There’s a web app in addition to the electron desktop apps, you can find an example here: https://feishin.vercel.app/
Just pulled the latest and tried again, and it works now! Thanks
Dude this is amazing! Exactly the sort of thing I’ve been hoping would pop up to further “decentralize” the torrent search experience.
So I’m trying to run it on my machine through the docker-compose option, and I’m seeing something weird. It shows as successfully running, but when I go to the port it should be running on, I get “unable to connect” on my browser.
When I check my containers running, it shows the 3 bitmagnet containers, but the port doesn’t show.
Ah good to know, thanks!
I use PodGrab, and think it’s great for saving local copies of podcast episodes to your server:
I think that’s only if they detect that you’re connected to an IP address that they recognize as part of a commercial VPN service, since i’m sure they have a list.
I use netflix when connected to tailscale VPN on both my phone and apple tv and it works fine, since the exit node that netflix is receiving my connection from isn’t a commercial VPN IP
How so? that’s the much bigger instance.
The common complaints i’ve read are that it had mediocre battery life and the screen felt cramped.
I believe that’s what the author of the repository is doing, and they’re then filtering out torrents without seeders and adding the list of magnets to the .csv file.
If I had to guess, that’s probably for the Speech to Text feature, so you can reject that permission if you don’t want to use speech to text.
There really needs to be an option for instances to upload images to imgur using their API.
imgur has been hosting images for years, and has the resources and experience to deal with stuff like CSAM.
It shouldn’t be the default/only option that hosting an instance means having to open the floodgates for anyone to upload images to their servers.
From a liability standpoint alone, it’s an absurd thing to just expect every instance to accept.
I get that the Lemmy devs are swamped with a lot of github issues, but how is this not one of, if not THE top priority for them right now? It’s mind blowing that instance admins don’t have the ability to disable the automatic caching of images from other remote instances.
If any shit show instance that ends up having CSAM can then cause an admin’s instance to inadvertently cache/host that same content, why the fuck would anyone be motivated to host an instance and deal with the liability?
If that was actually the reason, Apple wouldn’t have allowed OsmAnd Maps, Maps.me, etc. and yet they’re in the US app store.
I didn’t say they were OSS (though I agree that it would be much better if it was), and I actually had no idea it wasn’t available in the US app store, since I installed it a while back when it still was. Not sure what’s going on there.
Ah that’s strange, I wonder why that is. I installed it from the app store a while back before it was removed, which is why I still have it on my phone. Not sure why they did that.
That’s the thing, if instance admins do that to avoid duplicate communities, won’t that just mean that a few huge instances will be the ones with most of the popular communities, and have outsized sway/traffic costs?
Then we’re back to square one and defeat the whole purpose of distributing load across many medium instances. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?
So if the ideal Lemmy structure is a large number of medium sized instances, would you say there should be a mechanism (either at the API level or handled by clients) to randomly select a general purpose instance at sign up?
Ah interesting, thank you for the clarification!
Wow this is such a clean and snappy Lemmy client, may become my new daily driver!
The “For You” feed looks like it has a similar focus as the one I have on Agora, which is a webapp for following people across the “extended Fediverse” as I call it (Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Nostr).
The For You feed on Agora utilizes a fork of the open source FediAlgo library to create a feed that combines interesting posts from people you follow, as well as friends of friends, and it learns your preferences based on whose content you like/boost.
