I think there's a misconception.

Plex can "hide" (not really) your own server because you can direct your users on Plex.tv (they can login there, etc. without ever typing your IP address).

But Plex can also use an internal reverse proxy that lets you see your content from outside even without port forwarding. However, quality and speed will be decreased.

I think Jellyfin should work to ease the process of setting up your server as much as they can, but unless they start managing a SaaS like Plex does, they'll never be able to offer the same simplicity for the end user.

Wasn't Jellyfin developed using the Emby source code as a starting point?

You can always start creating your own personal media server, using apps such as Plex or Jellyfin, and qBittorrent, SABnzbd, etc.

Discord is awful for everything that's not live audio chatting. And even in that case, I think Telegram groups work better.

Yes, we just have to collectively make Lemmy grow until it's a true and complete replacement for classical monolith websites such as Reddit and Facebook groups.

The problem with Facebook is that it's un-searchable from any search engine. Also, Meta.

From your stats, it's clear that the first fall was caused by Facebook and smartphones.

Hmm, in my experience Microsoft 365 on Firefox (Linux) works horrendously.

I'm a Firefox user, but when I need to work on OneDrive or Outlook Web I open Chrome because it works way better. And that's a shame.

Good luck troubleshooting problems when an update of Windows breaks something.

Just switch to Linux and call it a day.

So what's your trick?

That's a good idea because then you can always change your mail provider without changing your email address on all websites

Try Kagi. It's a paid service, but what can you do... You either pay or you are the product.

They have a free trial though, and it looks very promising.

Haha ooops sorry! :) good human!

I don't know the causes, but dark times lie ahead of us.

I was in Stockholm and I felt horribly when I started feeling hungry and I noticed restaurants were already closing 😂

And then, after a bit of confusion, tipping will end and waiters will get paid the right amount – no tipping needed

TIL! Good bot.

STOP TIPPING. The whole world doesn't tip, it's a strange and stupid US thing. Just stop tipping please!

You're partially right, but it would be better if users were evenly spread on many instances.

Imagine if one instance becomes so big and then they de-federate. For normal users, nothing would change, but then we would have created the new R*ddit

Too bad they've been recently acquired by Canva :(
