Oh, I didn’t know about the bot. So I guess that’s Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn’t work switching instance should do the job.

Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

I’m confused about “new pipe links”.

Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

I have the same problem. I also tried installing the languages in troubleshoot mode but I got the same message.

It seems like it doesn’t even try to connect, the message appears instantly when I click on install.

No problem with Firefox.

I’m using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD

There’s also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I’m GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn’t load but restarting foobar it’s usually enough.

It’s also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

Aaand I’ve searched “best blender” and I found out it’s… THE SOFTWARE!

Now that’s a fedi answer 😎👍

TIL Reddit users have bios /s

That works for lemmy but it doesn’t seem to be available on kbin yet.

also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities

Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don’t have to scroll all the way down.

I didn’t know about UDP xD

I remember being on Usenet but at the time I think the average user would have little to no knowledge on how the system worked. You just had to choose a server after reading a few guides and there was no rush.

I like how federation works but right now people come here with different expectations and when it occurs in waves I think it’s too stressful.

Uh… that’s unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.

It matters if 2 users have the same nickname.

@Nepenthe I think on #kbin as it looks right now a microblog post could be easily missed if the magazine is very active but the thing is that when federation works they could also go on all the federated microblogging instances and on the home of the followers. This way they could get “points” from favs and boosts and be more visible here as well.

They could also be useful to comment realtime events, even though this will probably be a problem for the rest of the fediverse because here you don’t need to put an hashtag and it’s not easy for people to selectively mute them so they would probably mute the user.

@speck

AFAIK it’s because of the federated system.

This instance is still new so it fetches content little by little when users interact with external communities and this is also true for votes. There could be federation issue to fix, though and sometimes it takes time to sync.

In general, to see the real number or all the interactions of a post you can open it in the original instance.

On kbin select “copy url to fediverse” in the “more” menu and on lemmy it should be the icon with the fedi logo.

Nice! Last time I heard about it Spotify was shutting it down.

Meta - I’m too old to get this meme without wondering about the reading order Every. Single. Time. xD
