My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

There doesn’t need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn’t used to be so damn consolidated.

I don’t give one shit about “Lemmy vs. Reddit”. I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.

I’ve settled on:

• FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
• FiveFilters Full Text extractor
• rss-proxy site scraper

I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I’ve run into a couple sites it doesn’t scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.
