    Sadly, yes.

    RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.

    Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.

    Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

    You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

    Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

    Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

    Yes exactly, a game changer for me as well.

    I used to use tap water too. I have to highlight why distilled or boiled water is important though. Tap water isn’t sterile and there have been cases of microbes creating infections when used with Neti pots.

    Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that has been linked to tap water usage in Neti pots, among other scenarios.

    These cases are rare, to be fair, but still worth avoiding with distilled or boiled water. There could be other less fatal microbes junking things up, after all.

    I gotta clarify, boiled but then cooled water for use in your Neti pots!

    I have nasal congestion due to allergies every morning so here’s some advice that might help you.

    You can try a Neti pot morning and night. The NeilMed ones at Costco pharmacies are good.

    Use distilled water or boil your own for 1-3 minutes depending on the elevation in the area.

    Once the packets run out you can measure 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp non-iodized salt (e.g. sea salt).

    For prescriptions, Omnaris might work for you too. Gets things moving and doesn’t have the congestive rebound effect that over-the-counter nasal decongestants do.

    All the other advice about controlling allergens is on point too. You can try an anti-histamine (e.g. Aerius) for a week to see if your congestion goes away but allergy meds dry you out a bit by design and gum you up so maybe this won’t have the effect you’re seeking.

    You can get a sleep study for apnea but I’d say only if you’ve had actual fatigue related symptoms, not just what you’ve described here.

    You could get a breath test for your lungs. Maybe there’s mold at your place. That tightness should be enough reason to get checked out, tbh.

    Best of luck!

    I see this as a bug. It’s reasonable to expect RSS feeds per grouping of posts showing under an account profile (posts, comments, saved, etc). Posts and comments are covered, but not Saved.

    So either the feed icon should be removed to avoid confusion or, better, RSS for Saved should be added (on par with Reddit in that way).

    Did you ever file it as an issue? I can’t seem to find a reference to it on the GitHub page.

    I am a user, not someone running an instance of Lemmy so I don’t feel I can file and support it at the level that would be expected.
