Oh, I didn't know about the bot. So I guess that's Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn't work switching instance should do the job.

Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

I'm confused about "new pipe links".

Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

[–] SparkIT@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I have the same problem. I also tried installing the languages in troubleshoot mode but I got the same message.

It seems like it doesn't even try to connect, the message appears instantly when I click on install.

No problem with Firefox.

I'm using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD

There's also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I'm GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn't load but restarting foobar it's usually enough.

It's also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

Now that's a fedi answer 😎👍

TIL Reddit users have bios /s

That works for lemmy but it doesn't seem to be available on kbin yet.

also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities

Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don't have to scroll all the way down.

I didn't know about UDP xD

I remember being on Usenet but at the time I think the average user would have little to no knowledge on how the system worked. You just had to choose a server after reading a few guides and there was no rush.

I like how federation works but right now people come here with different expectations and when it occurs in waves I think it's too stressful.

Uh.. that's unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.

 

The list of subscribed magazines is available in profile/subscriptions as a list of contacts but is that the only way to see them?

I struggle going back to specific ones when I want to check new submissions and clicking on "Subscribed" in https://kbin.social/magazines switches to all threads.
