Not exactly new to Lemmy, but my search-fu has been noobish at best.

Lemm.ee would be shutting down at the end of this month, and while I've already moved to a new instance, I'm yet to do any archiving on my posts and comments. Is there an automated way to save my posts and comments.

Ideally, I'd want the archive to be:

  • a full copy of all the posts including
    • the full OP text
      • any embedded images will be saved and included in the OP
      • outward links are left as is
    • all of the comments, including any deleted ones (deleted by the user and deleted by mods/admins)
  • a full copy of the comments including
    • the full OP text of the thread in which the comment is made
    • the full tree up to the top-level comment
    • optionally including any deleted comments in this tree

Is this already a thing? I don't think I have the skills and the time to make one before June 23 (one week before the instance shuts down on June 30), so that is not an option. I doubt anyone can make it upon short notice either.

Is there any other method I can do this without resorting to manual saving? And if I have no choice other than to save each and every post and comment manually? How should I be doing it?

If anyone can suggest anywhere else I can crosspost this for better visibility, that will be welcome as well.

Seven. Some of them are from National Library of Luxembourg, National Library of New Zealand, Finland Web Harvest, Custom Crawl Services, Archive Bot, and Archive Team.

Seems like some entities regularly do a massive crawl of websites in an effort to archive them.

Don't use Voyager that often, but you're currently +4

Diagnosed BIpolar 1, mostly depressive, but sometimes manic.

I am deathly afraid of the manic episodes that I've got some fear of "being too happy". I'd rather deal with the lows (even the lowest of the low) because at least with those, I can trust myself to lack the energy to be destructive. I am fairly confident that in my lowest, I won't even have the energy to commit suicide even if I want to.

Mania is a very different beast altogether. It might manifest on a spectrum from "just too wired up for sleep" to, in a couple of really badly unmanaged episodes, going off to an entirely different part of the country on a whim just because "who cares, I'm dying anyways?" Only through sheer luck did I manage to get home safe both times.

That said, honest self-awareness, honesty to the mental health professionals, and sticking to the treatment plan could make it manageable. It's no guarantee, but it helps.

It also helps to manage expectations: the treatment won't be on target especially on the first states, while the doctors adjust the medication and the dosage, deal with the side effects, etc. Some kind of faith in the process is necessary, I think--not blind trust, but trust that if you inform the doctors honestly any effects (side effects or not) to the best of your abilities, then the doctors can manage the condition better than if you think "I feel fine, the meds aren't needed anymore!"

The treatment--the management of the condition is likely to last until the very end, and that's fine.

About being in a relationship? It's really up to the person and their partner: I wouldn't trust myself to go on in a relationship without at least informing my partner about it--and keeping them up to date with "my mood weather report". However it probably takes experience, a few cycles to get used to it.

I tried Zen for a while during the peak of its hype, and it's fine. It's too "Apple" for my taste though, with limited UI customization. It's opinionated, and I quite like the overall look, but it just felt off to me. It's nice to look at, but a bit off to use.

Oh, the name and the icon are probably the only things I am actually displeased with in Floorp. I wanted to change the icon for my system too (or just use a more generic "firefox fork browser" logo for it to contrast with my ungoogled Chromium one--but I abandoned it after finding it troublesome (skill issue on my end).

But hey, beyond the icon and the iffy name, it fits my needs, so it stays.

I actually had this trajectory: Vanilla Firefox -> (manually) hardened Firefox -> Librewolf -> Floorp

I wasn't actually displeased with Librewolf, but I found it a bit sparse when it comes to customization. I am aware that I'm trading customization with security when I made the last jump, but given my opsec situation, I don't think I am being careless with switching to Floorp, and it has some decent security defaults, so I stuck with it.

Everyone else's usecases may vary and even Floorp with its customization options isn't for everyone. That's the beauty of Firefox and its forks, if you ask me. There's likely something for everyone--and for some, Firefox might be it.

No one mentioned Floorp yet, so I guess it's on me.

It's Firefox, but with more customization options right out of the box. I also have an ungoogled Chromium on standby for those sites unwilling to work well with Firefox (and forks).


EDIT:

Oh, it's mentioned in the OP:

  • Floorp: A random find from exploring Linux for the first time. I was running Pop!_OS and found it on the store. I’ve never experienced such a smooth Firefox fork before. It really is barebones, but has a lot of customization built in. Instead of the custom options piling on one another, most of them change how it works on a foundational level. The style of your UI and tabs, side tabs, fading URL bar buttons, and a lot more. At it’s core, Floorp is a stripped down and security first FF fork developed in Japan. I took the time to translate the TOS pages, and most of it is promising that there is no data collection. It’s fairly vetted and trusted from what I’ve researched.

I was thinking of those composite names too, like Juan Miguel Archangel (John Michael Archangel) but the person having such a name would just choose at most two and would introduce themselves as John, or Michael, or Miguel.

And it only gives you the votes you give while using Voyager. If you're using Lemmy via other platforms (like desktop/laptop) or other apps, of course it won't give you the full picture.

Can't remember exactly why I put a profile picture here, but I guess I was thinking "oh, someone might use the same username I use in some other instance, so I guess I'll put something to differentiate."

Whether or not that actually hurts my own statement, I'll leave it for the others to decide. I think posting/comment volume + striking username (and profile picture) + unique voice = recognizability. I think only have one of three, so... IDK!
