Exactly this. The second you utter the word “federation” you can see people’s eyes glaze over in real time. The email explainer is good but it really needs to be a short sentence and that’s it

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

He switched to Debian

Ironic

I think it’s more winning the battle but losing the war for Twitter. It just ain’t the same and probably never will be.

I’m aware, patiently waiting for Jellyfin lol. I didn’t enjoy emby at all so Plex was the best “out of the box” solution for my use case

I prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.

Oh wow, how have I not heard of this? This was a major hurdle for me with Jellyfin, I’ll definitely check this out

Well hot damn this is pretty awesome

It should be no more taxing than a web page, so I think you’re correct. I have both apps and haven’t done a direct performance comparison, but I will say the PWA seems to be just a tad snappier, imo

It stands for Progressive Web App. It allows websites to be treated as a standalone app without having to download it from a storefront. When done well, it’s hardly distinguishable from a proper native app. It’s a cost-efficient way to create a cross-platform app that works with basically any browser.

Voyager 100%, nearly perfect PWA, great as a native iOS app too.

Yahoo needs to stop taking investment advice from Cramer

Yeah, I’ll be very surprised indeed if Threads allows Lemmy posts to appear in the app, since that’s user content they don’t really have control over, in terms of user agreements or policies as far as I know, and I’m sure the last thing Meta wants is a ton of Lemmy users beckoning Threads users to ditch the centralized network of Meta and joint them in the “real” fediverse lol

Oh lol, I hoped over to beehaw briefly to check it out abd…yeah it doesn’t seem to line up with that comment, strong moderation yeah, but ah well. Thanks for providing some additional context!

Oh gotcha, thanks for the summary!

Hell even web scraping will get the job done. Defederating from meta is going to be akin to slapping a “meta bad” bumper sticker on and refusing to use Facebook. We aren’t the target audience of Threads, meta doesn’t give a shit about Lemmy or its instances, and defederating won’t impact the Threads experience or product hardly at all. Still, glad we have the option to defederate at all, and exercising that option should be used in this case, imo. Just don’t expect Mark Zucchini to be crawling on all fours begging Lemmy admins to stop because their product is being crippled lol

…for now
