I have a practical but niche answer to this. This is actually a bit of a wall of text but tldr: Not quite a power-user. Got 1.5k tabs, Bookmarks and Browser history lack proper system and contextual integration, are a poor experience to review, navigate, categorize for me, and many integrations make tabs effortless to work with, group up, and accumulate. Looking a bit into other systems and I can definitely see benefits but what I have works pretty well for me.

I'm not as much of a poweruser but I generally will have between 800 and 1,500 tabs open on my desktop with Floorp which is a Firefox fork with native web app support and a bunch of neat customization features. This is mainly because I find history and bookmarking features to be rather inconvenient to maintain especially for deep internet rabbitholes and complex projects that can have multiple topics or differing levels of priority to reference. Firefox and Floorp allow users to instantly search through their tabs using the search bar and this tends to be very helpful although I also will like to have older versions of websites cached or loaded locally so I can make comparisons, review through collections of tasks and their related segments which I have previously worked on, or see how homepages and different segments of the web have adapted as a whole or personalized for me over time. I can basically have my own pocket of the Internet curated for me which I don't need to go out of my way to find or maintain.

Now something to note is that it's a surprisingly efficient process, Most of the tabs themselves don't need to actually be active in memory with the browser in total generally using less than 8 gigabytes of ram and under 10% of my cpu when active. I have plenty of tab management extensions, Floorp provides a scroll bar at the top for multi-row tabs, Flow Launcher (ridiculously powerful search tool which can be run as a system-wide programmable hotkey.) within Windows has integration both for checking existing tabs and instantly opening new ones. It's pretty slick except when my browser is first rebuilding after a full reboot as that can take around two minutes to complete from disk.

I think the main thing at least for me is just that other resources and tools (Been looking into the raindrop bookmark manager.) might be more efficient for me to learn in the long run but I tend to be working on dozens of projects at once anyways and actively going out of my way to adapt to a new system like that would be counterproductive in the moment where it counts.

Hope this has been a helpful and insightful look into my process. I could probably attach screenshots or video later although I feel like this is sufficient as-is.

There are a few repos where it might actually be possible if you are willing to tinker and accept the very high risk of getting banned. Specifically the ViaBedrock library and the ViaProxy application. Right now, These tools are highly experimental and serve more like advanced world viewers rather than ways to legitimately play on servers but they also work on bedrock realms as well. Worth giving a try if you know what you are getting into, Was going to make a video on this rabbit hole although I massively overcomplicated what I wanted to share with that project. Especially with figuring out bedrock server world archival, ReplayMod, and a ton of other stuff with the Lifeboat featured server I'm a big supporter of.

I either select "All" or "Local" on occasion and don't really pay attention to how those categories are filtered. The main challenge I see right now is that there is a lot of content not available or translated in English which leads me to blocking communities that otherwise have interesting and valuable discussion.

Plus there are challenges with figuring out how to find stuff that is new and insightful besides the regular defaults on the feed but perhaps part of that is simply because of not posting enough and being part of the experience.

Thanks for sharing about this, That's really quite a cool and inspiring story to hear regarding the development of the platform and specifically the nature of the people and connections who made it possible. It might have been a bit of a risk but it seems unlikely that the platform would have scaled as well without outside help.

I agree, It reminds me a lot of what Mastodon instances I've seen were like shortly after Elon Musk bought Twitter with that being the main thing hooking me into the fediverse despite the fact that I've never used Twitter. Thankfully those communities did develop and mature over time although it took a while for people to move towards unique types of posts and conversations. I believe the same can apply here with Beehaw and Lemmy although we need to be the ones to help foster the change we want to see.

That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.
