Yes, it is paid. I recently signed up for the 30 day play as a test drive and see if it made sense to me… And it really is game changing.

Torrent may be enough most of the time, but Stremio has a serious problem about speed, I don’t know why. I enabled the “ultra fast” settings in the menu, but I can’t get the same speed I’d get downloading the same torrent through any torrent client.

It made it impossible to watch 4gb movies, for example, I was basically stuck with lower quality 1-2gb ones.

Real debrid changed that. I watched a 17gb one the other day just fine.

If some movie isn’t available through RD, you can signal RD to download it and it will be available to you (and others) a bit later as well, but I haven’t really needed it so far.

I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.

Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.

I’ll agree with a few things, tho:

It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)

I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.

Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.

You also should be concerned about other people’s data on your instance tho

Liftoff has been great for me.

Okay, so cat is all I need, right?

…right?

I see. It has no files available to me “out of the box”, on sign up, right? I must point a torrent to it, it will download it and then I will download it later? Can I also upload local files?

I’m sorry, I must sound dumb, but I always had a hard time really understanding WHAT are real debrid benefits.

What does real-debrid really do? It is mentioned often on Stremio and I get it that you download things faster for it, but I couldn’t find any explanation about what it really offers as a service.

Is its purpose to download things for you in their server and then you download from them faster? Does it have a limit of how much data you can store?

I dunno, I’m having some trouble with the use case and how it would work for me.

Others have already mentioned man grep or grep help

But, in case you don’t know about it, there are two great utilities to get examples and help for almost any given command: tldr and cheat are great.

Just cheat grep or tldr grep and you’re good to go :)

You’re in fmhy, which is not federated to some few instances (Lemmygrad is one I know, for instance). There’s a map somewhere, I’ll link it here later, so you can check if an instance is federated to another. If they are, users from both can interact with each other and subscribe to each other’s communities.

So, a few concepts first: to subscribe to a community in another instance, SOMEONE from your community must have subscribed to it before you. If someone did, you will find it on Jerboa (search, second button on bottom, from left to right). Use the feddit link providrd to find a community you like, no need to copy the link to it. Just type the name and it will show up.

Now what to do if no one has subscribed to it yet? You can be the first to provide it to your entire instance, BUT not from Jerboa (yet). You gotta login to your instance via web browser, go to communities and search for the full link (two formats: [email protected] or instance.xyz/c/community). It will return no results at first, but it will fetch and then you search for the community. Sometimes, you gotta refresh and just search for community again.

That’s it. Remember: it will only work if the instance you’re logged into and the one that has the community you want to join are federated.

Ok, then why do the 2 day blackout in the first place? The point should be directing users to other platforms.

I just found it in another post right here in fmhy. Looks like it answers my question.

Although it probably works better on a desktop.

Lemmy.world is federated to it.

I also created an account on fmhy at first, but couldn’t find any lemmygrad communities. Figured they weren’t federated to each other.

But, a question: is there any way I can confirm it? A map or a table that tells which instances are and are not federated to one another?

I liked kbin as well. The desktop version seems nice and I found it easier to interact with the rest of the Fediverse than Lemmy. Unfortunately, no app yet, and apparently Lemmy is becoming much more popular. Which is absolutely whatever, since that’s the beauty of the Fediverse.

Yeah, I’m committed as well, and you’re right about your input.

A few notes in my mind, tho:

1 - Reddit became really mainstream, yeah, but I figure a huge part of the user base were tech people. Probably work in tech somehow.

2 - those who came to Lemmy/kbin already are also tech people, I figure. Right now, I think it is just normal that the first to pull the trigger are in tech. It’s not too friendly to the average user (despite the forum format really not being what the average user goes after today)

3 - these people will start to contribute to the development, even if not providing actual code and developing apps or creating their instances, most will post issues about their user experience and will have valuable input about the platform.

4 - I think the true take off of the Fediverse will come once content creators start to post their content in here. And I expect the first of them, at least, to also be tech content creators.

I’ll try to encourage some of the guys I follow, mainly course creators, to invest a bit in the Fediverse. Some of them already do. I know that Twitter puts food on their table, but it should be easy to automate and crosspost to Mastodon, for example.

I hate social media overall. It’s not really hatred, I just don’t use most of them, don’t find the motivation and don’t really value what they have to offer me. I think Instagram sucks for searching anything (who would say searching pictures would be hard, huh?).

I, for one, started lurking on Reddit because of fantasy football. Reddit was really good as a link and content aggregator, and I got most of my news from there. But it depends on Twitter as well, since the reports mainly come from there. And you see where the problem is at? Most of the people who advocate for the Fediverse don’t really use Twitter as well.

So I can only dream of the day Ian Rapopport will post some breaking news to Mastodon and a bot will auto-crosspost it to /c/fantasyfootball.

A man can hope about this ideal future.

Edit: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, I DIDN’T REALIZE MASTODON HAS 7 MILLION USERS ALREADY

We’re sticking to the Fediverse as well so
