I prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.
This would be huge, one of the biggest draws to Plex for me is being able to use a single account to watch content across all my friends servers from any Plex UI (be it the hosted one at app.plex.tv or the copy hosted with each Plex server)

There’s a server federation feature request currently marked as planned, so some form of that is probably coming at some point!

Whoa, super cool! I would love this
I am in the same boat, once Jellyfin makes it easier to share I will jump over.
Problem is you’re giving Plex access to everything in your library as well, which isn’t exactly palatable
People managing their own users is super nice too. Easy self service password resets without me having to do it for them.
