    Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.

    I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I’m looking for will be able to find it from my post.

    I have little to no intention of further referencing that post

      How are there only 2 arduino posts in the Arduino Lemmy? Are there no other Lemmys for microcontrollers?

    That and not being able to be notified when there are new replies to a topic (you are only notified if some repplies to something you wrote.) That means you read something and have to go back to it regularly to see if there are new replies. That doesn’t work at all.

      I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it’s been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I’ll get back to eventually).

        Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don’t interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do
