SparkIT, (edited ) to technology in Did ad blockers survive YouTube's offensive? Letting numbers talk

Oh, I didn't know about the bot. So I guess that's Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn't work switching instance should do the job.

Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

I'm confused about "new pipe links".

Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

Sarebbe anche bello ma ogni volta che lo provo stacco dopo 5 minuti per qualche problema di federazione.

L'ultimo poco fa: seguivo questo account con quello su evil.social, poi ho tolto il follow e provando a rimetterlo non lo prende più :P

SparkIT, to youshouldknow in YSK: a few ways to watch YouTube videos without using youtube.com
SparkIT avatar

I'm using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD

There's also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I'm GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn't load but restarting foobar it's usually enough.

I'm not sure if this is fine but since it wasn't active on every page I've added an asterisk on row 7 like this:
// @match https://kbin.social/*
and it seems to work.

SparkIT, to privacyguides in what imgur alternatives do you use to share images?

It's also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

Hi,

AFAIK it happens because old posts are usually updated only when they are searched (I guess to avoid importing too much stuff) and last time I tried you just needed to search the lemmy address but I tried again and right now it doesn't seem to work.

Sometimes it takes time to sync, so maybe they'll show up in a while but if they don't it could be a bug/federation issue.

You have to search with an @ instead of the !

Here you go: https://kbin.social/m/pennsylvania@lemmy.world

For the time being, the "owner" of new remote communities is always @ernest because he is the instance admin.

SparkIT, to meta in With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?
SparkIT avatar

Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

Now that's a fedi answer 😎👍

SparkIT, to startrek in So ... how are we going to interact with our reddit siblings?

TIL Reddit users have bios /s

SparkIT, to kbinMeta in muting instances/communities, community description to top of page
SparkIT avatar

also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities

Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don't have to scroll all the way down.

I didn't know about UDP xD

I remember being on Usenet but at the time I think the average user would have little to no knowledge on how the system worked. You just had to choose a server after reading a few guides and there was no rush.

I like how federation works but right now people come here with different expectations and when it occurs in waves I think it's too stressful.

Uh.. that's unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.

SparkIT, to kbinMeta in Looks like federation is working again!

It matters if 2 users have the same nickname.
