Reddit is just a Karen now

Lemmy say that uses AGPL, so any changes to the code must be publicly available.

There was any research made for this video?
Cleary there wasn't.

  • There are more apps for Reddit than Apollo
  • The protest didn't stop after 48h, is still going
  • Admins forces subreddits to re-open
  • Subreddits mods where replaced
  • Subsreddits change tactics to protest
  • There's a bunch of more apps for Android than there are for iOS
  • Didn't mention what subreddit was u/spez moderator in 2008

Hope not, instances should block Threads instead.
Meta/Facebook could use that to harvest more data, and Meta isn't known for privacy.

And Thread trolls spamming the fediverse also not a good ideia.

Not only that but for each video on YouTube there are different versions for each resolution. So if you upload a 1080p video, it gets converted to 1080p AVC/VP9, 720p AVC/VP9, 480p... also for the audio.

If you run youtube-dl -F <youtube url> you will see different formats.

And much less accessible, login required, phone number, a ton of system resources. And a privacy nightmare.

DivX

Unless you're Trump and try to build a social network based on opensource software, and say that you made it.

It's a good idea, instead of "please join Lemmy/kbin", just share posts and people get more interested on what is this

Not for who lives in Australia

If it converts every video in realtime it will require a lot of CPU per server, it's cheaper to store multiple copies. Also the average video isn't more than some 300MB, less if it's lower quality.

Anyone with Plex or Jellyfin knows that it's better to have the same movie in both qualities (1080,720) the transconding to avoid CPU usage.

It's possible to have fast transconding with GPUs, but with high so many users on youtube that will require a lots of power and high energy prices, store is cheaper.

Same but I use Syncthing instead

Infinity is still working!

  • announce it some weeks early so communities have time to organize
  • don't do it on August, many people on vacation.

After a long scroll, finally found a comment with a proper link

The app is still using the dev API token, the dev didn't revoke the token and created a new one for the API changes.
If it's abandoned the app will continue to work.

Ah yes the Samsung and their bloatware.
On S23 is almost 60GB https://www.neowin.net/news/heres-the-apparent-truth-behind-the-60gb-android-os-on-galaxy-s23/

That's why when a look for a phone, always research if there's custom ROMs for it, AOSP based.

I control what's on the phone, not otherwise

Setup some RSS bots to auto-post news on your instance.

Hosting videos requires a lot of storage, before reddit hosting images/videos most used services where imgur, streamable, gifycat...

On small instances hosting videos could be an issue with storage and bandwidth, hosting externally is always a best option

I'm an old age redditor, and that was may reddiquette, "don't downvote just because you don't like the topic, maybe other people find it interesting".

Mostly I don't downvote at all, only on some rude or spam posts.

Reddit just become something where everyone downvote everything for no reason, even if just say "OK" ou "that's cool"!
On Lemmy (ate least for now), not so much or I don't see it.

If you see a post "orange is the best color", don't downvote just because you don't like orange, leave a comment and express your opinion instead

PS: There's an old Reddiquette song, the same can be applied to fediverse

You can also send mails from gmail to yahoo with registering on yahoo.

That's how internet was born, people are just rediscovering that platforms don't need to be controlled by one single company

Im not the dev, but the iOS wasn't released yet, there's only the instructions how to buid it. Check it again in a few days

Trying to browse Lemmy and 1 of 3 posts is about Reddit, and none of them are on !reddit@lemmy.ml or !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml
Lemmy for now is just a circlejerk about Reddit.

Made some posts about reddit on those communities and other news on others, but I see Reddit posts everywhere from c/tech to c/lennyworld, mods should review their rules and start redirecting posts

See this before deleting https://youtu.be/mfZKkUg8jgM
Reddit is restoring deleted posts (and probably comments)

It was, Reddit was opensource, but they change that

https://m.slashdot.org/story/330779

There's an issue about it https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1227

If you link !community@instance.tld the URL should be c/community@instance.tld, instead ate the moment the URL is https://instance.tld/c/community

There are some forks trying to make that easier, like this one https://github.com/KhoalaS/Infinity-For-Reddit

With Prowlarr or Jackett you can use it with (almost) any other site, or you can use RSS feeds

Not related to selfhosted but OK.

Don't know about such software for Windows, but if you run Windows on a virtual machine on Linux, like virt-manager/libvirt you can add the USB as a local SSD.
Virt-manager isn't the most user friendly, but have a lot of features

So they work with user keys but not with developer keys!
If you try RedReader, which is official supported by Reddit for accessibility you can't see NSFW subs

So, just another normal day in US

r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen

So, reddit promotes piracy an child porn (u/spez mod of r/jailbait)

Next step mods should make their subreddits NSFW, so they don't show on r/all and r/popular

It's only for Pixel phones

Spambots or girls trying to sell their onlyfans

For now lemmy or the website on browser are the best option, but there's some in development like Thunder
https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
https://lemmy.world/c/thunder_app

Other Reddit developers (RedReader, Infinity) said they are willing to make their apps work with Lemmy, but will take some time
