I use it often, but sadly I also must use other front-ends, becuse not all YT videos are working or don’t even appears in the searches (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, ViewTube, DTube, Tubo…). Hard work for devs like you to show the middle finger to YT, congrats.

That is a general problem in the internet, not only in Lemmy, images andother content can be copied, this you can’t avoid, it would even be imposible if you could delete embedded images in Lemmy, someone could have copied and pasted it somewhere else. But by using an imagesharer where you later delete the image, you also eliminate your origin as the author, since it no longer appears in your contributions in Lemmy or other sites.

Because of this, I never upload directly an image to Lemmy and others, using instead a sharing tool (FileCoffee, IMHO the best). With my account there I can easily delete the hosted image with which it disappear everywhere.

That’s the point. If you only read posts in your own lenguage, you miss 90% of the information in the web.

On social networks for a long time, with excellent translators available, I don’t really care what language a post is written in. In this way I have found a lot of information, new things and very interesting contributions, which I would have missed by using filters.

If the inbuid translator in your browser isn’t enough, these are anyway better (both FOSS). Maybe the best ones you can find. both multi-engine, full customizable. Translate full page, selection, words, inverse translation, more than 120 lenguages.

Good reason. Do you know this one? (made in the EU - France). In Matodon https://framapiaf.org/@systemd (in French)

Yes, but why you’ll use an social network which isn’t federated? If you don’t want Mastodon, there are a lot of other alternatives, apart of Lemmy.

With Vivaldi Social you can (similar mascot), full integrated in the Fediverse.

I always thought that Linux is a better platform for games, the problem until now was not this, but the availability of games for Linux.

No ads here with adblocker + this. Anyway now I watch YT well with LightTube, or well on Desktop with MotionBox Video Browser or SMplayer. Faster, better quality and without any ad. FYT

Novadays not even a Playlist, without YT paused it after some pieces or in the middle of those, which also need an extension to skip this, apart of another extension to avoid the clickbaits in most of the videos. As least, YT only with a good adblocker + the uFrame script + YT Nonstop or similar (depends on the store) + Clickbait Remover, as basics, or otherwise and better frontends (before Google kills these all) Piped, Invidious, PokeTube, or desktop, apps like MotionBox Video Browser (the best, but shitty UI), FreeTube or at least SMplayer. YT lacks a really alternative, the only I know which in ammount of content can it be in the future is Odysee, PeerTube is nice but the ammount of content…mhe. Only for music I use this one sometimes, there genres for every taste and mood 24/7 nonstop https://www.internet-radio.com , well in the browser or also with downloadable m3u files in any mediaplayer.

I know that you need to subscribe reliable info channels, which I have done. Naturally there is good content on YT, but this, among the amount of content there is… how much? 1%-2%, maybe 3%? Trusted source is something else

Only on EV? It’s hard to find reliable informacion between 99% influencer crap and bullshit. YT is good for music and some movies which someone had uploaded, little else.

Imgur is spyware crap, since time I use FileCoffee, way better (host and share image, multimedia, videos, documents, PDF, presentations, text, apps, 100% free, encrypted, private, made in the EU), alternatively you can use Vgy.me (same, but only images, by default it delete the EXIF data, if exist).

Logical decision on the part of a journalistic medium, given that the fediverse has many more sources of information than a monolithic Big Brother traditional social network with mainstream users.

I don’t complicate my life with lists 1 Someone follow me 2 Looking in the profile which themes he has 3 If it interests me, I follow back, if not, well, not.

Fake, John Mastodon don’t exist. This social network was created by Eugen “Gargron” Rochko in 2016. He use the name Mastodon, because he is a fan of the Band “Mastodon”, similar of this one use the name “Lemmy” in memoriam of this musician of Motörhead Ian Fraser Kilmister, called Lemmy, died in 2015. The name John Mastodon is a misleading of the slogan Join Mastodon.
