Thanks for the tip, that looks like a good alternative

Tried to click on the lemmy.world link but of course they’re down too right now…

Reminds me of the dreugh from The Elder Scrolls series

btdig and knaben are both torrent search engines, and the Internet Archive is another good place to search for hard to find videos. None of them turned up Transexual Menace, but they did find Rurangi.

The binhex container has worked well for me on Unraid.

Seems like you didn’t really understand my point. Meta is very averse to, for example, any NSFW content, or using words that aren’t G-rated to talk about other people. I do not think there will be a slow creep of Meta federating with server by server, because I do not think 99% of servers are willing to abide by those restrictions. If you want me to make up numbers, I think Meta will federate with 10 servers, at most, and that’s it.
The other part of the equation, from what I understand, is authorized fetch. If servers implement that, that prevents Threads from accessing their content from a middle-man server if defederated.

So no, I don’t want to federate with them. But I also think that writing off kbin because Ernest hasn’t already defederated is a premature, knee-jerk reaction.

Yep, and if Threads is enforcing the same TOS as Instagram, there’s no way that Meta is going to open the doors to the fediverse in general. I expect that when Meta does enable federation, it will be with a small number of vetted servers that agree to follow their TOS as well.
I understand people’s concerns with Threads, and don’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole myself, but a lot of the reaction posts are sensationalized.

I don’t have much to say about watches but THANK YOU for bringing hobby drama to the fediverse!

I thought we defederated with nsfw because of technical issues with nsfw images not being blurred properly, not the rules issue?

Good thing I didn’t get Outer Worlds or Merchant of the Skies in the sale!

I’m working on one. Currently I have Enough about Reddit already which filters out reddit-related words. If you’re comfortable editing a script, you could add your own words to the blacklist.

Are Tesla charging stations already required to include CCS plugs?

So far I’ve been browsing all-hot and all-newest mainly, to find new communities to subscribe to (and some to block). At some point, probably soon considering the growth in the threadiverse, I’ll switch my home page to subscribed. I comment wherever I feel like it, but I’ve only posted on kbin.social so far.

I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.

The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!

Oh another one I remembered: Magical Diary Horse Hall (and the sequel Wolf Hall) - absolutely loved the first but never got around to playing Wolf Hall

Funny, I was just thinking about this today as I was going through my Steam wishlist. I don’t even know what to call the genre but I want more of it. Haven’t heard of exocolonist before, so I’ll check that out. The only other one I can think of right now is Growing Up (Steam link), but that one is kind of shallow and not great for replayability.

And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts…

Some resources for finding communities

From the Apollo side :(

On the other hand, I think the Reddit migration has a lot better chance of succeeding than any attempts at Twitter or YouTube or Twitch migration.

On the three other sites I mentioned, you’re following specific people. If those people don’t make the jump to a new platform, there’s little reason for you to make the jump either - you’re not going to see the content you want on the new site. Reddit and kbin and lemmy, on the other hand, are community based. I can talk about movies and woodworking and programming memes here just as well as I can on Reddit. The content is the discussion, and anywhere you can find groups of like-minded people, you’ll get that content.

Other people have mentioned the monetization angle for content creators, which is another factor that doesn’t apply to community-based sites. Hell, a large part of the complaints against Reddit is that they are relying on free content and free moderation. So that barrier isn’t holding people back here.

Last point, at least for YouTube and Twitch, is that video hosting and streaming is expensive - any competitor, if they want to gain serious traction, is going to need a lot of money behind it.
