Yep everyone making money is shady.

Plex with Plexamp works really well. Downloading you’ll have to figure out your source for that. There’s many. Ripping straight from Deezer was best when I was doing it. (Deemix when I was going this route).

As in you upgraded from a previous Lemmy? More than likely your database is migrating and it can take a while. ~30 minutes or more depending on your server.

Supposedly there’s still issues federating even on the latest. I’ve been restarting mine every 8 hours or so just in case.

Hope that’s mostly a joke.

You could use Lemmy Post Purger

Having a limited federation list completely defeats the purpose.
