Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it (lemmy.cafe)

The worst part is bookmarks are sorted by post creation date, not date bookmarked.

So if you bookmark something old, it’s gone in the bookmark chasm.

This has given me an absolute aneurysm. I saved something to show the wife only for it to not be there when I went looking. I found the post the long way and sure enough it was still saved.

Maube it was a glitch....

Unsave and resave. still can't find it. rinse and repeat.

Eventually found out about the saving order quirk and sure enough all the way at the bottom was the saved post in question.

On behalf of the less tech savvy lemurs: you all are awesome.

Gaah, that's why?!?

I think categories/topics would be great as well. Maybe a collection for read later, tech, news etc. So i could sort them better.

Boost app is the solution to this problem

I'd be curious how boost solved it. It is impossible retrieve saved posts/comments by saved date in the Lemmy API. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3229

Well shit you're right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn't noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad
