- muzani 9y agor/Productivity r/GetStudying r/Nootropics r/getdisciplined I remember this job interview once where they asked me my passion and I told them it was, "Productivity." The interviewers replied, "Bullshit," both at the same time. I guess they should have showed them my Reddit.
- whack 9y agoShameless plug: I hate visiting my various favorite subreddits manually, so I built a service that automatically emails their top content to you everyday. https://gitlab.com/whacks/daily-reddit/blob/master/README.md https://gitlab.com/whacks/daily-reddit/blob/master/README.md
- __sharp 9y agoWhy not just use reddit as intended, subscribe to only the subreddits you're interested in? Isn't that the whole point of reddit, to aggregate all the types of content you're interested in?
- whack 9y agoFair question. 1) I dislike the fact that the Reddit aggregator mixes together all the content from the different subreddits. I like having them segregated, with equal "airtime", on a single screen 2) I dislike the fact that I have to manually visit Reddit everyday, in order to "not miss out". If I didn't visit the site yesterday, then I have to make up for it today by sorting by week, instead of day, which will then show me lots of duplicate content which I've already seen. There's no easy way to just get the top content from day-X 3) This is more subtle: Suppose you visit Reddit everyday at noon, during your lunch break, sort by top:day, and then never visit it again for the rest of the day. This means that you will never see any posts which were posted in the couple hours before noon, because they haven't had sufficient time to rack up the votes. You can miss out on a significant amount of content this way
- lanius 9y agoI just found out about this recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/ilikthebred/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ilikthebred/ The premise is poems written in intentionally misspelled and simple English to mimic animals' inner thoughts. I find them quite whimsical. I wonder if this would be done the same way in other languages?

- EnderMB 9y agoAs a British person, one of my favourites lately is: https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/ With all the doom and gloom in the UK at the moment, it's nice to go somewhere on Reddit and talk about what supermarket has the best meal deal, dodgy crisp flavours, and excellent examples of queuing.
