When feddit.de crashed down after the Admin went to North Korea for a business trip, the community decided to build feddit.org on stronger shoulders.
Woah, I feel like you skipped out on some big details there. What happened? Or is there a post with some more details?
OP is on dbzer0, but they posted to a Lemmy.world community.
Additional context from his pinned comment to that video:
I’ve been away from internet all day and it sounds like I got my hands on a couple of bootleg/counterfeit sets here! That’s neat. Love that. I’m going to leave this video up as it is because the overall lesson here remains mostly the same - but I am embarrassed this thought never occurred to me, especially with The Good Place Blu-rays. I honestly thought a Blu-ray release of that show would be niche enough that a run of pressed discs wouldn’t be justified and didn’t question it. I’ve not been paying attention to physical media for nearly a decade so I’ve missed some memos and made one too many assumptions!
Next up, we’ll have to change terminology for “parents” and “children” once they find out how we use those terms with memory management.
A lot of users will recommend different services to replace YouTube. In my opinion, the best thing you can do is use GrayJay.
You’ll be able to use any of the services (PeerTube, Odysee, Nebula, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Rumble, Dailymotion, Bitchute, etc.).
Then all you have to do is follow those that you usually do, but you’ll be able to find them on any alternative service (if they use them).
Also works with Arbok -> “Kobra”
The best way to handle transitioning from YouTube is to use GrayJay. Follow creators that you like and when any of them have a platform on a different service, subscribe to them there.
Besides YouTube, it supports any PeerTube instance, Patreon, Twitch, Nebula, Odysee, Rumble, Dailymotion, Ted Talks, etc.
I joined the fediverse when Reddit made their API changes.
For me, personally, I found Kbin/Mbin to be a sort of hybrid between Twitter and Reddit, and I wasn’t a fan of the layout. Lemmy felt a lot more like the Reddit-like experience I was looking for.
However, PieFed then came along and it feels like Reddit, but has features that cater to the Fediverse much better than Lemmy does (such as being able to combine communities into feeds, crosspost handling,), as well as other features that are great (polls, spoiler blur for image posts, etc.).
I don’t remember the exact search, but it had something to do with Star Citizen. A link to a post from that Lemmy.world community was fairly high on a DuckDuckGo search result.
Along with a few other users, I’ve posted some useful links and info in the community over there. It looks like that work is starting to pay off.
I find it useful to sign up for multiple accounts and then segregate those into browsing/posting habits for different categories. One for gaming (or other relaxed communities), one for science & tech, one for politics that I only occasionally dip into, one that’s a voting only account, etc.
At the very least, you can take a break from communities that can easily be more toxic, whenever you want. If downvotes bother you, I would also suggest signing up with a fediverse instance that disables downvotes.
I’ve actually started to see some results from Lemmy.world in DuckDuckGo search results.
Star Citizen announces 1.0 release date.
