Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Thankfully there are better frontends for many social media sites. For YouTube, you can use Piped and Invidious. LibRedirect is a browser addon that automatically redirects all YouTube links to your selected frontend. If you want a native desktop app, check out FreeTube. On Android you can use LibreTube, NewPipe or a fork of it called Tubular. On iOS, you can configure Yattee to work with Piped and Invidious, this guide explains it: https://gonzoknows.com/posts/yattee/.
Doesn't piped completely remove the tracking and what not? Which.. I know it sounds bad but I want that. YouTube's algorithm honestly gives me some really cool shit based on what I've watched
Without tracking, it recommends stuff based on the current video. No idea how different the results might be if you have whole history for them to evaluate
That's... Something. It would still give me cool stuff I guess. I might start looking into this
I think randomness seems to work better than their algorithm. Youtube didn't recommend Cayley Odle because of anything I'd watched before, but ... damn.
Or SmartTube on Android TV.
On Android, there's also ReVanced which lets you apply patches to a bunch of apps, not just YouTube. Unlike some other ways of patching apps (like Magisk modules), ReVanced doesn't need root since it patches the APK before you install the app.
Oh yeah I completely forgot about SmartTube. I left out ReVanced on purpose, because it still uses the proprietary YouTube app. But if you're ok with this, there's also uYouPlus for iOS.
ReVanced used the proprietary app, but it patches out a bunch of stuff. I like it because it still works like the regular app.
I've not encountered Privacy Guides before, but that's a really lovely website!
It's an awesome website with an awesome community. Definitely check out their Lemmy community !privacyguides@lemmy.one and the forum discuss.privacyguides.net
