On lemmy? No. The devs decided to do a single page app with a REST API, which leads to the sluggishness and slow load-time. kbin (which is compatible with lemmy’s content) is your best bet, IMHO. https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
I’m too used to lemmy unfortunately, and kbin is far from perfect.
/r/videos that’s where I used to get my daily shot of youtube. But with youtube starting to block ablocker it might be good for me to quit.
/r/fixedbytheduet would be nice as well, but lemmy doesn’t allow uploading videos :(
The issue is the compatibility. You can follow Lemmy from Mastondon, but not vis-versa.
Lemmy is pretty dismissive of the rest of the fediverse.
mullvad for movies, and spotify for music.
The issue with streaming companies is the exclusivity. I would happily pay for Netfix if I could watch Ted Lasso (= Apple+) and Halo (= Paramount+) on it.
But if you want access to original series you have to buy the platform. I pay around €45 total in VPNs, Seedboxes, Usenet indexers… per month. I would happily pay for Netfix if I had access to everything in the world for up to €50/month. But with netflix you get access to a shitty catalogue on only one device for €8/month… That’s not okay for me.
Hosting a mail server is really easy. Making sure Hotmail, Gmail and others accept your emails is a nightmare.
I don’t host my own email, I just delegate my email management to a small provider.
