I highly doubt Reddit is actually gaining that many new users, but the number of accounts created? Sure.

Reddit never has enough bots for their AI slop machine. They create more bot accounts to "boost engagement" via posts and comments.

Thanks, I do, but I have other non-technical family members. They request media via Jellyseer, which then sends the request to Sonarr.

Most of the time it's fine, but when the show has 8 seasons? It'll download each episode individually - some of which won't be available/poor quality/no subtitles. There's often a season pack with all 8 seasons in it and are more reliable subtitles/quality wise.

It's an infrequent but annoying quirk I have to manually intervene with.

Any initial thoughts so far (if you've had the time to look into them)? I really want to find something that can support multi-season downloads. The *arr stacks have rejected the feature in the past and it's been my biggest gripe lately.

The alternatives seem pretty young still. I wonder if anyone's done a feature comparison between them...

The decline of good search engines and the AI slopocalypse has made it difficult to find good resources. Let alone, to find it a second time. So a lot of us close the tab only after the related task is completed. Bookmarks are too permanent for one-off tasks (plus, we probably have way too many bookmarks already).

It's crazy to hear you've been booted for being inactive! It's not like Discord has a limit on usercount (...do they?). I've know people who disappeared for a year+ only to return like normal. Life happens and it's best to leave the door open for anyone to return someday.

I also don't use other social media outside the fediverse. Public discords have always been a gamble. Mods can only do so much to filter out children/assholes. Private discords tend end up in a death spiral of inactivity in my experience. This one sounds like there's a ton of people, so hopefully it continues to thrive!

That's all great to hear, thanks for the details! It's hard meeting new people these days, so it's great this type of post was allowed by the admins.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely nice to find mature corners of the internet. I'm excited to check it out later!

Do you have a rough idea about the demographics? Most places I find are still 90% men. Not saying anything is inherity wrong with that, but the vibes are different. It's easy to feel "other'd" if you're not "one of the bros." I wish more places had an even split with women/nonbinary folks.

I love this. We need a picture from the front to fully appreciate the spectacle.

It has been forever, yet brain still reads this in his voice so perfectly.
