I get the desire for a centralized location but I was hoping Lemmy would be the spot. Forums just seen so fragmented, it's nice to go to one place to see all the discussion instead of having several subpages which honestly have little action. https://lemmy.ml/c/jellyfin seemed like the best replacement for r/Jellyfin
Congrats, that’s the kind of mentality that will make me move from Plex to Jellyfin tomorrow evening :)
As someone who had to Google a bunch of docker issues and constantly got redirected to locked down subreddits, I'm all for developers hosting their own communities. At least then they have an incentive to keep the communities alive.
Says “no fee, no tracking, no hidden agenda”
Yet somehow they are offering this for free? How exactly are they keeping themselves supported?
That is (jelly)fishy..
FOSS, donations
Jellyfin is open sourced and supported by donations. I've used it for around a year and I can confirm there have been no fees, tracking, or anything else.
I'm guessing you don't have much experience with FOSS software. It's volunteer driven, with a set of passionate maintainors at the helm. Much like Linux.
I think it's cool they are using myBB, I'm a big fan for that style of community.
