Your wrist rests kinda remind me of the rangers brooches from Babylon 5!

They really suck...and blow!
For me, the worst part is actually the duplicate communities. Sure, it's nice that newbies can have these duplicate subs so they don't have to learn how to traverse the Lemmyverse, but it would be really nice if duplicates could be avoided. Like, maybe if Lemmy instances kept better records of communities on other instances.
Yeah! That was awesome!
With a plugin, it can even remove the DRM from Kindle e-books!
This isn't actually new, but yes, it is infuriating. It's also why I haven't bought an HP printer. Well, at least since I found out about this issue back in 2017 or so.
Which Linux distribution are you running on your server(s)?
I have a few presets, but it's mostly the HQ 480P30 preset for SD, HQ 1080P30 preset for HD video, the H.265 MKV 2160 4K preset for 4K video - with some modifications: RF18 - Keeps the quality very close to the original while shrinking file sizes significantly Same Framerate as Source - Otherwise, Handbrake ends up going with 30 FPS, which isn't quite right, and your video will play a scosche faster than it should. Subtitle Passthrough - Though I often extract Blu-Ray subtitles with gMKVExtractGUI and convert them to text-based SRT files so Jellyfin apps on mobile devices and streaming boxes can show subititles without my server having to transcode. HD Audio to FLAC - Most devices can't play formats like DTS, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Though, depending on your situation, it might be a good idea to also have audio converted to AAC for devices which don't support FLAC, like Apple devices.
I also have the speed preset in the Video tab set to Medium for HD video because I have a fast 12-core CPU - the AMD 5900X, but if you have a slower CPU, you can just set it to Fast. This preset just makes the file size smaller without affecting quality, but it it's more computationally-expensive the higher you set it.
Or is this not what you meant?
In addition to few active users, there's a lot of duplication when it comes to Lemmy communities. For example, there are at least 15 Linux communities across the various Lemmy instances - and that's just general Linux communities. There are four coffee communities, four libertarian communities, three retro gaming communities, five general Windows communities, etc.
The best we can do as users is to only join communities with the most users and maybe ask moderators to delete their community if there's already one with more users and if theirs has very few, if any, posts. It would be really great if it were possible to merge communities, especially ones with few posts. I guess the ones with few users and zero posts could have the moderator tell subscribers the community will be shutting down soon and they should locate other instances with the browse.feddit.de search tool.
Though, I do have to admit that there is an advantage to having duplicate communities across instances, which is that they make it easier for new users, since it prevents them from having to figure out how to get to other communities too soon. Though, every instance should probably have a sticky or something that tells users about browse.feddit.de and browser extensions like Lemmy Link.
Yeah, it would be a killer feature. I would have thought it would have been better to delete duplicates, but multi-community feeds would probably be better since it would be a bit more fault-tolerant. Maybe each instance which has a community which is part of a multi-community feed could even keep copies of posts from all of the communities in the feed so if one instance goes down, it can restore the posts as soon as the downed instance is back up.
