Additional resources that do the same thing:

Super simple web based: https://movie-web.app

Less simple, but good for finding something to watch: https://goku.sx

Not simple at all, but can torrent and stream: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop (scroll down for installation)

The stack I use has been pretty solid:

• Calibre docker container accessible via Guacamole
• Calibre-Web docker container as "front-end"
• Readarr docker container to obtain new books via Usenet (primarily ALTHub)
• SABNzbd docker container to download

Readarr searches Usenet for books, then sends what it finds to SABNzbd, which downloads the file to a folder that Calibre watches, which then imports the book and adds it to its database, which Calibre-Web has access to, so in a minute or two it’s available in Calibre-Web for download/reading/conversion.

If for some reason the book isn’t available via Readarr/Usenet, it can be downloaded via other methods and uploaded to Calibre-Web, so everything ends up in the same place.

I appreciate the concern, and it seems to me that kbin is no longer just one person ;) Currently, kbin is a team of wonderful people who handle development work, devops, project management, and more. Additionally, Piotr helps me with administering kbin.social. There will be significant changes here soon, things are happening quickly. But to be honest, I wasn't fully prepared for such substantial growth, and it will probably take some time before everything stabilizes. But... this is just the beginning ;) What's important is that the snowball starts rolling, regardless of whether kbin, Lemmy, or Mastodon gains the most users. We all win in this situation.

The majority of my domains were with Gandi, they're now with Porkbun.

"has anyone from my server interacted or searched for the post by it's URL" is misleading. I struggled with this yesterday. Turns out you have to search in a very specific way.

In both kbin and Lemmy, you can't just go to the community's URL (which is utterly bizarre). You must search the full magazine name. In Lemmy, you weirdly need the ! in front when searching it to find it. In kbin, you don't need that, but you do need to search the magazine in the "neutral" search mode, not magazine search mode (lol wut?). Actually, in Lemmy you also have to use the "normal" search field and not the community search field.

And of course, both have a discovery issue. People want to be able to search a partial string like "hobby" without having to know what instance their community might be on or if the full name might be things like "hobby_discuss", etc. They should not need a separate tool to do this search. That's just a barrier to entry.

Anyway the whole thing is a usability barrier that needs to change. It also makes smaller instances actively harder to use, which is a bad incentive. We don't want people to experience small instances as "buggy" (even if it's working as intended).

Anyone currently trying to create a sub should have an account on every major instance and subscribe to their new sub to ensure it shows up in the search. And yes, that is just completely silly (and unscalable beyond the biggest instances).
