Sometimes I come accross a comment that provides really good insight about a topic, and I want to keep it around. The problem is that the save feature on Lemmy/Reddit just creates one massive pile of hundreds of comments. This defeats the point of saving it because when I later encounter the topic that it related to, I’d still have to dig through this massive pile to be able to find it – so the save feature has in fact not made it any more accessible. I feel like someone on the internet must have surely worked out how to catalog these snippets of text in a way that allows you to quickly find the ones relevant to what you’re currently doing. Perhaps some sort of tagging/mind map system? What do you use? I have considered Google Keep but my Keep is already a mess as is.
I use the view comment source option and copy the entire comment, then paste it into a note in Joplin.
That way I can choose which note it goes into (like folders) for organization, and I have control over my saved stuff.
I already lost all my lemmy saved stuff (posts and comments) once a month or two ago and I’ve been using lemmy for less than a year.
So using Joplin keeps them safe too
