They have a much bigger catalogue outside of English, I believe

!diy@beehaw.org !diy@slrpnk.net !diy@lemmy.ml etc.

Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.

Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

This is not a technical support community.

(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)

Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.

My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.

The men around them.

I’m committed to open source (or at the very least indie dev) more than to a single platform.

• For my Mastodon feed, so I don’t have to open yet another app
• For my Youtube and Nebula subscriptions, same
• For a few FB pages & others that post events, same
• For my Lemmy feed, same
• For all my news feeds (curated, usually) for a quick look at everything
• For my friends’ posts so I know I won’t miss a single one

I currently use the premium plan for Inoreader. I like tinyRSS, just didn’t do it for me; I’ve been using RSS since Google Reader.

For RSS feed recommendations you can also take inspiration from this post: https://beehaw.org/post/618286

that’s really cool, thanks!

For tech zeroes like me, this is what I did:

• Install Python
• Download ZIP (top-right corner of the linked Github file)
• Extract the .py file from the ZIP
• Double-click the .py file

Being LGBTQ+, or not white, or not a man, or disabled.

Well:

• I’m annoyed at calling people who dislike an app and choose another website “refugees”
• I’m happy that we’re going to have more activity
• I hope more instances will be built and maintained, because I don’t think the large number of new members can be moderated effectively if they keep flocking to the same handful of instances
• When in doubt, I hope moderators will be too strict rather than not enough, especially in the beginning to make sure the behavioural expectations are very clear

Do you federate with Beehaw? I have a 404 every time I look for a blahaj.zone community from Beehaw :(

• Wayback Machine archives every page I visit on the Internet Archive.

Fediverse extensions:

• FediAct allows me to boost, reply to, follow, etc. on any Mastodon instance without having to open the right link in my own instance. I wish there was something like this for Lemmy and Peertube.

• PeerTubeify tries to check if a YouTube video you’re watching is also on PeerTube
