I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Indirectly, looking up "John Oliver Mastodon" brings up this post in the top few. "John Oliver Pixelfed" has this post as the first option

    So we're not completely left out :)

  • DDG and Brave were pushed as "censorship free" alternatives, back when I was looking into covid disinformation, because the very obviously fake websites would sometimes rank higher on them

    There may be more to it though

  • What do you guys think of rss.ponder.cat?

    Jump

  • Someone could make a script that does that every now and then.

    Check for any communities made since the last run, and add those to the list

  • I'm more of an outsider for this community / hobby, but I thought the post was neat :)

  • Browse and watch videos in FreshRSS like it's YouTube: "Youlag theme/extension" (v3.0.2)

    Jump

  • Did smarttube have custom feeds? I only saw playlists (where you add videos to them manually) and the ability to pin individual channels to the sidebar.

    What I have in mind is an option that lets you scroll through the recent content from a group of channels (ex. cooking, travel, self hosting, tech review, etc.)

  • Very cool! Have you explored running this on an Android TV at all, since that's what I was thinking of trying this on. That way you can flip through channels without needing to deal with login on TVs. Also I don't think YouTube supports making feeds for channel types (ex. Cooking etc.), whereas an RSS feed would make it possible

  • What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube?

    Jump

  • Generally it's just better to ask, even if you were legally / ethically / morally in the clear.

    • if someone doesn't want it, it's going to turn them against peertube / fediverse platforms
    • they might not understand what it is, and use their platform to share those feelings

    Meanwhile if someone DOES want it, letting them know will give them the option to do it themselves. It makes less work for you, and they will feel invested. If they want it and they don't want to upload it themselves, at the very least they'll let their viewers know that peertube is an option.

    As for the legal/moral side, I still feel like there's a reason why you shouldn't do this but I'm not aware of what that might be.

  • We can do that, which page do you feel needs it?

    For example we moved some of the Lemmy introduction content to the detailed explanation page, and we can move more.

    For some of the topic specific pages, I was thinking that anyone who was linked to the page might have already have gotten a brief TLDR from whoever linked to it

    We cut down on a lot of text from the initial drafts, so we can bring some of it back if the start is too jarring

  • Yup it did, we mentioned it here but I maybe we should make it more prominent? That video was one of the better explanations that I have seen so far, and there were a few things that we thought would be good to highlight on top of what it mentioned
