This post makes the Beehaw admins look really bad, to be honest. Personally, I had not even really noticed any big differences, so if you hadn't told me I wouldn't even know about them. The small differences that I did notice seem like improvements to me.

However, this post seems to be needlessly criticizing the Lemmy devs without any actual constructive feedback. The post is nothing more than "We would like to make you aware that the experience got worse and you SHOULD BLAME the devs!!" to me. It doesn't help anybody. It just makes you look very unprofessional, entitled and will damage your relation with the Lemmy devs. If you can't code and improve Lemmy yourself that way, that's totally fine. Don't like an update? That fine too! But if you want to be actually helpful and have your voice heard, go to Lemmy's Github page and give the devs constructive feedback. Report bugs when you run into issues or do a feature request for changes you'd like to see. Enter discussions about other bugs/requests. There are so many things you could do without the need to be a programmer.

But don't post a vague complaint to your community, pointing fingers and hoping to get more people angry to pressure the devs into what you want. I came to Beehaw because it promised to be a safespace. A positive place. The fact that an admin posted this complaint here doesn't reflect that idea at all to me.

I really hope you guys can see why this behaviour is not desirable and a one-time thing. Otherwise, I can't keep supporting Beehaw and would have to leave the instance for another, which would be a shame.

On Android, I use AntennaPod. Does everything I want from a podcast app and more.

I'm currently keeping a close eye on both Thunder and Liftoff.

Both have been really nice and interesting so far :) I would recommend trying both out and see of one fits your needs.

I have, it works great!

I used Newpipe for a while on Android, but recently I discovered LibreTube, which is now my favorite Youtube client on Android. It looks a bit more modern and it actually shows you child comments, instead of just the parent comments. I still use Newpipe as a backup, though.

On desktop, I either use FreeTube, MPV (Pairs great together with Qutebrowser or ytfzf) or simply Firefox with extensions.

Also, I only just noticed that Lemmy actually loads in newly posted comments live in the thread, without the need to reload the page. Very nice!

I agree. I'm still hoping some subreddits will move over to Lemmy, but I'm really enjoying Lemmy anyhow. The Lemmy communities seem generally really positive so far and there is enough content for me to enjoy. It even helps with reducing my time lost on the internet while still providing me with the community and information-influx that I enjoy. Quality over quantity. I also really love the idea of the technical parts: federated, open source and self-hostable.

Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more

As a big fan of My Analog Journey, I felt like sharing this one here. They have great music sets in many different genres of music, with many guest DJ's. This keeps it very fresh and it has led to me discovering a lot of new songs. This set is one of my favorites, especially on days with nice weather (like today here)

Looks great!

Complete dealbreaker for me. You'll never actually own games with such models, as you are completely dependand on the publisher. Once they pull the plug, you can't play the game you paid for. Server probleem? Sorry, you can't play right now. Traveling? Sorry, can't play.

It is also generally bad for modding and the overall user experience. These kind of games often have DRM that don't allow for modding

Thank you for sharing LibreTube! It's exactly what I was looking for!

I was starting to like NewPipe more since Revanced borked on my phone. However, it doesn't load child comments and the UI could use an update. LibreTube seems to improve on those exact issues!

[-] RiseAndShine@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, please! This looks amazing!

Same for me and I have to say, I'm really liking it here so far! The community is of course smaller, but it's still large enough to be engaging and the users are nice so far.
