Missing addresses and places - Lemmy.World
For context I switched to Magic Earth a while back as it was the best Google
Maps alternative to me, however with the recent switch to a Freemium model that
also introduced a ton of bugs, I’m looking for other alternatives. One thing I
noticed immediately about comaps is its misssing a LOT of addresses and places
here in the US that were available on Magic Earth. Can I somehow manually import
better address/maps data? It’s to the point it’s really not usable for me but
I’m struggling to find anything else that works nearly as good as Magic Earth.

Disable notifications for an individual channel - Lemmy.World
Basically the title. Is there a way to disable notifications for an individual
channel while still being subscribed?

current PeerTube can't compete with YouTube - Lemmy.World
Who wants to join? This whole post comes from my experience joining and trying
to use Peertube. The immediately obvious problem is getting creators to post on
Peertube which is an entirely separate issue. Even once I did decide I wanted to
join Peertube and try to find all the content I could, I still ran into issues
and it just wasn’t a smooth experience at all. I’m fine with that as I
understand the fediverse works differently and Peertube is a relatively small
project (especially compared to YouTube) and I can accept that because I support
what Peertube is doing as an open source federated platform. However, most
people don’t care about all that and even if they hear about Peertube and
creators start moving there, regular people will still struggle to use it in its
current state. “Default” instance Creating an account is confusing and the whole
“choose your instance” is extremely unintuitive for new fediverse users.
Obviously this isn’t unique to Peertube, but other fediverse platforms like
Lemmy and mastodon have solved this by having a “default” general instance to
direct people to (e.g. lemmy.world & mastodon.social). Search/Discovery This
somewhat goes hand-in-hand with the previous point, but it’s really hard to
search and find new creators/videos. Part of the reason is searching in most
instances will on search that instance and maybe a few other instances that are
specifically federated with yours. The closest to a “universal” instance I’ve
found is peertube.wtf, but it is extremely slow for me and sometimes just
doesn’t load at all. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is also
searching so many federated instances, or maybe it’s because it’s based in
Denmark and I’m in the US. Either way, I created an account but it was basically
unusable so I switched to TILvids which seems to have a decent amount of
creators but isn’t federated with many other instances. There’s also Sepia
Search but it honestly doesn’t seem to perform great and it’s very unintuitive
to have to go to a different website to search, then the finding a creator/video
but it goes to that instance, so to subscribe, comment, like, etc. you need to
find a way to open that video within your instance.
