I just use Image Glass as image viewer and Icarus for the miniatures. For the videos I use MPC-HC.

I’m on lemmy.cafe for now… so far so good, but I’m always up to jumping ship if I have to, I usually delete my content once per week so I have nothing to lose anyway (I’m still icky about Lemmy not permanently deleting someone’s content and just hidding it).

Speaking from a third-world country, there are 2 main weaknesses the fediverse has for us:

• selfhosting is not easy or cheap for us, so we can only use what it’s already there… And it’s basically all in english, so most people are out.
• meta has everyone grabbed by the balls and people are happy like that (for some reason), anything new or different is met with endless excuses.

There used to be a mexican instance called Mujico, but they were forced to use a whitelist by constant troll attacks… But they also federated with grad so I can’t feel bad about it. I don’t know if it still exists but the last time I checked it had zero activity.

I’m so happy I switched to an instance that blocks grad, ml and hex, I can’t imagine the shitshow it should be for those that still want to tolerate at least hex.
