I’ve been trying out the DuckDuckGo browser lately on mobile. It uses the Chromium backend, so some sites work better in it than in my normal Firefox.

The neatest feature of the browser is the ability to generate random email addresses in signup forms, and those emails all get forwarded to your real email address. As it forwards the emails, it removes trackers from them. You can click a link in one of the forwarded emails to disable that address from being forwarded any more if it gets spammy.

I didn’t know for years that this is an episode of a show called Infomercials which you can watch on Max. The first 5 or so episodes are spoofs of actual infomercials, but then it goes off the wall with episodes like this one. Highly recommended!

You don’t even know how to spell Hollywood. This is a well researched meme.

Federation already solves the issue you have. If every user subscribed to every instance of /c/cats, then they would all see every post and could comment on each of them. There’s nothing gained by having another level of federation other than making it slightly easier to subscribe to all of them at once.

Personally, I’d rather see user-controlled “multireddits”, but better. You group together any number of communities and give the group a name. Then make it easy to publish the group as a link that others can view and import into their account.

All we really need is any easy way for people to subscribe to multiple instance of “cats” with one tap. (And to unsubscribe just as easily). I think the best way to do this is with user-driven, sharable community groups.

For example, I could make a group that includes “cats”, “kittens”, “jellybean toes”, “cat photos”, “cat bellies”, “chonkers”, and whatever else. They don’t even need to have the same name. Then I can share that somewhere. Mods could put popular groupings in sidebars. Fediverse websites could have whole lists of popular groupings.

Plus you could have an additional feature: Lemmy could let you view one of your groups as a feed, just like you currently can view “Subscribed”, “Local”, or “Everything”. Sometimes you just want to see cat photos and not be bothered by world news or politics.

But then you have all the same federation politics and drama at the community level like we do at the instance level. It’d be such a mess.

Just make it easier for users to subscribe to each instance of a community with one tap. And let them view them all grouped in one feed.

And better yet, let people combine any communities together into a personal group; not just ones with the same name. There’s no need to get mods involved at all. I wrote more about this in another comment.

Thrown weapons are supposed to be subpar because ranged attacks are very powerful due to being one-sided. They shouldn’t be as good as melee ever.

I do like upgrading the boomerang. I’ll use the Troll Blacksmith to combine two of them, and then spend one upgrade scroll on it. Then it basically has unlimited uses. It’s really fun to get two free hits on distant enemies. You can even bait them into getting hit in the back of the head by the return.

I think having an upgrade scroll permanently give all thrown weapons of one type an upgrade would be fun, but also probably too good. It might be better to have an NPC offer to train you how to better use a certain thrown weapon. Maybe as a quest reward. Maybe for a high fee. And then all ones of that type would be +1. If the fee were fair, don’t limit it to just one type per run. But if this training is too early, you won’t be able to use it on higher tier thrown weapons. If it’s too late, you wouldn’t get to use it as much. Maybe somewhere around dungeon level 15.
