Yeah I agree that the megathread is definitely the best thing about the subreddit/instance a good 95% of the information I'm after is nearly always in the megathread

I could have sworn the megathread included a link to the Lemmy community last week though checking it now it seems to have been removed (unless I'm getting it mixed up with another megathread)

Edit: Yeah on the rentry megathread it links to both Lemmy and Reddit versions of the community, I'm assuming then that some of the mods here are responsible for keeping it up to date, so there's no need to access the subreddit for the megathread

Yeah I understand that

Out of curiosity is the megathread maintained by yourself or is it a joint effort of the mods and users as a whole?

Yeah that's probably a good point, I suppose the people making the types of hate comments maybe aren't the types of users who would be of benefit to the community

But you can also report police speed traps on Google Maps too? (At least in the UK not sure if it differs by country)

In fairness this has been built into Google maps now as well

I did previously use Waze but honestly lately Google Maps seems to have overtaken it in functionality

In fairness r/pcmasterrace and r/gaming absolutely hate Linux as well so I wasn't really expecting them to give up on Reddit and move to the Lemmy/Kbin

An error log for some Scala code, tried the usual thing of Googling full error log, key words etc and nothing really returned any actual useful results (or none at all)

Put the full log into Bing and the first few results were straight from stack overflow and a raised GitHub issue describing the errors cause

I think people on r/piracy need to see the writing on the wall. Reddit is getting rid of 3rd party clients, is obviously not happy with large subs swapping to NSFW content and is trying to push for things to be as advertiser friendly as possible

At some point they're going to go after piracy subs more aggressively which is probably why it's better to make the switch earlier rather than later

I see a lot of comments there saying when that happens "they'll just make a new sub" missing the fact once Reddit starts banning piracy users/subs the new ones that spring up in its place will only last a week or two before being banned again

I feel like 90% of the questions on there anyway are just pointless if people actually read the megathread

"What is a good site for movies", "how do I torrent", "should I use a VPN" "help I've got a virus"

All questions that get repeated daily

Honestly Google Search in general seems to get worse every year, for work any kind of niche issue involving errors returns no results on Google (literally no results), tried plugging the same search into Bing and the first 5 results were actual answers on solving the error

It amazes me how a search engine once considered a massive joke is able to outperform Google

I think the most annoying part was users flip flopping about the protest in the anti-protest camp

First it was that the blackout would be pointless and for the protest to succeed it would need to be more disruptive

Once subs tried to remain indefinitely closed, allow no new posts, allow NSFW content or only allow posts of a joke nature. Suddenly the anti-protest group said it was too far, ruining the site for regular users etc

Think addons4kodi is the better place but i'm happy to help

You'll want to use the built in browser on downloader to search for Kodi. Go to https://kodi.tv/ click on download and select android ARMV7A

Once downloaded youll want to open Kodi and enable allow unknown sources in settings (this will let you use Piracy addons)

Take a pick of your addons, most people recommend using Fen and paying for real debrid (non debrid Kodi Is pretty terrible) it's cheap and allows you access to 4k content and far more availability of sources to choose from

I'd recommend Googling "how to install Fen" and it'll walk you through the steps (though ignore when it tries to recommend VPN's you don't need them when using a Debrid service)

Edit: Other than that the thing would be to use a Skin, however since you've mentioned that it's an older Firestick I'd just avoid using one since it'll be extremely slow and probably crash a lot

There's also Trakt that you can link with most addons, it'll allow you to keep track of Episode/movie progress

Edit 2: There's also Stremio instead of Kodi which I think Is a lot simpler to set up and looks better by default however its a lot less customisable and has fewer addons, but might be worth giving a go if the Kodi setup is too difficult. Personally I've never used it though
