@Protoman64 Kbin has a separate interface for microblogging and groups, that’s why it’s not that obvious. For Lemmy, well, there’s no type of blogging to begin with.

Friendica really shines in this regard, as it has the ability to interact with both groups and regular people in the same feed, while the posts are also clearly marked as such. 😁

@testing777

No worries! Also from Friendica

@t3rmit3 As long as those missiles don’t carry nuclear warheads, it’s all manageable.

@k110111 The Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. Don’t be shy of trying out other social networks as well, as they have a pretty good compatibility with Mastodon.

I just wanted to get rid of Facebook. So, I don’t know what did I think about, but I chose Friendica. From here I managed to follow many of the pages that I was following there, over on Mastodon.

News pages have the biggest share in the accounts that I follow, but I also found other accounts, such as @godpod or @DarthPutinKGB

@Obi /c/s is not long (albeit a bit complicated to write, on phone at least) and it could easily be expanded verbally, so you know that /c/s = communities.

On Friendica, everything that is not a person or a page is displayed as a group. As a Facebook alternative, it does make sense, but for you in the Lemmy world I imagine it would sound a bit bland. 😁

@Excrubulent

Sci-Hub should still be around, I guess…

@rikudou That’s great. Didn’t think about it.

@Riccardo_Mar It depends on the crack I guess, but most likely yes. The crack is usually there only to bypass license check.

@Moonrise2473 even worse: they’re selling copyrighted content that they have no license for

@iso

@PolarisFx AntennaPod (if you’re on Android) can batch download all of a podcast’s episode. Then you can edit the files to trim them and remove the ad part.

@Venus I think the meme was created when those were better

@FuckyWucky

@QuazarOmega Checkmate atheists!!!

@MoshBit Sure. Filelist is a (mostly) Romanian private tracker (the website is available in English as well, though). It is also kinda hugely popular here (pretty much the most popular Romanian torrent website altogether). A couple of days ago, the admin announced that due to personal issues and being unable to find a replacement, the website would shut down. Now a solution was found.

@uninvitedguest Now you can really call yourself a Torrent Leech, haha!

@FuckyWucky they announced they will close early 2024

@Zedstrian

@danielquinn Outstanding work. Congrats!

@matcherock Can you sort by new in the community’s main page, maybe? This is what I see:

@matcherock I see plenty of posts here 😁 not all too recent but there is some constant activity

@CoderSupreme This would sadly also be easier for any interested party to block it. i.e. ISPs could block it easier, copyright holders could have an easier time suing the platform owners and have it shut down and if the platform gets big and popular enough (like, for example, how YouTube is for videos of any sort) some content that would be hosted exclusively on that platform would likely be gone for good.

For a platform this big to survive and serve its original purpose, unhindered by DMCAs and stuff, it would be really, really hard.

Plus, the internet now is more regulated than it was 20-30 years ago when nowadays popular names like Piratebay first appeared.

And I personally don’t mind going to a few dozen websites that only a handful of people on the internet know in order to get my stuff. If any of that website gets too popular, it risks closure. Better to only have 1 website of these closed instead of all these.

@RandomLegend Here’s how I do stuff:

• I use Calibre for books
• I use Shotwell for photos and videos
• I use Audacious for music
• For moving and deleting files around, I just use the regular file manager. I put music in Music, photos in the Pictures folder, videos go to Videos, documents go to Documents etc.
