Love that you’re complaining about this stuff in the piracy community lol.

Hi friend. Im wondering if Spotube would work for you. It lets you run Spotify with no ads, so you can just use a free account.

Senior moment.

A lot of people are on the Fediverse to escape these corporate data-hoarder apps. It’s so weird to still see people embracing the abusers. It’s like we’ve learned nothing.

I need to look into that. It’s not too bad yet but this is prime time to get that kind of thing sorted.

Lol thanks! I was pretty stoked when I snagged it and got everything set up.

I run a server and find that often times the images that come over are full-size uploads. pictrs doesn’t seem to be doing any resizing or compression on them, and the originals are instead getting dumped over to servers that federate. It’s actually my biggest fear right now because that alone can fill up disk space real quick.

It might be a configuration or something I can change, but I’ve yet to figure it out.

I have my tiny instance that currently has 4 users, with me being the most active. I update Lemmy regularly, upgrade and manage resources as needed, and even do server management via my phone when I need to. Federated with all of the big ones so there’s no lack in content and I’m always scouring for new communities to sub to. The only rule I have (aside from the ones stated in the rules page) is no NSFW. It’s mostly a CYA measure for myself.

Plus it has a fun URL!

Have you tried piped.video? I recently found it thanks to a bot that replies to YouTube links with Piped links of the same video.

This is awesome! I’d love to have my own added, despite it still being tiny.

This was the reason I ended up hosting my own general use instance. It’s mostly for my own benefit, but I also wanted to make something open to users that want to have a nice, short username with a silly URL.

And depending on the app you use, adding and switching to multiple accounts can be easy. I use Memmy which emulates Apollo’s account switcher.

“Hey, it’s urgent, call me back.”

sits on the terlet longer just to avoid it

Memmy for iOS is inspired by Christian and his work on Apollo.

To the moon trash bin!
