For comparison:

For ‘Action Horror’, I’ve liked The Hunt (2020), Ready or Not, Totally Killer and Strange Darling (technically not a horror, but it’s about a serial killer)

I watched Red Rooms recently, and that’s French (Canadian), so if anyone asks you what you watched recently, you can say ‘Les chambres rouges’ and sound all intelligent and stuff.

You can see the video that was originally quoted here: https://xcancel.com/billmaher/status/1844938477512675654#m

Bill Maher seems aggressively unfunny to me, but the gist of the video is that it’s a open letter to Chappell Roan (who is pro-Palestine), saying that Israelis aren’t colonisers, because the Bible mentions that they built a temple in that area before others in Middle-East settled there. It seems like a questionable claim to me, and there are plenty of replies to the video disagreeing with him.

unsure of how to federate it with Lemmy directly

I think this will be a struggle.

In Lemmy terms, everyone here is a ‘Person’, sending a ‘Note’ activity for the fediverse@lemmy.world ‘Group’.
With Castopod, it classes your podcast as a ‘Person’, and each episode as a ‘PodcastEpisode’.

If Castopod classed your podcast as a Group, the same as PeerTube does for video channels, then integration would be relatively easy. A Group for a podcast would make more sense to me, but FunkWhale have made similar decisions, probably due to the dominance of Mastodon within the Fediverse.

As mentioned, you could probably tag your episodes with the address of a pre-existing Group (e.g. a community on Lemmy), but that pre-supposes that Lemmy knows what to do with the ‘PodcastEpisode’ type (a quick look on their GitHub suggests that it currently doesn’t)

Yes.

(if it didn’t already have it, Lemmy would fed this out with a ‘fuckcars’ hashtag, so it’s not like you guys are completely free of all this hashtag malarkey).

As someone viewing Lemmy posts from outside Lemmy, I hope your PR can get submitted!

Good luck - I get the sense that ‘kurwa’ has lots of meanings, but what native speakers mostly use for is: ‘give me a minute, I need to figure out how to conjugate the rest of this sentence’.

Apparently, she’s appealing the ruling - she wants to speak to the employment tribunal’s manager. (not really)

I don’t know anything about DBZ, but I watch the ‘Pitch Meeting’ for movies way more than I watch the actual movies. The one for Joker 2 is quite fun.

Congrats.

There’s also a [email protected], btw.

It’s a useful metric. Maybe it’s the better one, but personally I’d like to see good data from both.

Dunno why you can’t view the video. It’s 13 seconds long, and he says:

“Would you rather have the black president or the white president who got 1.7 Billion off the price … I think they want the white guy”

I don’t know what price he’s referring to (I’m not American).

I had to look at All + New the other day because the Fediverse was being spammed by some twat, but otherwise it’s

90 / 0 / 10 (if I look at All, it’s All+Hot, not All+New, 'cos that’s for masochists)

It’s a trade-off, I guess. Admittedly, there’s not much benefit the user (though they could be warned via email if their account is going to be de-activated). There is however a benefit to the community, in that it can provide more reliable data to see if it’s trending in popularity (a 100 extra users isn’t significant if it thinks it has 30k users, but it moves the needle if that number is at a more realistic level).

Interesting, thanks. I can see the video if I view via voyager here: https://m.lemmy.world/search/lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

That it displays in some views but not others though, reinforces (to me) that the problem is with the app, not the post. I’d gently suggest (to the person I originally replied to) that if something isn’t displaying, the first thing to do is see what it looks like in a browser, and if that’s okay, report the problem to the app author, not reply to the OP. We should all just be able to post stuff, without worrying about every feasible way that someone might want to view it.

I recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members

Communities with 30k members could really do with pruning the completely inactive ones. It’s not like there’s any commercial reasons to pretend that places are busier than they actually are.

Well, you got this post, so I guess so? (the site responds better today, when it was a bit laggy or non-existent previously)

feddit.nl fell over yesterday btw, so that’s why there was no post yesterday.

I think that’s the fault of whatever app / frontend you are using. On OP’s instance (which is just rendering HTML), and on the community’s instance (using lemmy-ui), this file plays. In both cases, it’s a bog-standard MP4 inside a VIDEO tag with a video/mp4 type. If - for example - you’re using Sync, then that app also can’t play MP4s hosted by Mastodon either.

I think it’s asking a lot - it’s not unreasonable for libraries to convert the markdown format for embedded images into IMG SRC, but then the clients can’t play them because they’re not images. Ideally, I think, there should be different markdown for embedded videos and audio (but it doesn’t look like there’s anything official).

These clips play for me on PieFed, but only because after the markdown translation, they get regexed into the correct AUDIO tags.
