For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Curious to know of this would cause federation issues or anything. The instances would be using different domain names but on the same VPS

Im likely closing my instance soon due to costs and im sad my comments will disappear and remove and context and replies to them breaking many threads. Is it possible to preserve the comments someway or maybe migrating the comments to a another instance?

I want to be able to type yt-dlp [url] and have it automatically use --sponsorblock-remove CATS to remove sponsored section from the download file without having to type --sponsorblock-remove CATS everytime. Is this possible within yt-dlp?

enabling --write-subs, --write-thumbnail, by default for subtitles and thumbnails would also be convenient

I've never seen any website cause a firewall permission request

edit: The extension bow allows you to see Lemmy comments on any website on the web! As long as there is a Lemmy thread with the same URL as the website one you’re on when you click the extension a popup will appear displaying Lemmy threads and comments which you can vote and reply to!

A couple weeks ago I reached out to the dev that makes the Reddit Comments for Youtube extension and asked him to enable support for Lemmy. The developer was already rewriting the extension and decided to implement Lemmy support as well! Here's the GitHub and FireFox links. It also available for Chrome iirc.

The comments appear after you select an instance in the extension's menu on any youtube video that has been posted to any Lemmy instance with a full url without a timecode. Invidious links and Lemmy comments on invidious instances still aren't supported but since its supported by the Reddit comments it should be possible if someone submits a PR.

Theres been a lot of really amazing looking animated films by indie studios in china but sadly some of them are exclusively available to chinese viewers via geoblocking. Anyone here able to download and share them?

These are anthologies with many indie studios making different episodes.

Here is the link that shows from the first seasons information https://www.catsuka.com/news/2022-09-20/capsules-project-omnibus-chinois-de-14-court-metrages-produit-par-bilibili-avec-des-studios-indes

There’s this great ios Shortcut called Avert Paywall With Archive.is that has been working for years but as of ios 17.1 it no longer works because the safari browser that pops up gets stuck halfway.

Does anyone here have enough experience making Shortcuts to fix it? It would be really helpful. Here’s the link to it: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/81c670b532e340e38a35cc62e3e9397d

Is there a way to bypass mega's transfer quota with paying for a vpn or anything?

I just discovered it today and I'm considering setting it up to use instead of LocalSend. Have any of you used TailDrop before? I don't use TailScale so I'm not really sure I want to set it up just for sending files from my phone to my PC but the share menu options does seem convenient and it would be cool to be able to send any photos etc to my pc when I'm not home and have them their when I arrive sorta like I used pushbullet in the past.

I remember seeing this app a couple months ago and being excited about a team finally doing this. They've been available in New York City for a while and now they're trying to raise money to expand to more places. Hopefully they open source the app\server in the future since it would be great to have more co-op apps for the other "gig economy" style apps.
