Dear Fedi friends,
I'm in a bit of a pickle and I could use your brilliant advice.
Long story short, I need to wait an extra 24 hours before attempting to set up Jellyfin on my Raspi (waiting for gear to arrive).
I thought: maybe I could try a low tech / oldie solution first. I have my entire music library super well organized in iTunes (RIP). It's on an old Macbook Pro (2011) connected to an external drive. I can play all the tracks from that computer. I just resurrected my iPhone 6 (capacity: 64GB) to repurpose it as an iPod. My entire music library is 'only" 40GB so the iPhone could hold it all.
Only problem: iTunes on my Macbook Pro does not recognize the iPhone 6. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect to it. I suspect the firmware is too old (on the Mac / too new on the iPhone)... I could not even wipe the iPhone with that old Mac because it couldn't connect to the Apple servers.
The iPhone 6 is completely empty and has iTunes! (Not Apple Music but actual iTunes). It even filled with some tracks I had bought (not sure how).
What would you do in this situation? Are there any workarounds?
My old Macbook Pro is running iOS version 10.8.5 and iTunes is on version 12.0.1.26.
My iPhone 6 (wiped clean and re-associated to my Apple ID) is running software version 12.5.7.
Apple discontinued iTunes support years ago in favor of Apple Music and streaming subscriptions (no wonder, because 💰💰💰💰💰).
I wish I could put my entire music library on my iPhone 6, le sigh. I technically wouldn't even need Jellyfin.
I also have an iPod Touch (1gen) that may connect to my Macbook Pro but its capacity is only 16GB.
What would you do?

#AskFedi #AdviceNeeded #music #BigTech@elena Install Windows in a VM and pass the USB connection to the VM and use iTunes for windows?

@antoine_ali @Timshel thanks but no thanks! I'm a MacOS / Linux person, I'm not willing to cross over to Windows computers (no offense to anyone using them, just not my thing). Plus I already have a small apartment overflowing with electronics and photo / video equipment, I can't possibly justify getting a Windows computer just for iTunes 😅

@MontgomeryGator oooh great workaround! I will add it as a plan B for sure, thank you for the brilliant suggestion! 🙏

@antoine_ali @Timshel oooh maybe my old Macbook Air (circa 2013). I still have it around and used it up to this year as I loved its keyboard and ports. Perfect little machine for writing. Let's see if I can do this there. Thanks for the suggestions!

@joel OMG this looks AMAZING! 🤩
Is it compatible with iTunes or you use another software? I’m pretty big on playlists so I want to use something that enables them

@stefano I really wish Mastodon would seriously work to get Groups and federate with Lemmy and similar platforms. It would be great to have an alternative to FB Groups and X Communities directly here on Mastodn, and it would help cleanup the way we interact with those forum-based activity-pub platforms.

Lack of granular privacy / profile control
“The lack of privacy controls … our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone.” (lemmy.toot.pt) Users cannot choose who sees their profile history, comments, or posts.Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity
“The platform lacks all the communities … There are no communities for games or music or sports or hobbies or movies or anything.” (Reddit) “Not nearly enough people to cover all the niche interest communities that Reddit does.” (szmer.info)Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities
“Multiple communities dedicated to the same thing across multiple instances … causes confusion …” (Popcar's Blog) “There are duplicate communities: every instance seems to have their own version of each community.” (Reddit)Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues
“Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.” (NodeBB Community) “Simply using them is confusing … accessing remote subs is a complete train wreck.” (Reddit)Performance / reliability / scaling problems
“Slow and unreliable” is listed among cons. (Slant) “Servers go down … syncing/federation issues.” (Android Authority)Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues
“Moderation tooling is not adequate for removing illegal content from servers.” (We Distribute) Users report low content quality (memes, shitposts, agenda memes) instead of high-value discussions: > “The politics is always … or it’s toxic American hyper-partisan … The memes aren’t any better.” (Reddit)Search and archive weak/incomplete
“Search sucks … Lemmy isn’t.” (szmer.info) Lack of long-tail content archive.Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality
Users note: heavy US-centric news, lots of meme posts, little local news/events or regional content. While I didn’t find direct sources for exactly “too much US news / no local events”, the broader complaint of “lack of niche interest/hobby/sports” covers this. (Reddit)
