Since this post was made last week, we've gotten a lot of feedback regarding the new policy, and it's understandable that many of you are unhappy with the restriction. It makes it difficult to discuss how to effectively set up a full Plex server stack which includes a VPN and torrent solution which feed into Sonarr / Radarr / etc. So, after some discussion and thought, we've decided to loosen the rule a litte bit in order to better facilitate such discussions.
Moving forward, discussions regarding how to acquire media will be permitted. Users here who need help setting up and troubleshooting the means and methods of acquiring media - such as installing VPN and torrent client docker containers - may come here for help and users here may feel free to answer openly. Soon, we may feature guides in the sidebar to help facilitate these processes, as the goal here is to help Plex users set up and operate Plex Media Servers.
The line where it becomes unacceptable is where discussion veer into the acquisition of any specific media. Posts or comments asking how to find/acquire specific shows / films / albums and on are not permitted. As stated previously, there are other communities for that. Frankly, they’re better resources for that kind of help anyway.
We hope these loosened restrictions make it easier for users here to have open discussions and make it more clear that we're trying to focus on the purpose of helping Plex users set up, troubleshoot, and maintain their servers.
Rule 4 in the sidebar has been updated to reflect this shift in policy.
We welcome feedback and discussion in the comments below!
Cheers!

We apologize to the community for not including Plexamp releases posts here. It was a simple oversight and not an intentional exclusion. Future Plexamp releases will be posted here.
We will also be adding Plexamp and relevant links to the relevant guides in the sidebar over the next day or so.

It’s possible they had a dead BIOS battery, and whenever they had to boot up, they had to reset the BIOS clock, or the system would go haywire thinking it was Jan 1, 1992 or whatever the default date was.

not everybody. just one, particular sector of society.
Oops! All swastikas!
I like Mlem because it's a native iOS app developed in Swift and SwiftUI for everyone to be performant, beautiful, and accessible!
But I'm on the Mlem Team, so maybe I'm a bit biased :P

FYI, a lemmy iOS app, Mlem, is in active development, and we hope to be at 1.0 by July 1. It's heavily inspired by Apollo, but, obviously, with changes for lemmy.
Stay tuned and subscribe to c/mlemapp for updates!
Edit: I want to note that, since one of the biggest sticking points with 3rd-party apps has been both accessibility for the blind and deaf and mod tools, they're both on our minds as we design the interface. Getting both right will, of course, take time, but we want everyone to know that we fully intend to make our app usable for everyone.
