Others have already pointed out scaled (my default sort) but I have often thought I would like to see a full feed for my quieter comms. Without making a new only-quiet-comms account or modifying a Lemmy client the only way I’ve thought of is to subscribe to the RSS feeds (but that means using a different app and managing two sets of subscriptions).

You mean Cloudflare is down this evening. Timezones, how do they work?

I think that the little extra work to have separate services is a small price to pay to have the kind of top notch user experience that you can only get with a dedicated tool.

Besides, it’s cool to have a load of different services. Most self-hosters seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next thing to install.

FYI, you’ve added a link where the label is the URL and the actual link is empty. You can fix this by removing the [ and ]() around the link. If the link is there as plain text, it gets a hyperlink automatically: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/pay-up-or-stop-scraping-cloudflare-program-charges-bots-for-each-crawl/

Also there’s that a file on a cloud service might change. E.g. Amazon sometimes updates ebook covers to advertise that there’s a show - even for those who have paid extra to have the ad-free option.

E.g. the sticker-type graphic on this and that the title is updated to “The Fires Of Heaven: Book 5 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)”:

Podlet is really useful in this area.

You’re right, and it’s infuriating that the AI scrapers are just so lazy/incompetent that they do things like try to scrape every dynamic page of a git repo instead of just cloning it. Similarly, they could just connect over ActivityPub and it wouldn’t have much more overhead than another private instance.

There’s Anubis which uses JavaScript to force browsers to do some work before they can access, but given how unpopular Cloudflare is around here, I imagine there’d be a lot of complaints if it was deployed on every instance.

I had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?

Not your post, either ;) We’re c/selfhosted around these parts.

I think it’s more that using tho instead of though is quite casual, but then you use thusly, which is rather formal. The change of register is surprising/funny.

Like if someone wrote “Indeed, it is most unexpected lol”.

What names has this process come up with?

I liked that you didn’t bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it’s so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.

I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact “seamlessly”, but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!

I decided on Symfonium as well - especially once I realised the author, Tolriq, was the same on who’d made Yatse, my favourite Kodi remote. Tolriq is an indie developer and always has very fair pricing and excellent support, so I’m happy to pay (once, per app) for a polished experience.

The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it’s triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.

Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we’re calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.

So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).
