I’ve never heard of setting up a search keyword like that; looks kind of like a Unix alias. How do you do that?

Depends on the browser. In FF it's part of a bookmark. In Chrom* it;s under search engines. more info

I am used to google searching “[THING] site:reddit.com”

Might pick a few good representative instances on lemmy, mastodon, etc, then make a compound search:

site:lemmy.ml OR site:mastodon.social [thing]

then set up a search keyword like fs for it so you could type fs [thing]

I composed that comment in another thread, tabbed away, and when I tabbed back the pending comment was pasted into this thread that I wasn't even reading. Hit POST before I noticed it. 2nd time that's happened this morning.

Tangentially-related, perhaps: I'm a member of a subreddit that went from ~20,000 to over 2 million while I've been there. The increased quantity was fine, but the quality of postings cratered.

It had been a forum for people who did a particular thing, then suddenly 95% of the posters were dreamers/tirekickers who saw influencer YT/Insta content and came in to ask the same spoonfeedy questions over and over. Five minutes reading the sub would answer the FAQs, but no.

In order to keep my blood pressure under control I focus on specific technical areas and reply only to those that seem to be able/willing to understand.

I suspect people would pay $20/year for YT with no ads and better functionality (specifically the ability to mute/block particular channels and commenters).

No doodles, but when I had physical books I would I highlight and make comments in the margins.

In ebooks I use the highlight/addnote functionality.

Understand what you really want, then move toward it.
