I’m devastated! Holy fuck it’s the end of such a great resource. Is there any other plex share communities active at all?
Just found out about Plex Sharing thanks to your post. sorry I have nothing to add but im also very interested in finding one such servers.
Well unfortunately it’s the worst time to find out about it haha
Reddit destroyed a lot of communities & their own brand in the name of greed & corporate profits. Fuck them straight to hell.
Is there a jellyfin sharing community on lemmy ? I ditched Plex years ago but I’d love to share my jellyfin server with folks.
When looking through some reddit archives, I was able to find these for anyone looking to try one. The posts were from December 2022.

When did this happen?
Don’t they have a fallback like a Discord or even a Lemmy community? If they don’t that’s a pretty stupid move from them IMHO.
I have some videos I might be interested in sharing on a Jellyfin server, as well as interest in viewing videos on someone else’s shared server. I have a question: What options do you have for hardening security-wise? I have the server hosted on a local machine and don’t wanna get pwned if I can help it.
I have my Plex server in docker container that automatically restarts with the latest image once a week. I believe most vulnerabilities will come from outdated software.
Then I have nginx reverse proxying in front, I’m sure there’s additional safeguards I could throw in there but my instance is private.
What happened? Was the subreddit banned?
It was “banned due to being used for spam” by reddit 4 days ago.
I’m still trying to figure out how reddit expects to “become profitable” while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.
Very poor leadership.
Spez was smart enough to realize that there’s value in aggregate votes on text content in specialized niches for training AI, but too dumb to recognize that the owners of that value are the users and moderators and not Reddit corporate, and that the greatest frontend contributions have been by 3rd party developers.
So he complained about “landed gentry” while implicitly suggesting he sees Reddit as a monarchy where he sits on the throne.
Which in turn pushed users and moderators and 3rd party developers to look elsewhere.
It’s the beginning of the end for the site that for a few years now was my pick for “massive untapped and underappreciated value.”
It’s wild that he failed so badly in even just ad sales. Targeting my profile there based on something like a vectordb of comments, posts, and liked content would have been 1,000% more relevant than Google or Meta could have offered advertisers.
But the fool couldn’t even get their basic search to work.
While many comment on how Reddit enhances Google searches, the flip side of that is how insane it is that people go to Google to search Reddit.
Incompetent man child ruins company. A story as old as companies (and part of why “founder driven startups” is such a piss poor model for entrepreneurship).
I never considered that I search google for reddit before. Good point.
“Become profitable” is just their stated goal.
I think that their actual goal is to look profitable for the upcoming ipo so that the CEOs can cash a fat check and leave. They likely don’t care about what happens after that.
So the “become profitable while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable” platitude is more like “they’re cutting down the tree for the wood without thinking about the squirrels”
It’s more like “cutting down the forest to harvest the wood once” rather than “manage the harvesting so that it can be generating wood for generations”. It’s typical capitalism.
But are investors this stupid? Who invests in an IPO without doing research on the company’s activities? If they check the internet and it’s countless articles about how their users and moderators are pissed and leaving, why would anyone think it’s going to be profitable?
The sad thing is that reddit will probably do alright for at least a few years. It may not be an awful investment in the short term.
That said, it’ll slowly burn out and investors will be left holding the bag. But that’s alright, because Steve Huffman will have gotten his payday and retired to the decommissioned missile silo that he converted to luxury apartments in case of doomsday. All he had to do was fundamentally change the way people use the internet by selling the company that his two smart buddies created.
by selling the company that his two smart buddies created.
Fucking preach.
But there are only so many Elon’s that would buy a sinking ship for a shit ton of money.
That’s the dumbest part. There’s no guarantee that this ipo bid is going to pan out. Huffman is betting big, it’s just too bad he’s so full of himself that he doesn’t realize his actions will probably be what causes this ipo to fail.
He wanted to fly under the radar and make changes that look good on paper while keeping the community relatively the same. Instead he made a splash so big that major news outlets are still talking about it months later, and now he’s actively alienating the volunteer work that holds the whole site together.
Greed kills another thing, history of humankind.
Not sure if I’m misunderstanding your comment but… it’s an IPO, they’re going from private to public. Twitter was the opposite, which is unusual. Right now Steve Huffman is the musk of reddit.
They still need people to actually buy the shares of a sinking ship.
There’s gonna be plenty of institutional investors and index funds who don’t give a shit about drama that will buy it up regardless.
For what? To lose money?
I mean, Facebook is also “profitable” but it’s still an utter shitehole content- and community-wise
I still can’t figure out why anybody is using the site whatsoever.
If someone didn’t bother to use 3rd party apps, they probably wouldn’t bother to switch to a whole new platform. Also federated sites are not intuitive and lemmy is scary of you go in without understanding that.
I mean, google lemmy and you don’t get much, its not a .com but rather there’s tons of instances which would just look like fake sites. And the design of the official site doesn’t exactly scream trustworthy. Im pretty tech literate and i had to find a tutorial to join the fediverse.
Im assuming there’s a bunch of folks who just don’t care to put that effort in so they’ll just stick around until it fails to meet their low standards.
I didn’t use 3rd party apps and I’m here bc fuck spez
its not a .com but rather there’s tons of instances which would just look like fake site
Exactly this. A huge amount of the major lemmy instances look like sites I would explain to my non-tech-savvy parents to avoid blindly clicking on, between domains that most browsers don’t even automatically detect as links, and a ton of, frankly, sketchy af names.
It be nice if some private trackers offered a forum section, similar to invite section, that offered advertising these behind a certain rank.
I’m on one that is, behind a PT that you have to like apply and get into after a certain rank on the tracker.
Make one for Lemmy?
Already exists, not active at all. hence are for acting communities.
Now’s the time to advertise it in a thread that has a lot of eyes.
Give us a link. Lets talk about it how awesome plex shares are and encourage others to share their servers 😀
Reddit has been shit, but let’s be honest. That sub was filled to the brim with illegal offers for money. Lawsuits waiting to happen.
feel free to DM me if you need an invite to a good US based one
Spez is so jealous of Elon’s dumpster fire, that he can’t dump the gasoline on his head fast enough.
