Jellyfin is going to explode in popularity (it kind of has already)
I did Jellyfin right when I got into this as soon as I saw Plex require an external account.
I’m a little shocked at how difficult it seems to be to find instructions on how to disable this feature. Pretty sure I got it, but it wasn’t a feature called discover together but a series of sharing options.
I opted out of plex as soon as it asked me to create an online account.
You don’t need that for Jellyfin.
The great enshittening of internet platforms continues
Lol, I just finished building my JellyFin server last weekend too. Bye Plex!

This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It’s been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying
victimscustomers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.Smells like windows, Facebook, Google, …
Good starters but today will just crush you to earn that Q3 +3%
I don’t even have anything like Plex, but because of you I’ll check out lemmyfin, I mean jellyfin.
Problem is jellyfin doesn’t have apps on stuff, therefore my family can’t reach the content on their TVs without side loading and that’s so far beyond any of them it isn’t even funny
Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime
It’s called hentai, and it’s art.
Would love to just pay someone to access their jellyfin server. Does something like this exist?
Yes. Youll have to find one that works for your region though (local servers will have better latency and b/w)
Is there a place to browse options? A lemmy community you recommend perhaps?
Im not certain about lemmy communities but look up plexshares or jellyfin shares in reddit perhaps?
Also while I do agree money complicates things, since you are the purchaser, typically it carries less risk.
In either event stay away from shares that do not offer a cheap (few days) or free trial. Then again never sign up for “lifetime” bs, go on a monthly plan so you can drop them if the QoS drops.
