People at Kbin can also see our upvotes and downvotes (perfect for toxic stalkers…).

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?

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.

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.

More clients is always cool, I hope Infinity for Reddit dev makes a port to Lemmy. I’m surprised that being FOSS there is still no community port or a fork or nobody has mentioned it yet (or at least I am not aware of it).

Why was Jonh Oliver chosen?

I don’t know him and his relation with Reddit, I think I might need some context XD

Users will pay as always.

I mean most of the mods used third party applications as tools to do their job. With the API changes, almost all third party apps will die, so all mods will lose their tools.

I’m not a mod and can’t exactly understand the situation, but I guess third party apps had easier to use and better/more tools than what official Reddit gives them, so that’s it.

Reddit is destroying their moderation tools anyway…

Use a tool to edit all your comments to a Lorem ipsum, the more useless data they have filling their database the better, I prefer this to simply deleting them all and freeing up their database storage.

Btw, I don’t know any tool for that, but I guess there should be some because I saw some users editing all their comments.
