Been beta testing this as a Kickstarter backer for many months and it's one of my top iPhone apps. Iconfactory has done a real good job and I'll say that if you like the app, $80 for a lifetime purchase really will pay for itself after only a year of using it.

The weird thing is that it doesn't matter what instance/server your friends are on. If they follow you, they'll get all your posts in their feed. The best advice I can give anyone starting out on Mastodon is to follow tags instead of people in order to surface interesting posts, then you can follow people as they come up on feeds.
That’s 2 too many if they’re going to be posted rapid fire. Cmon now.
Appreciate it. Thanks!
Thank you for listening and having a willingness to change things up. SOME links are fine here and there. The firehose is too much.
Which is all great. And I agree people will post at different times, but it's quite excessive lately and at least for me, doesn't make me want to be a part of this community. If I wanted every story from Elektrek or Cleantechnica, I could just visit those sites.
Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.
Right. Posts != content.
You got it. Good luck!
So there's 2 files that go along with the main script: a config file and a download list.
The download list file is literally a list of YT channel URLs and any time I want it to get new channels, I add to the list. Conversely if I get tired of watching a channel, I comment it out or just delete it. YT-DLP just traverses the list.
The config is where the magic happens. That dictates how the file is named, quality you download at, location it's saved to, format, etc. You can incorporate SponsorBlock which is awesome and even DeArrow has an integration. I enjoy the logging feature so it doesn't re-download vids it's already snagged. Generally I'll tell it to get every video from a channel that's been posted in the last 15 days.
My destination for the files is a YouTube library folder I set up in Plex. Plex sees it just as another TV-like library and it pulls the metadata from the files, which are embedded by YT-DLP.
Hope this helps!
I use YT-DLP to scrip the download of vids I want to watch and it drops them into Plex for me. I set it to run every 4 hours.
NY has a bill floating around for this but it’s never gone anywhere.
