  • When you’re writing a message on the web version, typing ! and the name of the community will bring up a suggestion box.

    Typing !main and selecting the rblind.com instance autocompletes to [!main@rblind.com](https://rblind.com/c/main) but that links directly to the instance itself. It needs a bit of formatting though to get it to be instance-agnostic.

    There’s a big discussion on Github on how to handle links, because as mentioned, the /c/ won’t work for kbin users.

    I personally think it should link the instance directly, as it already does, and have a second link in the formatting we mentioned for the local instance link.



  • It mostly comes down to personal preference honestly.

    Jellyfin is open-source and more focused on your own selfhosted media. I, too, bought a Plex pass years ago and have enjoyed Plex but they’ve been adding a bunch of crap to their interface.

    I’m big on free open-source software but I won’t be biased and say that Jellyfin has some rough edges, but it works well enough for me to watch movies with my wife. Plex is a bit smoother and more production-ready for those power users that host Plex for several others.

    I’d encourage you to try it out if for nothing more than exposing yourself to alternatives.
