Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.

All I need from youtube are my handful of subscriptions and my watch later, so I have moved on to invidious. I’d recommend it

Now that we are recommending alternatives, iPhone/iPad/Mac have Yattee. It uses Piped/Invidious as backend and is in the appstore

IMO Lemmy shouldn’t have media uploading of any kind. Aside from the CSAM risk, it’s unsustainable and I think one of the reasons Reddit went to shit is by getting into the whole image/video/gif hosting.

Dozens of media hosts exist out there, and the mobile/web clients should focus instead on showing remote content better.

I agree with you. Also I want to say that it’s not just hexbear, I have seen groups of users demand defederation from other instances (not just on lemm.ee) because they don’t like seeing NSFW and politics (and other topics I’m sure). If we resort to defederation for any conflict then why are we even here trying to grow Lemmy, it’s clear that it wouldn’t go anywhere and we should just pack up and go back to Reddit and beg u/spez for forgiveness.

Federation is the main point of these platforms, otherwise they are just a bunch of obscure forums walled out from each other, none having enough resources nor userbase to grow into anything meaningful, and quickly being abandoned.

Can’t wait until users are able to block instances so this becomes a non-issue. Probably a compromise could be defederating until the feature is ready, not sure if that’s possible, and on the event Hexbear admins/mods not do enough to moderate.

Many people are very triggered in that post and I don’t get it.

No platform is gonna have only decent users and only content you agree with. Resorting to defederation from any instance that is offensive to some people just damages what lemmy is trying to be tbh.

Eventually instances following that mindset will be isolated because there’s always someone out there who wants to impose their own content curation (like no NSFW, no politics, no trolling, no memes, etc…)

Users should make the calls for what they want to see on an individual level. Thanks to the admin for sticking to fair policies.

Those who are still on the ‘apple bad’ train like to forget they are running an OS built by an ads company.

Every phone manufacturer has some bad shit, I choose to stick with apple cuz I already have a big library of paid stuff.

It does load faster than yesterday, almost instantly i’d say, yesterday I could see the loading icon for a bit, and today it loads in no time.

Awesome work! you have any available way for us to support lemm.ee?
