I believe librera and koreader are really the only names in the game atm

Having moderation work in an expected and consistent way is hardly the same thing as moderation tooling.

Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.

Edit: Reading again i see that you’re on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.

Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

I honestly don’t remember but I do recall it’s way more of a process than it used to be

Pretty utilitarian on the ol thinkpad

I think the big reason that nobody’s mentioned yet is simply that they were earlier. Back when projects like Tox and Matrix were first starting to pop up, telegram was already fully formed. Signal didn’t come until at least a year later and didn’t have feature parity until several years later. Telegram by contrast was a much closer experience to WhatsApp and Messenger, making the transition much easier, particularly for low-tech knowledge users.

This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.

That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.

We don’t need to use that word here

Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I’ve always felt they’d be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.

Material You is increasingly a requirement for me to even use an app on a regular basis.

It’s not so crazy. Most people choose a DE for the defaults

Yeah, doesn’t seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:

I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.

Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That’s a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.

All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.

Do you think there is any way the mod of [email protected] would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Mentioning @[email protected]

I think one thing you’re missing here is that under such a system the defaults would likely become your locally hosted /c/books rather than the largest one. Even still you’d probably see posts from the largest books communities because /c/books@your_instance follows multiple /c/books@big_instance. Community blocking would likely still work as it currently does so any books communities that you were not fond of could still be blocked.

There is still the issue of where do you post and I think the answer looks something like:

• Post in /c/books@your_instance if you want to talk to your neighbors
• Post in /c/books@big_instances if you want to talk to everybody

Which is more or less how most people would decide where to post book stuff anyway.

I really don’t hate this idea from a lemmy centric UX perspective but how do you handle federation with other platforms?

Really like your protocol handlers contribution here. Seems tough to square with multiple accounts though.

Yup that’d be sick
