  • On Eternity for Lemmy, its super easy.

    After the election. I decided I just needed to take a break from the constant stream of negativity. Using these keywords in my post filter has removed political posts almost completely:

    Trump, Kamala, Vance, Walz, Biden, Harris, Donald, Republican, Republicans, Democrat, Democrats, GOP, DNC, MAGA, liberal, conservative, government, court, Military, NATO, Nazi, Election, genocide, fascist, fascism, Twitter, trans, gender, police, cop, cops, abortion, federal, Europe, U.S., American, China, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Russia, Russian, Chinese, Ukraine, Cruz, Thomas,

    I recognize my privilege of being able to ignore these posts temporarily, and hope to come back from my hiatus with the will to do something about our awful political situation.



  • It helped me tremendously in college, and I still use it today, both for past knowledge retention, as well as learning some new things. It is an incredible tool.

    As far as the learning curve goes, I would recommend this: just use it as is. You can dive down a rabbit hole of optimizing your learning approach and adding the right extensions, but that time is better spent just studying what you want to learn.

    Use the Cloze format, keep cards limited to a couple sentences at most, and practice daily for a couple minutes, and you can’t go wrong.
