thank you, my bad for missing this.

 

i've been using jerboa since i've been on lemmy, and i quite like it, but my one gripe is that upon opening the app, the app is automatically set to browse "active" posts on "local" communities.

i'm subscribed to many off-instance communities, and i enjoy interacting with new posts. i'm wondering if there is client that i can set to browse in this manner (new posts, from all subscribed communities) by default, so i don't have to switch every time i open the app. thanks.

streaming services satisfy a demand that local libraries don't: the ability to interact with your library across all of your devices, wherever you are. i think having a media server is better than a local library for people who want to own their music anywhere.

i use slskd, beets, and navidrome on my homeserver. it's the best setup i've ever had. soulseek + navidrome offers a seemless method to listen to artists who aren't on streaming platforms, while retaining the convenience which keeps people stuck in streaming subscriptions (though this wasn't convenient to set up, lol. certainly worth it, however, and near-maintenance-less).

i even made my friend an account on the server and downloaded everything she wanted.

i know this guy has some separate use cases from me, but he seems to have separate use cases from most people. especially those who don't want to buy, mod, and carry an extra device around, and succumb to all the caviats that the device has.

sometimes it feels like my circumstances are entirely unique, since nobody in the privacy sphere really talks about the isolation that can come with cutting off your ties to data harvesters. but i guess my isolation runs deeper than that.

i deleted my instagram account recently after a few months of having it. i originally made my account reluctantly after some online friends asked me to. i was already a bit of an isolated person, but the pursuit of online privacy amplifies it. not to mention, i'm a neurodivergent queer person in a small town.

i dropped out of school after years of my disabilities going unacommodated, elementary school through high school. i'm now freshly 18 and just kind of existing. i've been looking for a job with no luck since i was 16. most of my friends i had at school have moved off to college, and the few left aren't a real pleasure to be with, so i avoid them.

i have no community in my town, in either school or job form, and it's hard to keep online friends when i'm constantly drifting away from the platforms they use to talk to one another. it's hard to make friends, too. i feel like, in order to click with someone, we must both possess an extremely specific set of compatible traits, or else conversations fall flat. when i narrow down my sights to people that only exist on privacy-friendly platforms, it becomes even harder to find someone—let alone a group of people—compatible with the way i socialize.

advice appreciated, but i'm mostly just putting this here to get it off my chest
