Fun fact: YouTube used to have the entire series of this show for FREE before the whole YouTube TV stuff happened.
I watched all 100 something episodes back in high school. Didn’t leave my room for like a week.
@Auster@thebrainbin.org @Auster@mastodon.social @Ashen44@piefed.ca I wanted to say thank you for your recent posts. It’s been tricky for me to post lately, and your posts did a good job filling the gaps. Every new airhead makes us better.
I think your posts would benefit from having GIFs like this one. Lemmy and Mbin don’t handle video embeds well, but the standard GIF just works across everything. I use YT1D to download a YouTube video as an MP4, then Ezgif to clip an optimized GIF from it. Typically, I make the GIF 250-360px wide and play with optimization sliders to bitcrush it to 5.7MB, Fedia.io’s upload limit. If your instance doesn’t support uploads that large, upload the GIF somewhere like Catbox.moe and make a link post to that Catbox GIF. It’s more effort but it makes our most popular posts.
Happy to help! I like this community a lot, floating really is fun! Thanks for the tips by the way, I was wracking my brain on how to upload a video and I wasn’t happy that I had to resort to catbox because it doesn’t load on certain VPN servers. I totally forgot about gifs…
Will take a look. Thanks!
Also, been using Mastodon more to post media because I usually can’t remember what formats Mbin supports. e.e"
It would be so much easier if Mbin supported WebP uploads, but last time I tried, it didn’t work. I only found out what works well through experimenting and trial and error. Nice job getting stuff into an Mbin magazine from Mastodon!
