They aren’t the same, you’ll see many communities with the same name in different instances. I’m still a newbie here, but what I do is to follow only the most popular one.

Remember that most instances are federated and some users or mods from any of the communities in different instances will make reposts from that communities on other instances, so there’s a possibility you’ll see a lot of duplicated posts.

I haven’t tried it, but it’s cool there are more alternatives.

I tried it and I still prefer Newpipe, but it’s cool to have a lot of alternatives for everyone!

Yes, Newpipe works great, I use both because I want to interact with my favorite creators and share my history and lists with the PC so I’m forced to log in, so the best option for that is a patched YouTube app like revanced (I used to use vanced until a few months ago when they definitely killed it).

Try revancedapp.

For Android:

Newpipe or Tubular (Newpipe X Sponsorblock fork)

VueTube (still under development, the team is working slow because it’s pretty small, they have a few time to spend on it and they need devs, it’s a complete FOSS alternative to Vanced, and will have most of its features including optional Google log in with interactions)

If you need to login and have a full YouTube experience: Revancedapp

Let’s a go!

What have you done?

I don’t have an account and don’t know how to do it.

Something similar to what Infinity for shitdit had, we definitely need usability tweaks and better customization options, it would also be great to have different appearance settings per user and nsfw blur per user as well.

I’d love if there was a way to categorize saved posts for both account and local storage and the ability to choose to save posts to a local storage list.

Is there any possibility to have the appearance settings saved per account and not for the whole application? I have 2 accounts, one for general sfw use where I want the nsfw content to look blurry and the other for some communities sharing nsfw content, which I’d like to not look blurry. I’d also like to have different colors for the secondary account, but that’s not my main “concern”.

Thanks for your great work with Lemmy and the Jerboa app.

I can read your comment too, not deleted for me.

That’s the way, it’s important to not go back there, communities will appear because people like you and me will create an alternative to that communities.

SmokePatch Football Life 23, a modded standalone PES 21 with updated squads, kits and a lot of things, it also has custom things like the gameplay. I guess it’s nothing interesting in general.

That’s what I was thinking, do someone know if Reddit keeps logs or something?

What about editing the comments? Do they keep any log of the original message and the subsequent edits or something? Maybe this would be a workaround to effectively delete them.

Knowing that any information you share publicly can be stolen, I think the way Lemmy’s instances have the original comment after you deleted it could help counteract people manipulating what you said after you deleted it, such as making a quote and editing “your” original post after it was deleted. But this could give a lot of power to the admins as well, as they could be the ones manipulating.

For YouTube is extremely difficult, people are very used to it, and they are not moving to other platforms when there are decisions clearly against the users as they depend entirely on the creator’s decision (and they will not earn as much money on other platforms… They are still “workers”), it is not as easy as leaving Twitter and Reddit for Mastodon and Lemmy since in this case their creators are the community of users themselves.

There is also the problem of needing a huge storage to save the videos, unfeasible for an open source/FOSS community project unless the rates of adoption are enormous enough and everyone contribute/donate, or at least until we start using more efficient codecs and video compression.

Infinity for Reddit is FOSS too and free, it has a paid version as donative, it includes nothing extra.

I hope they make a port or a fork to Lemmy.

I also come from using Infinity, I’d love if it were ported to Lemmy or forked. It’s FOSS, so I’m surprised there aren’t any yet.
