Plex is good but another option is jellyfin

The lack of ios app deterred me from even testing it. I play tech support for my family enough to know an app would be necessary.

Man ive been looking for something like this for a long time and never found a suitable option.

Post i had before about this same topic.

Humhub wasnt a solution for me since most of my family uses iPhones and not having a dedicated app would confuse them.

Im with this guy. Its a video about hacking a phone.

If that guy is like me i prefer to digest text rather than video.

I spend lots of time in south korea and VPNs are fine to use. I primarily use mine for getting around region blocks or for added privacy when on public networks.

This is true.

Just a heads up about people’s suggestions on signal. If you don’t open your desktop client often and it needs to be logged back in it will not sync your latest notes to self messages (perhaps other messages too).

Org roam could work if you’re your cool with emacs. Create files on the fly that are named with the date/topic and it could be setup to allow timestamps since you mentioned that. Notes can be linked to each other or easily merge or split as it develops.

Also org roam comes coupled with a daily diary that attaches to emacs calendar system.

Sorry about the multiple replies with the same content. My client app apparently decided to have a problem.

I found dealing with a mastodon server to be a pain in the ass. For a time I outsourced that to Masto.host and it was smooth. The owner of that site was really helpful and knew mastodon well

You are correct. Matrix is the only one that has an option to use e2ee. Rocket chat has it it beta but that may take some time to roll out.

I’ve recently been testing Mattermost for a family communication platform. I also tried matrix/element and Rocket.Chat. I’m leaning towards Mattermost since the mobile apps (essential for my family) feels the most intuitive.

Element required knowing what features existed and then finding them which isn’t going to work for grandma.

Rocket.chat was good too just leaned towards Mattermost for some reason.

I really wish matrix had a well polished iOS app. The best I found was FluffyChat but even then it felt…not right.

I’m willing to try but I’d be stretching what I know to find that. Might be a good excuse to learn

Does Diaspora have a mobile app? I thought it was only progressive web.

I currently use Nextcloud and using photos on mobile is rough. Although I had forgotten about that comment feature on files.

You’re awesome. I’ll go dig deeper on this :) Thank you

Oh that is promising…do you know if that can be selected as default or does it always have to be applied per post?
