No it was a repeated upload of literal white noise images. Not even posts, just files uploaded.

Probably around 300 USD a month

With the new forum feature of discord this might not be a bad idea.

Let me know if you’ll follow through. I’d probably join.

Not really. I could host this in a more robust place but the costs would be prohibitive.

Of course, you could let everyone know where you’re going. I might follow too. There’s some talk in this post about a discord server.

I am aware that images aren’t loading properly right now. This is because the pictures engine crashed again and I wasn’t able to recover it this time.

Yeah I’ve decided to return the headphones and stick with my better ones. I will just pull some wires to common points where I sit in the studio and plug in headphone there.

Nice idea the wireless, but not so great execution.

So far I’ve just let the transmitter turned on so I hadn’t noticed that yet.

That would be awesome but no, they built the receiver into the headband. So while I think it might be possible, I am guessing the drivers are extremely easy to drive and attaching just any other driver to the headband will cause trouble. But you can try I suppose.

That’s convenient. I might take a look at that this weekend!

I’m not in favour of scanning the content of many to serve the few. YouTube urls are compatible with piped urls so you could simply copy/paste them and replace the urls if you prefer that (which I do).

That being said, you’re open to create a bot account yourself (and mark it as such in the account settings) and set up the bot. As long as there are no complaints, you’re free to do that.

Nevermind, looks like this was fixed in v0.18.1 because after upgrading it works fine.

I’m glad to hear that 😊

Alright, sounds like we need a dark theme 😅

Very nice, I will add them all in some way.

Hm that’s actually not a bad idea. Initially I wanted to make it unauthenticated and just make a website where you can drop files.

The downside would be that only local users could upload audio and video as they would have to use waveform.social to do that.

It’s way simpler than that. No lists, no accounts, no search. You literally just upload a file and get a link to a viewer/player. The main place to be will still be waveform.social, this clips thing is just a way to upload media to get a link to share on waveform.social.

With regard to copyright claims: a link to send an email in the footer would be enough. I can go and delete any infringing content.

If at some point people would like to do more (like delete their content) then we can add it at that point. But right now I want to do the simplest thing that could possibly work.

I think building a full replacement for the current UI would be too involved. I am talking about an additional service to augment this instance (which would be hosted on clips.waveform.social).

So basically people will go there, drop/upload a file and get a link to be able to create a post on this instance.

Lemmy already supports embedding post content if the target site supports embedding (through opengraph metadata) which is why we can easily embed the media into the post.

If you’re willing to design some pages that would be awesome.

It is a website/webapp yes. I don’t think it is big enough to be mobile or desktop first. It should work well on either.

Basically there will be 3 pages:

1. Upload a new clip (to get a link)
2. View the clip (visit the link)
3. Embedded widget

All three of these should work on mobile and desktop.

I also started a poll to figure out which themes people use. If it has a mixed outcome I may want to facilitate automatic light/dark theme switching based on browser preferences.

As you can see, I never got past update 1. This is because I have some other things going on in my personal and professional life.

You’ll probably be better off with a different third party app for now.

My current philosophy with this community is to let it live and self-regulate. I only want to poke at it when things (start to) feel off.

So if threads federates properly and people make use of this functionality then I see no problem with that. So far I haven’t blocked any federation. The only blocks in place are technical ones to figure off some spam bots.

This way of thinking won’t scale properly, but my goals aren’t to create the next big social media platform. The goal is as stated in the tagline of this instance: a home for musically minded people. Anything that harms that goal will be dealt with, anything that supports that goal will be welcomed with open arms.

So only if it becomes a problem and people complain about this problem will I enforce a technical limitation.
