Source is instance sidebar, but if you’re using an app that’s gonna be found in a variety of places. In Voyager for example it’s under Communities>3 dot menu in the upper right>Instance sidebar.

Tbh for all anyone knows they may be petting tardigrades regularly

Personally not much into short form video, but thought I’d keep people in the loop on new entrants to the field. From the sounds of it this is still very early in development given the various missing features mentioned at the end.

This reminds me that I should look more into how much one owns an online space anyway. Any time stuff like this comes up it occurs to me as I remember reading about site owners getting into disputes with hosting companies like GoDaddy, or sometimes domain registrars.

Anyway, if you’re overly online, spinning up your own online space is definitely better than being dependent on far more fickle corporate platforms, so well worth considering.

Under this scheme, the equity investor floated cash flow to make the movie. They would recoup their $5 million investment, plus a 20 percent premium — so, $6 million goes to the investor. The sales agent would also take a 10 percent fee from the sale; that’s $700,000. From the $7 million sale, that leaves $300,000 to split between the investor and the filmmakers.

I get why the investor is getting that split at the end that I’ve emphasized, but put in these terms it reads as such a clear dick move, and this is supposed to be a rosy scenario. Like they recoup their investment with an additional million on top, and they want a cut of what little’s left to the creatives? As if they need another $150k when they’re out there floating millions for productions. 😒

One can only imagine how much worse the real terms are if this is anything close to okay terms for indie productions.

Whenever you like, honestly. It’s mostly a nice acknowledgment to the poster that you appreciated their post. Unlike commercial social media it’s not sending out anything to your followers that you interacted with it (at least last I checked).

I think many people boost more than favorite because it functions a little similarly in regards to acknowledgment, with the bonus that it helps share the post to others which is even more relevant in federated networks than on centralized platforms.

Also if it’s not that, it may be related to account language settings. Same deal, go into settings under profile/account and check that you have undetermined selected along with any other languages you want to be able to see.

Edit:
Almost forgot, to select multiple languages you’ll have to hold Ctrl and click each one in the Web UI (I think probably Photon as well).

No, sorry. To put it in your terms Lemmy would be a “platform” like how you describe Mastodon/Pixelfed.

The reason I suggested mentioning feddit.org instead is because it’s what you’re using and where someone else could sign up and join easily.

Mentioning Lemmy (or Mastodon/Pixelfed) doesn’t tell people any site to sign up on, just what tech they’re built with.

Focus on making posts you want to discuss or would want to see in communities that interest you and you want to see active.

While I’d argue it’s better to shake off the platform thinking, the simple way to put it would be that you simply refer to the site you’re using, feddit.org, when mentioning it to others. The umbrella term for these connected sites is either fediverse or the open social web, whichever you prefer. Each site like this connects with one another, but given formatting differences (Pixelfed is more image-focused, Mastodon is microblogging), posts shared between them try to display in ways fitting one another’s format which can sometimes look rough.

You may see content from these other sites when browsing the main feed/front page set to All, which displays content from elsewhere that others on your site (feddit.org) have subscribed to.

This is funny and cool! I like the tiled/grid view even more after giving the demo a look. Not sure why but the instance sidebar as shown in the screenshot isn’t displaying in the demo on my end (Firefox), but probably related to being a weekend whip-up.

Still with the spirit of this as you mention in another comment, would love to see more experimental and strange frontends. It’d be fun to see more of the different Lemmy instances/sites with unique looks to distinguish themselves.

May want to cross-post this to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml.

You may want to be a little clearer. Are you after a mix of the old style Reddit interface alongside what RES added?

If so I can’t remember what RES added, but I gather it’s enough that the old style frontend may still feel lacking and the others aren’t scratching that itch either.

There’s also this:
https://frontpage.fyi/

Not sure which of the two has been around longer, but looks like frontpage is also pretty slow going.

I believe they’re backseat moderating given my replies to a couple other posts here recently, where I reminded people of Rule 4, where we encourage people to provide some context, opinion, or adjustment of title to encourage discussion.

See:

4. Link posts should include some context/opinion in the body text when the title is unaltered, or be titled to encourage discussion.

The aim of this rule is not to be told how to think or what opinion one should have, but exactly what it says: encourage discussion. Article/document links without any context or indication of why OP’s sharing it don’t really do that. It’s similar to someone randomly handing out flyers or pamphlets somewhere.

In any event both of you are violating rule 2, and this makes OP’s second time this week doing this, so I’ll be handling this accordingly.

Pretty sure it may be Ex Machina.

Would you add some body text, context/opinion/summary, in accordance with rule 4?

Unfortunately this has Denuvo to restrict your use of your purchase. Was hoping after their first title getting criticized for this they may have changed course on that, but appears not.

Would recommend waiting till that’s removed, maybe in a GOG release.

Would you add some context/opinion to the body text to bring this in line with rule 4, to better invite discussion?

Pretty much, yeah. Buried by marketing and mostly kept that way by it dominating conversations.

Been occasionally posting creative commons music and some fully free games to try to be the change I want to see.

Technically it may be, in terms of library.

However there are a few alternatives to look into that, while not matching the scale of their library, still have enough to consider.

For older anime there’s Retrocrush, which offers a fair amount of shows to watch for free (but with ads), no account required. Some are only accessible with an account and via subscription, however.

Interestingly though, some of those shows are available on other services no subscription required, like Tubi or Pluto.

Speaking of, it turns out Crunchyroll apparently cut a deal with Pluto, so there’s a Crunchyroll channel on there where you can catch some of their anime freely (again, with ads though). Besides that there’s also a separate anime channel and a few dedicated marathon channels to more popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc.

There’s also lower amounts still to be found on the other general streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, but it obviously doesn’t fully compare.

Also while not newer and their library is way smaller, for some anime movies you might see if your local libraries offer digital services like Hoopla or Kanopy. With those you may be able to check out some great anime movies.
