More people using Jellyfin, more people who will contribute, through code or donations.

Doubt.

What about Emby? Why is that never mentioned?

    Because Emby is a closed source application and Lemmy is an open source platform with community member who prefer open source solutions to closed source. Your out here screaming at Linux bros "why not choose apple??"

    Ok. And sometimes closed source applications work better.

    I guarantee that you’re using closed source software So let’s not throw stones.

    I didn't suggest I wasn't using closed source software or even that one was better than the other. I said you are in a community of open source enthusiasts scratching your head as to why nobody recommends a paid closed source application that has a history of turning it's back on the FOSS community. I'm trying to give you a hint and you're trying to die on a very strange hill.
