Jellyfin has certainly improved a lot since I started using it a couple of years ago. I remember when the web UI was much slower and posters would fail to load. Things are faster now and more consistent.

With that said, there are still some big issues that I encounter. Adding a new show has its individual episodes count towards the "Latest" item limit so a single big show can completely dominate that section with a single entry. Adding multiple episodes of a show simultaneously results in randomly ordered "new content" notifications which look really bad when output in something like Discord notifications. The web app has a pretty dated UX.

I think it's important to be real when talking about something like Jellyfin so it's not misrepresented. It's a rough product that is constantly being improved, albeit slowly.

There's also a whole other conversation to be had about the job of self-hosting Jellyfin vs. letting Plex snoop on your activity and habits.

 

I recently got Discord notifications working through the webhook plugin, but they get quite messy when adding multiple episodes of a show, with the episodes not being in any particular order. Does anyone know a way to get them ordered?

I'm thinking this is a core Jellyfin issue because web notifications for mass additions of show episodes also get thrown out in a random order all at once.

Looking through the cached files I've found at least one image file that's 694x694px, not exactly thumbnail size.

Is this a repost? I've seen this exact same post somewhere.

Anyway, SimpleX may not be decentralized OOTB, but can be made to be since their relays are self-hostable. It should be as simple as spinning up an instance and changing the url in app.

Drawing Sonic like this is extremely inappropriate...

IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting "burned out" is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term "exhausted" the same interpretation of the phrase:

Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it's not individuals getting "exhausted", but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

A more correct title would be something like:

Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last

Isn't this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don't actually get "burned out" at all. And imo it's not like the real reason is uninteresting.

Why dress the article in the exact thing it's refuting?

I would hope in the future we get a more fleshed out version of multireddits. I think it would be a decent solution since I don't think duplication of communities is a phenomenon that will ever go away.

Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.

That's a really annoying issue. Not being able to trust an instance to keep your account alive plants the seeds for a centralization problem in the future.

Agreed, though I think it's less "we don't want you here" and more "you're on your own". I liken it to Linux in that sense where new users are expected to try harder to learn the ins and outs. The difference is with Linux what you learn can be applied in so many more places in your Linux experience. With Lemmy, once you grasp the technical depth of it there's not much you can do with it except explain it to another person.

I agree, though I probably wouldn't call it marketing or advertising. Maybe just a better and more accessible introduction and onboarding experience.
