I don't know what setting you've accidentally turned on, but all my browser downloads go to my Downloads folder by default. I'll admit in-app downloads can end up in a few different spots, though. Most in-app picture downloads end up either in Downloads or in a subfolder inside the Pictures folder, though.
Each application can have its own default download location. Reddit apps were particularly bad about that and it may have carried over into lemmy as well. But learning the settings for the software you want to use isn't a terrible ask.
Everything does not go there, different file types seem to go to different places. Successful downloads don't ever appear sometimes.
idk man, sounds like a skill issue
Do I press download differently? There shouldn't be skill in the default download location.
yes you gotta press it on the right spot...
