I just think more progress can be made in that direction.
I don’t disagree, but a big problem with jellyfin specifically, is that it’s just kind of a mess, don’t get me wrong, great piece of software, super functional, and works really well. but it’s also kind of fucking messy client side transcoding is still rather confusing, and some would be pretty nice UI and user elements simply don’t exist right now.
I think i would prefer a more featured rather bare bones system that requires a higher level of configuration, than something with less features, that ships what is ostensibly the minimum viable product, while being plug and play. Having good features is often going to make software better, even if it’s harder to use.
As far as I can tell, you are not self-hosting the Divisions by Zero Lemmy instance, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I am actually self-hosting my lemmy.crimedad.work instance with the help of Yunohost.
i am not, no, and that’s kind of my point. Not everybody has to self host their own individual instance, one person can host an instance of something for hundreds, maybe thousands of people. I simply do not think that you need that many people actively interested in this.
The entire world runs on software programming, yet the entire population is not programmers, it must follow that we will be fine without everybody liking this stuff.
