Specifically I'm wondering about the TV frontend UI. Presumably most people are going to be using an android tv box like fire tv or chromecast? Something else?

I recently picked up a new chromecast 4k that has the "Google TV" OS on it and... I'm having a hell of a time coming up with a UI that looks similar to the stock one (with movie recommendations, up next, my watchlist, etc) but that hooks into piracy streaming services.

For launchers I found projectivy, but I noticed that the "channels" feature which pulls in that sort of thing is remarkably limited. Streaming-wise I've got stremio and cloudstream, and only stremio lets me pull in my library into projectivy. Which is okay but I can't get that synced with trakt or getting recommendations; it all has to be managed from stremio.

whereas cloudstream doesn't really have any connectivity at all. There's a few streaming services that somewhat pull things in but it's not great. Netflix doesn't seem to hook into it, nor plex. It ends up being better to just use the stock home and manually launching into stremio/cloudstream when I want them.

Surely there has to be a better way to do this? The stock home screen is nice with free live tv, movie recommendations that link into various paid streaming services, etc. I'd just like to hook in something like stremio, plex, etc. instead, but that seems impossible?

What exactly do y'all do for your setups? Trying to manage my google play watchlist/likes independently of trackt, and then also managing my stremio library separately from both just feels like hell. I end up having to take mental note of the stuff I see on the home screen and manually searching it up.

The live tv channels that the stock homescreen has is seemingly not replicated anywhere else which is a bit disappointing. I saw the old android tv menu get really close to what I'm after, but I can't manage to get it working on my newer chromecast. The menu installs, but the channel feature doesn't work, making it pointless.

Is there a better way?

it seems he's gotten into some drama and pulled all of his social media, twitch, patreon, youtube, etc down. idk what's up but I listened to his asmr audios all the time but forgot to download them and now they're gone.

I tried webarchive, didn't work. I tried looking for possible reuploads but there doesn't seem to be any. i checked some vtuber specific groups and they don't seem to mention him at all.

any luck?

Specifically I'm really hoping to get the videos titled "ASMR Boyfriend Plays With You Instead [M4A] [Teasing] [Ear-to-Ear Whispers]" (yt link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHbNtj1WO4M )

and "ASMR Boyfriend Teaches You How to Play 7 Minutes in Heaven [M4A] [Teasing] [Ear-to-ear whispers]" (yt link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNQhJyU61s4 )

Edit: managed to find these two, plus a few others. I'll look into reuploading @.@

Edit 2: here's my yt channel where I reuploaded them. not all are up yet, a couple more going up later.

Hopefully it's fine to share a bunch in one thread, I didn't want to spam this community haha. These are all more feminine/girly/female-oriented communities here on kbin. I figured lemmy users might have a hard time finding them so I wanted to share.

GirlGames@kbin.social - gaming community oriented around girly/cute game; dress up, otome games, etc. guys welcome too.

girlyposting@kbin.social - for shitposting in cute/girly/pink aesthetic the kind you'd find on girlytwt, pinktwt or sanriotwt

Sanrio@kbin.social - sanrio community! hello kitty, my melody, etc.

GirlGamer@kbin.social - the opposite of the GirlGames community. Meant for women who game and play any sort of games.

AnimalCrossing@kbin.social - for the nintendo series "animal crossing"

Otomegames@kbin.social - for otome games (romance visual novels for women) specifically.

relevant magazine is /m/RedditMigration here on kbin.social. You can see it's the one and only report in the modlog yet the user who removed the comment is not listed in the moderators list, is not even a kbin.social user, and did not remove a lemmy.ml comment. Yet, it was removed for me as a kbin.social user.

How is this moderation working exactly? It's understandable that lemmy.ml mods can remove things for lemmy users, and mods on a magazine can remove things on the magazine. But it seems this is an unrelated user, removing a post of a user from an unrelated instance from a unrelated magazine.

How is this possible? what's going on here?

Edit: I checked on lemmy.world's copy and the comment is still visible, meaning the removal did not federate to lemmy.world.

Stumbled upon someone who seemed completely opposed to the idea of federation and the fediverse. Like, if you are opposed to federation then why are you on here? They seemed to be pretty confused about what the fediverse is all about and likely joined due to misleading advertisements.

#fediverse

Idk what the culture is over there but it was just a bit funny to see the entire thread I was replying to just removed. Like that doesn't happen here on kbin lmao. a bit of a culture clash there I guess.

I wonder if that's the norm for lemmy and beehaw? Here on kbin basically nothing is removed it seems. at least for now.

As kbin gets more popular I've started to notice a recurring trend: when people respond to my comments I will get notified. I click on the notification, and it brings me to the thread.

In most cases it'll scroll down to my comment and the reply that I was notified of, so I can respond back.

however, if the thread is large kbin splits up the comments into separate "pages". and if my comment and the reply happens to not be on the first page, it won't be shown and won't be scrolled to. instead I have to manually click through each page of the thread and look for my comment and the reply.

once kbin starts getting bigger (along with the fediverse as a whole) I imagine there will likely end up being hundreds of these pages, and it'll be impossible to find my comment again.

Perhaps this is a bug? But it'd be nice if clicking the notification brought me to my actual comment and the reply, rather than just the thread as a whole (and scrolling to the comment). The latter is nice when threads are small, but when they get larger it becomes unusable. When I click the notification, I wanna immediately be able to respond to the person replying, not have to dig through the thread again.

I think kbin already supports viewing a single comment+replies, so it should be an easy enough change? @ernest I know you've got a lot on your plate right now but please consider this :)

Me when I finally figure out how regular microblog posting on kbin works (you just select "random" magazine, that's the unclassified category). #cute #wholesome #meme
