  • Not going back to Jerboa unless the basic feature of searching contents other than just communities is implemented. I find this fundamental feature sorely lacking in Jerboa while every other app around there have this.

    Kind of surprising, because this is pretty basic feature, and has been open for over two years.




  • Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.

    As someone else said in this thread, I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

    The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.

    I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.















  • I, too, do not have answers to these questions.

    What I do know, is that - “The internet is as Transient or as Permanent as you want it to be”.

    Public resources like Community funded open source projects - e.g. GNU Project and Linux have long been established names - while inspite of being backed by heavyweight Corporations, people hardly remember Entities like Orkut, Myspace, Digg nowadays.

    Yes, indie servers may go down more frequently than their heavyweight corporate competitors, but there will always be new minds cropping up who believe in FOSS philosophy and sharing - because lack of Monopoly is what makes Fediverse a nice place.
