I wish there was a legal way for me to create a “backup” version for others to watch like a PeerTube instance, but to creators they would see it as not fair to them, so unfortunately my collection remains private.

I just give credit to the original channel name and provide the link to the original video. Now I know this is still illegal, but… I can’t be bothered to care. Being able to just randomly open videos from my library on any device with internet connection is a bliss. Also sharing stuff from my collection is so easy. I don’t earn any money from hosting those videos, so I think it’s not that bad.

And you don’t need a piefed account to look.

Ah right, I forgot about that

The first one is great. Loving it!

A whole community dedicated to finding the right community! I like how meaningful content selection is on the Fediverse. Thanks!

I think topics are only a thing on PieFed?

Nice. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed reply! Looks very promising. Although I would like a good microblogging experience as well. Anyway, I gotta try it.

Fair enough

Thanks! I’m planning to host my own instance so this is very useful.

Offtopic: what’s your experience with mbin? Do you follow personal accounts (like from Mastodon as opposed to Lemmy-like communities)? And why did you choose mbin over other alternatives?

• Sometimes I’ll finding communities by seeing what other users with similar interests interact with on their profiles.

Darn this one is so obvious yet I didnt’t think of it. Thanks!

Very convenient, thanks!

Wow, there are so many interesting and diverse communities constantly created!

https://lemmyverse.net/

I somehow missed there’s also an index for communities. Amazing, thanks!

Yeah, I already use “All” but that’s still very limiting

What’s the meme with beans?

Innovation in enthusiast open source projects?

for programming LLMs ended it all in the span of the last four months

What happened during these months? Did LLMs get suddenly much more powerful? I don’t follow their development.

So I’ll just provide a QR-Code to the grouchat and they are in?

Yes!

Is Arcane available for both IOs and Android?

Oh okay, my bad. I forgot about iOS 😅 ArcaneChat is available only for Android, but DeltaChat is available on both. They are inter-operable, so you can tell Android users to use ArcaneChat and iOS users to use DeltaChat. Or use DeltaChat for both. ArcaneChat just adds a couple features like Markdown.

And do I need a new inbox programm or an extra email if we use emsil like chat? I use thunderbird and I feel like there would be a lot of alerts popping up?

DeltaChat creates an account on its own kind of servers automatically so you don’t have to worry about that.

DaltaChat (use its fork called ArcaneChat on mobile devices) is super straightforward to start using. You just download the app, enter your nickname - note: no phone number, no email, even no password! - and you’re ready to go. Then you need an invite link to the group chat and that’s it. The onboarding experience is in fact much simpler than on WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.

Also as DeltaChat doesn’t require a phone number or other confidentials, it is much more private than Signal. And it has stronger encryption than the latter (AFAIK Signal doesn’t encrypt the message metadata).

I’ve managed to even get my gandma using DeltaChat (ArcaneChat) so I think it’s the best choice for people who are not very into tech.

Wow, I didn’t know of many of those. Thanks! A FOSS search engine with its own actual index is especially intriguing.
