Pour l'instant je suis :

  • Owi Owi Fouette-moi mais j'ai encore testé aucune de ses recettes, elles ont juste l'air très bonnes
  • Les comptes Mastodon de deux-trois potes qui partagent leurs recettes perso de temps en temps

Et sinon je cherche sur 750g (en général) quand je sais ce que je veux faire, mais sinon j'ai rien.

Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it's basic but it does what I need from it.

Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that's gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don't listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can't properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.

Communities don't need to have a single specific language and being able to share in our own language in a general community, especially outside of English, would be amazing. I know I've posted some content to book-related communities in French and was glad not to post to an empty French community, and I got some interaction on this.

Agree with Flaky that we really need a default language choice to not have to set it up every time, though.

That's an excellent question and I'm glad you raised it. I need to care more about accessibility and learn more about security in general :)

on How does PeerTube work? · c/peertube · 5 pts · 3y

As said above, but shorter: the videos are stored on the servers like on a "regular" video hosting website. If there are peers available, then it relies on P2P for whatever's working; if not, it acts like a regular video website.

To share fragments of a video I need to be consciously in the video?

I actually have no idea about this one!

Honeypots - ask a very easy question, but make it hidden on the website so that human users won't see it and bots will answer it.

As said above, likes are virtually useless. They're more like "noticeable bookmarks". Mastodon etiquette is to boost rather than like, if you enjoy a toot, and that's also how it was when the Twitter timeline was chronological and didn't include likes, a very long time ago.

Here are some feeds in English that I like:

My subscriptions elsewhere (consolidation)

  • https://beehaw.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active - the RSS feed for my Lemmy subscriptions (replace the instance with yours if necessary)
  • Loads of RSS feeds for Mastodon hashtags that I enjoy
  • Archive of our own feeds for certain fandoms
  • RSS feeds for each Nebula channel I follow
  • Inoreader allows me to sync YouTube subscriptions, so I do that too
  • A bunch of Medium blogs

Blogs I recommend

Good for them if people want them. I think as long as they're clearly marked as bots (for clarity) and on bot-specific instances (so you can easily block all of them at once if you hate it), it doesn't hurt anyone!
