I fear we're going the idiocracy route. Lower and lower intelligence of the population in general.

The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.

I'm going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!

I'm realizing that a few weeks ago I wanted a lot of people to flock to Lemmy and away from Reddit. At this point I just don't think about Reddit anymore and find myself hoping Lemmy doesn't get too popular because of everything that comes with that (trolls, meme posters, bots)

There's currently a bug with "hot" and "active" where old posts remain at the top. I don't remember the details but it's getting fixed in v.0.18 (which is already in release candidate 4).

There are two solutions until the fix is released:

  • get your server admin to reboot the server everyone in a while. This seems to temporarily refresh the content.
  • use "new" or "top day". That's what I've been doing.

If I'm not mistaken, you can download your logs directly from the dashboard under manage > troubleshooting.

Is it giving you any kind of on-screen message? What about the logs? Is this Direct Play or Transcoding?

I know some players don't handle HDR very well, but that's usually related to bad tonemapping.

How does Proton VPN compare to Mullvad? I've been using them for years and they really are anonymous. You don't even provide an email to create your account.

I'm not too sure which story is true. I'll stick to both sites as a reference to be safe.

I believe it's related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.

I believe that's the story if I recall correctly.

Your second to last point really rings in for me. You'd think with all the posts and traffic on Lemmy that there would be ad clutter or push for other internal paid brands, but it's just so clean and only about the posts and comments.

Those are great! Nicely done. It's little things like that that they can really appreciate sometimes.

Now I want to get an MMU for my prusa 🤦‍♂️

Also a Plex lifetime user. I tried jellyfin not too long ago to see what the fuss was all about. I had heard that they handled her tonemapping better.

The interface is different but more or less just as good as Plex. It's definitely more for the person that likes to dive in the details of the config of their server. For example, you need to setup your own domain for external users to connect to. It's not done automatically like on Plex.

The focus on your content vs the "free" content Plex shoves in our face is nice I must admit.

Just a question of preference. In the end I stuck it out with Plex... For now.

I've spun up a new instance and understood that there would be no initial communities under All.

I know I needed to search for a community to get the federation to get started, but do I need to search for every community for the to appearing the list?

The servers been up for almost 24 hours and I still only have the 2 communities I searched for in the list.

EDIT: Found my answer. Seems like each new community needs to be searched.
