u can use !lepo to search lemmy posts but it’s basically just lemmy’s search.




  • From my experience, in chrome browsers, tap and hold context menu will differ in some cases (I’m not exactly sure depending on what), but sometimes you will have the option copy link address which will copy just the image link, and in other cases you will only have share image option which I personally never use.
    It seems like share image option copies the image into the clipboard and if you choose to include the link, it will also paste the link bellow (link to the page where you copied the image from, and not the direct link to the image, it seems like). And that will work (including the link) only if you share the image to a specific app. If you choose copy image option from the share menu, it will only copy the image to clipboard without the link, even if you choose to include the link as well.
    So in such cases you would have to long tap on the image, open image in new tab and then copy the link from the url bar, which is how I always done it, but it is pretty stupid that you can’t copy only the link from that share menu.
    Maybe there is some other way that I don’t know of ¯\(ツ)

    In firefox browser you will always have the option to copy image location, which will copy just the image link, I’m not sure about other browsers.


  • I was just messing with the settings and this is what worked for me…

    In Heliboard settings:

    • Set the language to your native language.
      You may have to download and add the dictionary for your native language. For my native language it was missing, so it asked me to add it.
    • Turn on the multilingual typing option for English.

    In system settings:

    Go to Spell Checker settings (you can search that term in system settings, for me it was in Languages & Input > Tools category > Spell Checker)

    • You want to enable the spell checker if it isn’t already.
    • Set languages to your native language.
    • Set the default spell checker to Heliboard.

  • Fair enough. It’s nice to have something that just works out of the box and doesn’t need much configuration, for sure.
    And even though most points you have mentioned are actually doable in OBS, they need additional setup/configuration or a plugin. But I personally don’t mind that, and in most cases I prefer that, especially granular configuration of video settings.








  • I think the only way to show the icon on the status bar with tasker is using the notification (notify task) and giving it an icon.

         Profile: Detect Auto-rotation setting change
        	Event: Custom Setting [ Type:System Name:accelerometer_rotation Value:* ]
        
        
        
        Enter Task: Un-notify if autorotate off
        
        A1: Custom Setting [
             Type: System
             Name: accelerometer_rotation
             Read Setting To: %arstat ]
        
        A2: Notify Cancel [
             Title: ar ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 0 ]
        
        A3: Notify [
             Title: ar
             Icon: mw_device_screen_rotation
             Number: 0
             Priority: 3
             LED Colour: Red
             LED Rate: 0 ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 1 ]
        
           
    

    You can set the notification to silent.
