  • Sadly, yes.

    RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.

    Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.





  • I too had this problem recently during my first Linux test drive.

    The network set up you’re describing is actually the process for setting up your device as a hotspot, not to connect to the Internet.

    As mentioned here elsewhere, it’s a driver issue. You have two choices:

    1. Download drivers to the USB drive and update the WiFi chip.
    2. Easier: connect your phone’s hotspot by Bluetooth connection from the device instead. Then run the update manager to bring in everything that’s missing.

    After this you should be able to click the system tray network icon and just pick your WiFi connection/router of choice like you’d normally expect to be there.







  • I see this as a bug. It’s reasonable to expect RSS feeds per grouping of posts showing under an account profile (posts, comments, saved, etc). Posts and comments are covered, but not Saved.

    So either the feed icon should be removed to avoid confusion or, better, RSS for Saved should be added (on par with Reddit in that way).

    Did you ever file it as an issue? I can’t seem to find a reference to it on the GitHub page.

    I am a user, not someone running an instance of Lemmy so I don’t feel I can file and support it at the level that would be expected.
