    I get the desire for a centralized location but I was hoping Lemmy would be the spot. Forums just seen so fragmented, it’s nice to go to one place to see all the discussion instead of having several subpages which honestly have little action. https://lemmy.ml/c/jellyfin seemed like the best replacement for r/Jellyfin

    Congrats, that’s the kind of mentality that will make me move from Plex to Jellyfin tomorrow evening :)

    As someone who had to Google a bunch of docker issues and constantly got redirected to locked down subreddits, I’m all for developers hosting their own communities. At least then they have an incentive to keep the communities alive.

        Absolutely agree that hiding knowledge behind a paywall is crappy. I hit that issue so many times with Red Hat that I standardized on debian variants.

        Searching, while a function of any modern forum, is easily bypassed with a modern search engine / crawler. Unless the forum admin takes the unlikely step of disabling web crawlers on their site, you can pass the site:<website> filter into your search. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=subtitles+site%3Aforum.jellyfin.org&ia=web shows forum posts regarding subtitles.

        Chats are not forums. Discord is the same bullcrap than Reddit and Facebook, just newer on the enshittification cycle. People should just have forums and someone could make a containerized microservice that federates it to Activity Hub. Now it’s searchable, indexable, publicly available and archivable.

    Nice. I know most here are used to how Reddit structures their content, or are on the federation bandwagon. Personally I’m just happy to see the internet get a little more decentralized.

    On a related note I should set up and play around with some old school forum software. It’s been a few years since I’ve looked at it.

    Says “no fee, no tracking, no hidden agenda”

    Yet somehow they are offering this for free? How exactly are they keeping themselves supported?

    That is (jelly)fishy…

      I was just thinking that common forum software implementing ActivityPub would be a great way to link all of these disparate web forums that are still active and have useful content.

        You kind of can with wordpress and the AP plugin. it works with bbpress --maybe not perfectly yet, but it’s a start.

    But can you make a lemmy.world feed as well. Having one place to go for everything is better than 100 places.

      I think that’s the point. They are not in 100 places, they are in one. If you want support about Jellyfin, you go to Jellyfin. It was always kind of stupid with Reddit.

      I need support with Jellyfin, so I go to Google, write my query, add Reddit at the end, go to result that may or may not be related, try to discover the difference between the 3 or 4 different but related subreddits to find out which one is the official. Discover that none of them is. Find another sub about cutting cable. There’s a vague answer that’s similar to your issue but not exactly. Maybe try asking them directly on Twitter.

      Now you just go to jellyfin.org and the forum is right there, search there for your issue or write your answer. All in one single official place that is looked at and maintained by the very same team. It’s just better overall

        I meant, jellyfin, jellyseer, all the arrs are convient when i can go to one place to look at possible issues im having in one place, i.e. reddit. But since reddit decided to do what they did, thats now lemmy. Yes it was annoying but logging into multiple website ls is also annoying. Thats the only reason i use discord as well. One platform multiple spaces.
