@firesidefedi
I do not know if you have changed something in the hosting of the podcast version of Fireside Fedi but I cannot listen to it anymore.
My podcast application (Pocket cast) says that the header of the file is not correct.
Which means I cannot seek but worse, I cannot resume the episode where I left.
Are you aware of the problem ?
@michaelmathy@mastodon.online Good day Michael. I apologize for that. I've moved the home of Fireside Fedi from video.firesidefedi.live and audio.firesidefedi.live to TubeFree.org my nonprofit supported Peertube instance.
The new Podcast RSS is:
tubefree.org/feeds/podcast/v...
If you had just the RSS that is:
tubefree.org/feeds/videos.xm...
Please let me know if that doesn't work for you. I apologize for the difficulties.

Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this?
Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you.
This of course only applies to those that WANT their content on YouTube. If you don't, that's totally fine. I'm doing this to advocate for the Fediverse so I think it's a necessary evil.

Fediverse Challenge: Prove there's still good in the world
There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically “make it something new people would want to see and stick around for”. The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else.
So, I would like to propose a challenge to all: Let’s try that. At least for a week.
Sound good? Here’s how you can participate:
-
If you’re one who posts a lot of news/politics…stop or at least slow down. Post literally anything else. Or try to post less rage-inducing news and try to dig up the good news that’s happening. Sorry !upliftingnews@lemmy.world but it’s the regular news communities that are flooding the zone with every single bad thing that happens anywhere in the world, so we may be stealing some of your content with this one.
-
Think before posting something. Are you only posting it because you’re mad about it and you think other people should be mad about it too? If so, maybe post something else. Is there already similar coverage of that? Chances are, we don’t need more of it.
-
If you’re a lurker, post something. Add your voice.
-
Refrain from upvoting / booting all the negativity. Yes, it may feel good to upvote for visibility because “people need to know this” but the end result is the feed turning into a list of things to rage about. If you see good/non-rage news, upvote that for visibility. I’ve seen many posts like that languish with a few tens of upvotes at most while the rage-inducing news gets hundreds of upvotes.
-
Post what makes you happy rather than what you’re angry about.
-
Avoid dogpiling on people if they express a different opinion. I’m not saying feed the trolls or pat them on the head, just merely “disengage” or avoid the impulse to virtue dump on them and such.
-
If you have a hobby, share it! There’s plenty of hobby communities that would greatly benefit from additional contributors. If you’re boring like me, well, there’s !Dullsters@dullsters.net or !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world (the latter welcomes all as the name is just a reference to the original)
-
Anything else you can think of to make the homepage/experience feel more welcoming and less like an angry mob (suggestions in the comments are more than welcome).
I know not everyone will participate, and that’s okay. Simply adding more positivity and posting/boosting less rage can have a positive effect on what shows up on /all which is what potential new users see by default.
So, let’s try this for a week and see what happens. Who knows? Maybe the established userbase will find it refreshing as well.
Who’s with me?

Just realized something. Nutrition labels were put on food to help educate folks as yo what they're eating. It helped normal people understand basic nutrition values in their food. This was one step to educating the public.
I just realized I want an Internet Privacy Label. When I go to sign up for a service you have to list out in detail every single way you sell my data and who to. I don't want legalese. I want a LIST.
Maybe once people see the long list they'll start taking this more seriously?
Anyone know if anything like this exists or is in the works?
