Files in the folder containing the rest of the data. Like cutting the folder name in half and having the rest of it as the filename of a .txt file inside it.

Lots of options on Linux.
Maybe as a workaround you could add loose files with the rest of the filename and metadata into the folder, if you’re only dealing with long folder names?

I didn’t need to use the terminal to do that, though. It just didn’t feel right editing a system config file with a GUI text editor.

gallery-dl works great for archiving twitter media. Not sure how useful it’d be on text posts, though.
For me, it’s

Lemmy communities have RSS feeds
Weirdly, Debian currently has a newer version of Xfce than Linux Mint. Not everything on there is out of date.

This isn’t a GNOME-specific thing as other DEs also display files by their file type. It’s all defined by the icon theme.
I’m not sure if there exists an icon theme that replaces the unique filetype icons with specific application icons, but if such a thing does exist, that could be a solution.
You could also edit the icon theme you’re using yourself too, if you’re feeling adventurous. Using the Papirus icon theme, on my system the image representing a python text file is located in
/usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/mimetypes/text-x-python.svg. I could replace that image with anything. I’m not sure why I’d want to do that, but if you really want to replace all these images with an image of VSCodium no one’s gonna stop you.Maybe there’s a script that does this automatically? If such a thing exists, it’ll probably follow the steps I just mentioned.
