So technical. Such error

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, “I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube).” I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than “dicking around online” you’ll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I’m sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than “so what do you do for work?”, which is what I’m asked constantly. “Yes, person who I don’t know, let me discuss work during my free time with you.”

Fair enough, but it is a decent video guide. I had trouble finding another one that went into as much detail and was step by step

Linus has a full walkthrough video on how to set this up. I followed it and it appears to be working. I run it on my always on PC and set my address as the home for Netflix. Others have android TVs and have been using the app to check in and continue watching “while traveling”. No issues so far. If they stay connected the bandwidth will go through your network, so keep that in mind

It’s a mastodon bot, but due to federation it works with lemmy also. Gotta love the fediverse.

Open the link from lemmyverse in a browser tab and click Subscribe. If on mobile you might have to expand the sidebar first. Then go back to Jerboa.

Web archives extension for Firefox. Click it and select to open on archive.is. Alternatively, go to archive.is manually and paste your link. If it has been archived already it’ll load right up. If it hasn’t, then you submit it and it’ll take a little bit but with be available shortly.

If your home instance is on BE 17.4 this is a bug with active and hot scores. This is fixed in BE 0.18.0, but many instance owners are holding back until 0.18.1 when Captcha support is implemented (so bots don’t flood in). You can check the BE version (back end version) of your instance on the website at the bottom.

Good news is that as of this morning the Captcha code was merged into the main branch on GitHub, so I expect 0.18.1 to come likely this week. If you are on 0.17.4, for now just sort by new and hold tight for your instance to update

Only thing to know now is install the free version of sync for reddit. The dev will update it with a splash screen sometime this weekend with instructions on how to move to Lemmy. Also, I would lower your expectations. The first version released is very likely to be a bare bones test build. It will take time to get as polished and feature rich as Sync for Reddit is. Jerboa for Android is likely to remain the best option until other apps like Sync have time to catch up.

If he goes that route I would prefer a lifetime option as well

It’s a bug that wasnt an issue when the community was smaller. Last I heard they will replace it with a refresh icon that pops up at the top when new posts are available.
