Can we not make everything about Reddit please? It’s a website, not your ex. Move on.

Really enjoying the experience! Works well for me, so I am happy!

He should not get near any building with windows.

Of course these performance issues are a bit annoying, but I gotta say that I love these updates and explanations here. Great communication, keep it up, please!

Two days ago I let my heavy glas water bottle drop right on my left foot, so that it bruised and bled right away. Today I get an Amazon delivery and I know the guy just rings once, waits a couple of seconds and then leaves. So I ran to the door, but I slipped and I hit my right foot on the door full speed. Both my feet hurt while walking. I am having a day in bed now. Hope your days have been better, folks.

If anyone is new and wonders if it has always been so slow and buggy: not really. Been here for 3 weeks or so and it was mostly pretty good experience, but last days were pretty bad. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I think it depends which one you take, how open they are for external software. But with Firesticks or cubes you can do 100%. With others it might be worth googling beforehand, if Stremio can be installed on that specific tv box you choose. On those boxes you just need Stremio as an app. The app on your box then syncs with the settings and addons you have in the desktop version, so no hassle.

The easiest would probably getting a FireStick and just putting stremio as an app there. So your girlfriend can always go to the same place and find all of her shows/movies in great quality in one spot.

Not too long ago I was worried that this place may get deserted after a first boost, but it is awesome to see that more and more people are coming. So glad this is happening and it already feels like a really good alternative to Reddit!

This is a guide that someone on Reddit wrote and it helped me a lot. It looks complicated with the first glance, but when you do the steps it takes less than 15 minutes. I changed the order of the original slightly and added a few infos to make it easier:

"Guide installing Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debird on your desktop.

Stremio

Go to https://www.stremio.com/ Download the relevant client for your platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) Open Stremio and sign up with email or facebook

Real Debird

Go to https://real-debrid.com/ Sign up Go to Premium Offers ($3 for one month, $16 for 6 months) Choose a package and subscribe

Torrentio

Go to https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure Choose your options for providers, quality, foreign language etc You can now choose to install Torrentio without a Debid Provider. Personally I use Real Debrid to connect directly to a server vs having my IP shared in peer to peer and to speed up performance. Torrentio has a slot for a possible API key (the Real Debrid key) To install with Real Debrid follow the next steps: Go to the API key with this link: https://real-debrid.com/apitoken Copy the API Key and go back to Torrentio and paste it under RealDebird API Key Install

Stremio with Torrentio installed

Check the addon installed correctly Click the puzzle piece up on the top right that says ‘Show All Addons’ Click My Addons and scroll until you see Torrentio Test stream a movie or TV show Go to Discover Click on a Movie or TV show and click ‘Show’ You should now see [RB+] Torrentio - Quality Enjoy streaming"

Yeah same, I got it on my Firestick and it works like a charme! Got my vpn on the Firestick active as well and I could not be happier!

Streaming companies are lucky that not more people know about Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid. That combination is a game changer and allowed me to get rid of all streaming services.

it just looks like you are not subscribed, but you actually are already. What helped for me to get rid of this bug was to just try unsubscribing and subscribing a couple of days later.

In the end it probably also comes down to two things: personal preference of design/look and how active the community is on each plattform. I for example stopped using kbin cause here are far more users and I like the look and feel of Lemmy more. Also there are a few good apps to help me completely stay off reddit.

I have just read about it in a different comment as well, tried it and it does feel a bit like coming home. Thank you for recommending it to me as well, it’s wonderful to see that it gets easier and easier to take part here!

Tried “Memmy” before and right now I like Thunder a bit more. The UI looks cleaner to me, it works well. Good job, I have put it on my phone where I used to have Apollo.

If somethings takes less than 5 minutes to do, do it right away. Don’t waste time thinking about when to do it, reminding yourself the whole time, risk forgetting about it, don’t procrastinate about it. Do it right away. You get so much more stuff done and are way less stressed.

I had a few different ones (Surfshark, Mullvad, Vypr), but in the end I just really liked Proton the most. It is not the cheapest, but the UI of their software is easy, I can use it on all my devices (including fire stick), it works well with streaming services like Netflix and I recently upgraded to pay 2€ more per month and now I got a cloud drive of 500GB, some mail adresses and other stuff on top. I can recommend it because for me it just works flawlessly and the speed is good.

There is a feature called “block community”, but so far it seems like it doesn’t really work cause when I click on it, nothing happens. Blocking users works, though. So maybe only a matter of time to block instances/communities?
