Way to blame the victim!
This is a result of anti-competitive business practices and legislative capture in the U.S. It’s not going to change until things change over there or until the rest of the world decouples from them somehow.

The amount of furry / anime content on the front page might be putting off some new users

0-comment posts should be at the bottom of the default feed for this reason. That way new users don’t get scared by the awkward silence

Yeah Piefed is great. It’s a night and day difference in experience really

Thanks for your input!
I’m already using https://pisignage.com/ for automatically advancing slides in the building. Now I just need a simple presentation tool to manually advance the slides during classes

This is a great idea and reading through all these other replies points the same direction. I will try just that!

Ok so I just installed Navidrome and the web UI looks modern and promising. However it seems to have the same bug as other services I tried earlier: If the artist name or album name has any umlaut letters (like ä, ö, ü) then all tracks on that album are displayed twice. Any idea what’s causing that for me?

Thanks! Checking it out right now!

- Comment on Tempus v4.1.3 android subsonic client release 1 month ago:
After using this app (v4.5) for a few days, I’d say it’s otherwise great, but I’m getting server is unreachable errors after 1-2 songs in a queue. I disabled battery optimization for the app already, so that shouldn’t be the issue…
I especially love the way this app removes duplicates being added to playlist. Wonder why so many other clients don’t get that right…
The buffering options could be more transparent (like how many songs are pre-loaded for instance) - Comment on Tempus v4.1.3 android subsonic client release 1 month ago:
This looks really good! I’ve been desparate to find a good subsonic client, since the ones I use aren’t updated anymore

Interesting. I find flooding Lemmy with 0-comment posts rather a disservice to it instead. I come here for the discussion, not for random links to articles.

After “This isn’t my main account” I was expecting piping hot takes from the noblest edge-lord and was only slightly let down.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 4 months ago:
I used spotify for a few months about 10 years ago until they doubled their price and removed songs that I had saved in playlists. Since then I haven’t bothered with streaming.

Hmm that is alarming then. To be honest I didn't read the complete article, which you linked, but on first glance paints a very different picture.

Coal use isn’t cast as a sign of villainy, as it would be among some circles in the U.S. – it’s simply seen as outdated. This pragmatic framing, Fishman argued, allows policymakers to focus on efficiency and results rather than political battles.

There's truly something for western politicians to learn from this - Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 5 months ago:
This article was right up my alley. I've been considering buying a cheapo smartwatch. I suppose this one couldn't be used as a mp3 player for jogging though.
- Comment on UK: X's design and policy choices created fertile ground for inflammatory, racist narratives targeting Muslims and migrants following Southport attack 5 months ago:
Glad to hear I'm not alone with these thoughts!
I propose, as a counter movement, automatic engagement; Instead of "liking" or "upvoting", leave a comment every time you see something you support. And try to abstain from commenting on ragebait or otherwise intentional attention seeking. If enough people start doing this, the algorithm should start adapting to prefering more substantial or positive material, right? I know it sounds naive, but worth a shot!
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 5 months ago:
Apology accepted! Let's just both agree to pick up some litter the next time we go to the beach.
Unfortunately my hometown still allows indoors smoking etc so we're still pretty far from a ban. But it will come I'm sure.

The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can't expect much to change there.

Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment
- Comment on UK: X's design and policy choices created fertile ground for inflammatory, racist narratives targeting Muslims and migrants following Southport attack 5 months ago:
I'm no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up "engagement" it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This "attention economy" needs to end somehow.
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 5 months ago:
Wow that was a lot of vitriol in one post. Hope you're doing ok.
Over here these disposable vapes are unfortunately not banned (which I would prefer too) so taxation would be a step in the right direction. We do have litter here too though, as has been the case with mankind since day one of civilization.
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 5 months ago:
These things should be taxed heavily

That function doesn't seem to function properly btw. I have tried with "meme" and "politics" and communities with those words in them still keep popping into my feed on PieFed.
