I’ll take “Artisan”!

Over the last few days I’ve tested substreamer, DSub, Symfonium, Ultrasonic and Tempo. I thought that Symfonium was the clear winner (once I’d found the setting to use a local cache) with DSub being next. I wanted to be able to browse albums by genre - others might not care and rate them differently.

Symfonium is closed source and not free, which might be a deal-breaker for some, but it’s a small one-off payment to an indie dev which is A-OK with me. Turns out it’s the same dev that wrote Yatse (xbmc/kodi remote) which I’d also paid for.

edit: Ah, the other comments hadn’t federated - I see I’m in good company!

Looks good, but this bit made me raise an eyebrow or two:

Powerful Mod Tools

This is patently false - the like of Beehaw are thinking of moving off of Lemmy because the moderation toolset’s almost non-existent and the devs don’t seem to think it’s important.

KKR?

As a user, I don’t want to share my downloaded images if people can use that to datamine my Lemmy browsing, so I wouldn’t use it.

Yes, instances could do the bulk of the sharing, but then that’s just downloading and rehosting images with extra steps.

Something like Veilid would be more interesting.

Firefox + uBlock is my suggestion too, it makes mobile browsing bearable.

Thanks for asking this, one of the devs in the AMA was talking about Bittorrent for sharing the serving of instance-hosted files in a way that made me think “sounds like you want IPFS”. Now I’m not so sure.

That seems to be a pretty serious set of problems.

I was going to point out the ⭐ bookmark feature, but I see you’re on kbin - I guess they don’t have that feature?

Is that the right URL? First it’s blocked by uBlock and then when I get through it’s an error page.

That’s from June 2020, so it’s not older than phones being widely used. It shouldn’t be too hard to stick some media queries in and get it functional on smaller screens, so hopefully someone’s done that work since.

I find the same, although I haven’t updated it for years - perhaps the newer versions aren’t as bad?

What I’ve learnt from this is that I need to find better sources of live sports.
