  • I think the main thing I like is that it fits so seamlessly within my workflow. I can customize the functions I use to happen the way I want them to.

    It has the same functions as the default app:

    • ability to take screenshots of all or part of a screen (with/without timer)
    • ability to take a screen recording of all or part of a screen (with/without a timer)

    But it also provides options for:

    • adding simple markup to your screenshot (lines/arrows/text/squares etc). As a developer, I often want to take a screenshot and add a bit of text or an arrow to highlight something to someone I’m trying to explain something to
    • ability to do scrolling screen captures
    • recording in MP4
    • trimming screen recording videos
    • removing or including audio in screen recording videos
    • recording animated GIFs instead of video
    • reducing resolution (for filesize) after capture
    • hide desktop icons during screen capture
    • change/hide desktop background wallpaper during capture
    • options to customize shortcut keys for various operations, or customize workflow (for example I like screenshots to be automatically added to my clipboard after capture or markup so I can immediately paste in whatever chat I’m having with colleagues)
    • options for keeping a history of screenshots/recordings
    • options (I don’t use) for cloud share/storage






  • Yes.

    I use this website to find other communities that I might be interested in.

    https://browse.feddit.de/

    Then you can search for the community using the Lemmy web interface or whatever client app you use (I assume it’s Voyager).

    I’m not 100% sure, but I think you need to type the community you want to search for, in the form:

    !community_name@instance_name

    On Voyager/wefwef (and probably other apps) it seems to work if I leave the “!” off.

    You can browse the community, and subscribe to it from there.

    Note: if the instance you’re signed into, doesn’t have anyone who is already subscribed to that community/instance, then it might take a little while, as your instance is searching the various instances it federates with to find the community…. So be patient. If you subscribe to it, of course, then it’s much faster (at least that’s my crude understanding).
