It’s certainly a nice app, but I’ve also grown attached to Connect over these last few weeks. I even donated to the dev, which is something my stingy ass never does.
While I loved Sync, I’m not paying $20/yr for any social media. If I recall, Sync Pro for Reddit was something like $5-6 lifetime. I’d pay that again without blinking an eye.
Note that Plex is against Cloudflare’s ToS. No guarantee they will terminate your account, but it’s a risk.
Could also consider Tailscale.
I’m happy with my RP3+. Surprisingly, I mostly use it to stream PC & PS5 games.
But the retro games are all there when I decide to quit playing Yakuza Kiwami…
They sent me an email saying my account was idle (an always on Wireguard for Plex).
I converted to the Pay As You Go plan, and I was good. And it was still free.
My work uses zScaler for its Internet web filters. zScaler has everything *.ml blocked.
So yeah, it’s fairly well-known to be sketchy.
Just looking at my list of subscribed communities… There are a lot on lemmy.ml.
They’re toast if Mali yoinks the domain name.
This seems really, really bad for Lemmy…
Right. This will basically make nearly every /c live in .world as all of the .ml /c’s go defunct. That, or Beehaw, which is walled off from everyone else.
(Side note… my work’s firewalls block everything *.ml – and that’s the only thing that saved me from creating my account there)
Ew. I bet it’s filled with nerds. Like me.
(Also, my wife probably wouldn’t be thrilled if I used this.)
EDIT: Dang it, Lemmy. This post is 2 years old.
I also bailed on mas.to, and made my own single-user instance…
I’m a simple man.

Probably why they’re sending out emails right now saying they’re transitioning to mandatory 2FA…
No doubt Threads-related…
Quite a few people on here really go off-the-rails when it comes to .world not coming out and outright blocking it before it’s a thing. (while also forgetting it affects Mastodon, and not-so-much Lemmy)
I went from 100/10 to 600/60Mbps.
I switched to T-Mobile home internet and it’s great.
(I actually did, and it actually is… I pay half what I paid to Comcast for 6x the speed)
If you do use Docker, Mastodon seems to be a prime example of where you shouldn’t use the : latest tag and autoupdate with something like Watchtower.
I initially installed with :latest a few days ago and it gave me 4.1.3 (the actual latest version had been 4.1.4 for quite awhile at that point). I saw other people mention that they “updated” to a 3.x release via :latest recently.
Mastodon migration is still somewhat limited.
Your posts don’t transfer over, being the big catch.
(Most everything else does, though)
Thanks… giving AntennaPod a try…
Well, crap. This feels like the first sign that the app is going to die when it doesn’t get enough money out of this price hike.
What’s a good open alternative?
To be totally honest, I’d prefer if Lemmy stuck to Lemmy, Mastodon stuck to Mastodon, etc…
Having structurally incompatible types of sites linking into each other is almost always messy. Sharing info between them is accomplished by just giving an URL more often than not.
I just finished migrating over to your instance from lemmy.world. I’m liking what I see. Everything seems nice & snappy. (One suggestion: consider turning on email verification to shut down potential bot accounts a bit more thoroughly)
It takes a bit more effort to setup your subscribed /c’s on a smaller instance (if you’re the first on the instance to sub to a /c, you need to already know the address for it). But once you’re subbed to everything you want, it’s business as usual. And without constant downtimes!
(EDIT: Had to log in to my old .world account to find this post to comment on it, since I had it bookmarked here)
