I’m on the latest beta build and I can’t replicate your crash.
Your first link errors out for me, the second one takes me to the comments with the giant image. This is what I see, no crashing after being there several minutes but the image doesn’t seem to show.
If I actually click the post the image loads like normal.
Thanks for the great dev work.
Can confirm, on the latest beta build.
Nice work, it looks comfy.
Stockholm syndrome?
Even on mobile it’s a couple clicks away from being on or off. Saves me more time than it costs when something doesn’t work the way I want.
Well said, and the things you’ve listed are why I’ve begun to de-google myself. After decades of wishing they’d fix certain products and features or compromising just to keep everything under one roof, I’m done with them.
I appreciate the role they played in helping shape the internet, but I won’t be a part of helping them try to kill it.
Seconded, and very appreciative that Boost was ported over.
Until the drama on Reddit started I had never heard of Lemmy, but I knew reddit was becoming increasingly hostile towards its users and the content more and more bot reposts instead of new ones.
Lemmy seems to have kept a lot of the things I used to enjoy about reddit, but for now is smaller and more personal interactions on posts and within communities. It reminds me a lot of the old phpbb/vbulletin days when communities were smaller and more tight knit than Facebook/Twitter/Reddit ever were.
YouTube filtering is fairly unique to YouTube since they serve ads so aggressively so it’s unlikely to help on other sites.
Ideally you’d use both. Something like a pihole to serve as a first wall of defense for the entire network, and then additional things like uBlock Origin for any device with a browser that supports it, for some more granular control.
This is how I keep my home setup.
The pihole has a fairly loose blocking setup because some people in the house need access to things that would normally get blocked and I’m not spending weeks unblocking specific things until everyone is happy.
Behind the pihole everyone has their own suite of browser extensions and software to block what they would like at a much more personal level.
And this is why you VPN.
