Just line the parade route and turn your backs on him and his brownshirts as they pass by.

A simpler time... when a fan could post a GIF of Spock shagging a sheep without having to worry about being downvoted. Only about how many people signed their guestbook.

My software chops begin and end with: 10 PRINT "HELLO, WORLD" 20 GOTO 10

Good to hear devs are working on it.

Thanks for the info.

In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for 'elena rossini', compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn't include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.

???

Saw your reply, tried new search: "Introducing the Fediverse"... 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched... and it works! (Although... how did you get it? I can't see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!

Also, tried searching for "[email protected]"

  • a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
  • finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)... but no videos... not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I'm on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name... no videos.

???

So, there's a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video... if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance's search bar.

Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).

A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.

I'm still new to the Fediverse; how do I view that link in my home instance of Peertube (peertube.wtf) so that I can save, upvote, comment etc?

Me neither.

  • Browser: Zen (mod of Firefox)
  • Extension: LibRedirect (pre-installed in Zen IIRC)
  • App: FreeTube

I click on a YouTube link and it opens in FreeTube, no ads.

Every now and then, videos won't play because of some change by Google, usually it's just a day or so until FreeTube releases an update that works again.

I instantly recognized the intro. I've been listening to the Extended Boilerhouse Mix of A Tribe Called Quest's Can I Kick It? for three and half decades and somehow only today connected these two tracks.

Truly groundbreaking.

My school (UK, 1980s) offered Mandarin as an extracurricular course. I signed up, showed up... and was the only student. One-on-one classes the rest of the year :)

(Just don't try grilling me in Mandarin now, though.)

What can we do about posts that contain a link but are not a "link post"?

E.g. a post like below that (I think) is an image post but also has a link
