try them and see what suits you ( I use almost all of them 😆 )

some of these projects support more platforms other than YT.

Is there a good alternative way to watch YouTube without ads? My student discount for YT Premium is about to end and while I love having no ads, I'd prefer to spend that money on directly supporting creators through Patreon instead of paying YT directly.

Some of the self hosted options look promising, but it does appear that YT is blocking them.

#SelfHosting #youtube

How many Reply Guys have you blocked? #nostr

What happens if you lose your nostr private key? Any long term solutions for this. I feel it will be big for adoption among the masses unless we have a huge culture shift

Can anyone actually stop that reply guy thing?

It bothers the F out of me

#asknostr

Given same relays, do #amythest and #primal show the same posts?

#question #nostr

How to stop these reply guys from spamming every post? I blocked quite a few, they keep coming..

Small set of further questions and forgive me for being an idiot but...

Question 0: how to use github? Is there a simple way like an "github appstore"? How do I know the github stuff is " legit"?

Question 1: I downloaded the zap.store via the apk (don't understand github option) and of course didn't check the hash (there are some command prompt items in the description, how to do that on a phone?

Question 2: it shows me updates available for a set of apps that are not available (yet?) On the regular play store orfdroidd or thebaurora store....

Well i think this thread is educational for how the new ones to this environment get confused by the non spoon fed solutions and alternatives to the conglomerates (google apple meta Microsoft)

Lots of kickups where people might give up... So thank you for your time and explanations

because the relays still are dealing with spam?

or because they just change the reply text and keep going?

For connecting in person, unlike in apps like signal, the app kind of knows who of your contacts by as the app because linked to the phone number.

It appears I would have to literally meet the person to scan my qr or send it via email or whatever, correct?

not sure about odysee

but peertube (from the name) is/can be p2p and you can host your own peertube instance (it also uses ActivityPub)(last time I used it, I remember there was an option to turn off being a peer)

Are you sure? TOS on Odysee and PeerTube leaned heavily toward following US law so I assumed their servers are US based.

بشرى لنا. نحن بنتظار هذه المنصة

Nostr video clients:

Flare

ZapStream

These two seem like the main ones out currently. Anyone tried? Pros and/cons?

Rumble

Odysee

Peertube

These seem more centralized but could serve as backups.

nostr.build looks great for images but not going to handle video content for free.
