That sounds like Xitter. Fortunately, Reddit hasn’t devolved that far… yet.

I think you’re lost :)

This is the piracy community, not the privacy community. For that, check out [email protected]

Too late. For better or for worse, it’s already a meme.

Awesome! Especially love the effort they take to explain federation. We could learn from that…

wat

Where is the screenshot from?

… if it’s ever implemented i’m going to bug db0 to death about making a piefed instance on dbzer0 :D

call it “divisions by 1” ;P

wait, there’s GUIs available for yt-dlp??

I know, but it’s the principle of the thing.
shakes fist at sky

imo we should focus on a statistic on the entire Threadiverse instead of only Lemmy. After all, these software are highly intercompatible, so excluding them doesn’t make sense.

I wish the next four years fly by like the last five.

FediLab also supports PeerTube. No idea why they don’t advertise it, though.

PieFed does that.

Personally, I just pirate the FLAC files from RED, and play them with VLC. Several advantages to this:

• Spotify is owned by a shitty, greedy company with shitty, greedy practices.
• Spotify enforces DRM on almost all its media.
• FLAC files have superior quality as they are lossless
• I can play them offline without a subscription
• Downloads are pretty much instant, as private trackers have insane seeder to leecher ratio

I’m sorry if this isn’t the response you’re looking for, but as other people have already given recommendations for alternatives, I thought I would just give my 2 cents.

• Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
  • YES: Choose mbin.
  • NO:
    • Do you want a native app?
      • YES: Choose Lemmy… for now.
      • NO: Choose PieFed.

I’ve been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I’m on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

• More lightweight to host; imo makes it “more decentralized” since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
• New and innovative features
• Responsive developer
• PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
• I don’t believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.

this is probably the intended method to use mastodon, if you’re trying to follow individual accounts you’re just gonna suffer.

I also found actually taking time to find an instance that you vibe with (in my case, jorts.horse) really helps to keep stuff interesting in your Local timeline. As a bonus, it also furthers decentralization :)
