I want to count myself in, but man am I struggling so hard - I basically attempted/started to migrate to fediverse day 1 of the api announcements. When I browsed reddit, I would find content entertaining and makes me laugh, stuff I would share, and I would have fun browsing. I am finding a whole different humor that I don’t like, too political and unfunny. Maybe I need to fix my subscriptions but idk
Maybe I haven’t figured out lemmy yet but there’s a lot that’s a hassle for me, I feel like I’ve subscribed to most things I enjoy. I’ve tried various apps and have enjoyed Connect the longest but am holding out for Boost for Lemmy. Like I have a lack of notifications for replies (which I thought I figured out), lack of things I’m used to that reddit has, desktop browser view not having expanded cards (I like to see full media and not having to click), having different instances not all 1 account (like I had posts from lemmy.world which I switched off of, now I’m in lemm.ee but I wish I could have all my history and everything, being duplicate communities across different instances, home page sorting view (I’ve tried 6h, 12h, top month, new, I just feel like I see the same old posts way too often and not new hot stuff). Then there’s just small stuff here and there, like seeing the card preview that looks like an image, so I click it, but get redirected to an article which I don’t want. There’s more stuff, but I’m already rambling way too much, I’ve just been looking for somewhere to post this
There’s so many times where I have a question about something or need advice, like intermittent fasting or gym stuff, and could quickly and easily post and find on reddit. I feel so dirty using reddit but all this complication makes me want to give up and give in. I care about not supporting a shitty app and garbage CEO/decisions but now this is probably affecting me more than them
I was a Boost user, I still have it installed and once in a while use it when finding information, and at least it still works somehow so fingers crossed lol
Like you said though, protesting isn’t easy. This is just a lot of effort and sacrifice man that most people probably aren’t willing to give, which is understandable. I’m not sure if this will ever fully replace reddit unless reddit keeps killing itself and manages to somehow push away casuals that don’t care about ads or shitty app design or shitty decisions
After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid....
This is what I understand as well. I have been using it (well, specifically streamio + Rd with torrentio addon) for half a year so far and it’s fantastic. Definitely seems too good to be true, but there’s no catch imo :)
There’s only 3 cons which for me aren’t big deal breakers unless it’s important to you
No auto renewal
Not free, it’s like $6 for 6 months or something which imo is insanely affordable and an incredibly good deal
If you watch on multiple devices but at the same time, you get banned
EDIT: As I was corrected below, bullet 3 only applies when under the same IP using different external IP addresses
As far as I understand, yes! That’s correct. I have 1 account so I can’t stream multiple devices at the same time. But if you have 2 separate accounts there shouldn’t be issues. I’m like 95% sure but someone correct me if wrong
EDIT: As I was corrected below, you only can’t stream multiple devices at the same time when using different external IP addresses
Yes, I use it practically daily and have had 0 issues aside from the very rare occasional maintenance/short outage. here’s the guide originally from reddit that I followed after spending some time trying to figure it out
How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
It is possible to estimate?
