It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • footnote 3: And by extension: any feature that speeds up the audio or video we consume

    I disagree that speeding up something is the same thing at all. Playing something at a constant rate (faster or slower) still maintains the editorial choices that the author was talking about.

    I speed up plenty of things I listen to, and it’s not (primarily) to get through them quicker.

    Across the world it’s the case that city folk tend to speak quicker than their rural countrymen. American speak slower, on average, than Brits. And that’s fine! However, I find it hard to maintain focus when the speech is too slow - so speeding it up allows me to enjoy it like intended.

    I definitely agree that the trim silence feature sound awful.





  • I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

    I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.












  • You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

    I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).


  • What features are you looking for? As others have said, if you just want somewhere you can store images yourself, you don’t even need software aside from a webserver and something to upload with.

    But there’s also things like user accounts, tagging, browsing/discovery, plus whatever else gfycay does/did.

    Anyway, just to actually give you a suggestion, chevereto is used by a friend and it’s a lovely user experience (can’t tell you about the admin side, though). [edit: This uses folders to organise - no tagging - so it might not meet your needs, which is why I was asking]
