The Fifth Element.

Thanks so much! You’re truly awesome.

Plex or Jellyfin might be what you’re after.

I’ve read somewhere along the way that this is a Lemmy issue, not an app issue. I believe it’s being addressed by the devs.

My PC specs have plateaued as of late, but we’re both in this picture. 😅

Downloads one instance’s communities (and some other settings) to a JSON, then you can upload from that JSON to a new instance. I’m not sure there’s anything that quite caters to what you’re looking for yet.

I have an alt for my main account. I just link back to my main account from there. I mainly use it when my main instance goes down. Likewise, I link my main account to an older account I had originally that I migrated from (all same username). That way, even if my new/alt looks really new, if someone cared enough, they could follow the trail backward to other older accounts.

LASIM works great. Used it to migrate my main account to an alt for when my main instance inevitably goes down.

I loved Textra. It’s not their fault, but I really love RCS support, and right now that’s basically Google Messages and a handful of preinstalled carrier messenger apps (if I’m not mistaken). I loved adding a 3 second delay on sending texts - I always seem to see typos as/after I hit send. 😂

What actually happened here? Aside from the shifter deciding it wanted to take a nap.

Lemmy.ml removed the ability to create communities to (I believe) encourage using other instances. You can create a community on other instances still - like lemmy.world, for example.

That was quick! Logged in and went through a few skips. Not seeing anything worth noting, which is a good thing. I appreciate that it also pulls from smaller instances I’ve never even heard of.

If you’re on the website, go to your post, click the 3 vertical dots so that it expands, and hit the trash can icon.

I honestly don’t know how it should be. I’ll leave that up to you. I wasn’t logged in when I was going through communities. So that might be a way to filter them out easily - if you can pull a list of blocked instances from users’ home instances once they log in.

Pretty good. It’s kind of like Stumbleupon for Lemmy communities. The only “issue” I saw is it includes the forbidden no-no instances that are defederated by a lot of the bigger instances for being… troublesome.

LASIM can copy your current subs to another instance, as others have said. I wish there was a way to migrate posts/comments over. I guess you could just link to your old account in your bio though.

I wonder if it has to do with preloading images and stuff to make the scrolling smoother. This could be a negative for people on mobile data that don’t have unlimited data plans. If that’s the case, being able to toggle preloading on wifi only might be something other apps would want to implement.
