Okay, because looking at all topics+English+random appears truly random on my device (no weight) and hexbear/grad are rarely first. Which is why I was thinking it’s possible that your sort reverted to politics due to that bug I found

Iirc they even said they would remove .ml, they didn’t.

If you have the receipts, I’ll gladly make a pr for this! Lemmy devs are pretty receptive to issues and PRs in my experience

Can you confirm that you are looking at all topics and not the politics option on refresh? I noticed a bug where if you select politics then go back to all topics and then refresh the page it goes back to politics.

There seems to be a bug where the category type doesn’t update in the URL when you go back to all topics after selecting a specific category

Interesting, although selecting a politics based server is also an interesting choice for signup lol. Do you have any coding experience? You could try making a PR, the Lemmy devs have seemed quite open to help on the site in the past.

Could you share a screenshot? I see it defaults to a random order of listings.

rebranding join-lemmy.org as a software package, not a political statement

What do you mean by that?

I’ve mostly seen it recommended by random reddit users, not lemmy users. And to be fair it has decreased as a recommendation as its traffic has also decreased relative to other instances, especially since the reddit exodus.

Abandon or spin off lemmy.ml to folks not on the dev team

lemmy.ml is an important testbed for new releases at scale. Many many issues have been caught by the dev team deploying there. lemm.ee too for that matter.

I do agree that Lemmy.ml should never be recommended as the “official” Lemmy instance, but (correct me if I’m wrong) the Lemmy devs don’t do that. They just say “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers“ which is fair to disclose (although maybe that could remove that. Idk). join-lemmy.org doesn’t handle or recommend Lemmy.ml specially.

I think usually it’s random users saying “join Lemmy.ml it’s the official instance” and we need to nip that in the bud… but it’s not Lemmy devs’ fault.

No alt text tho

Just saying…

Android is inside my TV, nothing external

I have no idea what OP is talking about here, it sounds like they’re only judging the app on its animation speed.

In the plex PLAYER, I constantly have to restart my tv, glitches, audio out of sync, black screen etc, stutters randomly. Incredibly annoying when I’m trying to watch something. I haven’t had a single playback issue yet with the jellyfin player. It just works

Edit: oh and how can I forget: in the plex player, sometimes “pause” just… didn’t fucking work?! Lmao. I had to exit the player and re enter. So annoying.

YES

I gotta try those

If the apps don’t work for you then I’d stick to plex. But I had the opposite experience, especially with the Plex Android TV app, it is so shitty… And the Jellyfin Android TV app is rock solid

I actually had the opposite experience, better subtitle support without transcoding the video track with Jellyfin

Why the fuck does your television have a home page?

FLauncher is pretty great :)

Oh man I don’t remember the last time I watched the matrix. And now I know what I’m doing tonight.

You might have missed it, but I mentioned there will probably be an option added in the future to turn on display names (off by default).

As for other Lemmy clients, I always encourage people to look around and find what works best for you! There are a lot of great apps and what is “best” depends on the person using it.
