Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I’m watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn’t make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I’m now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I’ll repost, thanks. What’s a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Thanks. I couldn’t get plex to run from ‘off site’, it was probably something that I wasn’t doing properly.

I’m not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.

Absolutely no issues at all on lemm.ee from the day reddit killed 3rd party apps - using boost now.

Yeah, gotta admit to jumping back onto it a few times - purely because of the wealth of information. But I do have to agree with you that the quality of chat seems to be declining.

Lemmy is definately a better quality place to be, but if people don’t post - only to a fraction of communities, it’s in danger of becoming too focused on just a few topics.

What I don’t understand is: some niche communities started getting interest, then the interest waned - did people leave, did they go back to reddit (and why after leaving) or did they find a better place to go (if so where)?

I’m sticking with lemmy for now - with fingers crossed!

Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.

If you’re not getting a full text feed for articles try changing your feed app (assuming android). I’m using handy News reader (flymm fork on F-droid). It retrives the full article text for all my feeds.

Gottcha 👍

Been meaning to learn this for a while - thanks for setting this up.

I’m guessing that would be tagging people then rather than topics of interest? Probably not missing much if that’s the case.

I wasn’t even aware lemmy had tags. Never used it on pc.

Also, fuck anyone that looks like you!

Ah yes, my mistake.

I second Severance - excellent show. I’m adding Carnivale into the mix here.

Good suggestions - some I have, but not ground news. My reader got it from openrss but didn’t bring back any items.

Can you supply the source please?

A year from now we’ll all wonder why people just don’t get how easy it all is to understand.

Indeed, growing pains - and we’re all getting to make sense of it all. I can only speak for myself, but at times I find this change confusing. Thanks.
