The bottom of the leaderboard is pretty great. (Only visible on desktop site. Click Rank to change the order)

I use Joplin and sync the notes between devices (including Android) with Syncthing. There’s lots of other options for syncing, but I already had Syncthing set up and liked it

Links to external instances should automatically be transformed

100% agree. Getting linked to other instances where I’m not signed in is a really clunky experience. It seems like that’s been happening less since I got on the Jerboa app (or maybe I’m just clicking on less links)

According to this you can even follow a peertube channel from Lemmy, though I haven’t been able to get that to work from either side. Curious if anyone else has?

Speaking of, got any good peertube channels? Tbh, I’m more familiar with nebula and floatplane - where YT creators made their own platform. Maybe that’s where things are headed

Yeah, good point. The others are mainly hosting text and some images

Fair point. I watch a lot of YT and block ads (though it sounds like they’re finally cracking down on that). I support some creators on Nebula and Patreon, but I guess YT Premium is basically like those.

I’m reading their FAQ here, but I’m still not sure how the money and hosting side works yet https://help.odysee.tv/category-basics/whatisodysee/

Edit: looks like it’s at least partially open source, maybe fully. It’s centrally-hosted and funded by ads, premium subscriptions, and some sort of crypto scheme that can boost a video’s discoverability. I’ve actually heard of some of the creators though (unlike PeerTube), so that’s interesting

Yeah, I wonder what the cost breakdown is for transcoding, storage, streaming, etc.

I have one too and also love it. Runs Linux just fine
