What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success. Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight...

Are cross-post allowed? Didn't realized this community existed and it is more fitting to post a question relating to books here then there.

What book(s) has changed your life?

What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success.

Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear how people's life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress.

TIA 🙏

How do I block "suggested for you" posts on Facebook?

I hope this is the right place to post.

I need to use Facebook for work and it's an account I made that originally I wasn't going to add anyone. But ended up having coworkers adding me so I post once in awhile, mostly work related to seem social so I can move up and around the company. I can just get on whenever I need something work related but I've realized, I should "network" by looking at others posts and liking it and whatnot. But I'm so annoyed by all these spam, and the fact that the news feed aren't in order. Ugh.

I've got ad blocker. I don't have the fb app. I use the website on my Firefox mobile browser.

Is there any way to block all posts that isn't from people I know?

Update: Thanks for the suggestion of Friendly app. It works! Hopefully I get push notifications too so I don't keep missing opportunities on group postings. No, I cannot stop using fb when all work stuff are in multiple groups that I need to make my life simpler. And no, I don't use a computer at work or have a work phone.

These are the privacy permissions that you grant for Meta's new twitter competitor
  • 😟 Shiettt, do I have to delete my Instagram account? I only use it to stay "connected" to old friends. What about using the Instander app which is what I use to access Instagram? Is it still the same privacy invasion?

  • What's wrong with using a browser to view Lemmy? Seems like a lot of posts are about best apps for Lemmy. Am I missing out on something by not using an app?

    First post. Majorly a lurker on reddit, and now that I've switched to Lemmy, most likely will continue to stay a lurker.

    I know I can download and try all the apps to see what the difference is but I'm curious as to how many people just use their web browser or mobile browser?

    Since I'm new, I have no interest to figure out what apps would work for me as all my time is used to figuring out Lemmy, and absorbing the contents.

    Would it be a better experience to use any app to learn how to use and navigate Lemmy? The idea of using multiple apps at the same time to find what I like more seems overwhelming.

    Edit: typo
