I'm using jellyfin daily as my primary media server for few years now, even having Plex pass I still somehow prefer jellyfin over it.

Tried it recently and I still prefer Plex. Jellyfin doesn’t seem to want to display in order of last added. What advantages do you like about it?
Daily driver here. The main dashboard page does show your most recently added media and you can also sort both movies and TV Shows by most recently added by changing the sort order. I've been using Jellyfin for a couple years now after I outgrew an older Kodi/MySQL setup and it does everything I need. Never even tried Plex honestly.
Plex keeps getting more tightly intertwined with their cloud offerings. It kept breaking for me when they kept changing the config to disable the Plex online account requirement. I finally gave up fighting with it and moved to Jellyfin. It's not so much that Jellyfin does anything better as much as it is that Plex kept making itself worse with online requirements I didn't want.
one of the best things i host on my server .love not having to use any third part acount like plex also kinda feels less bloated ,than plex .whice i like
Me too. Been a user for a couple years now and I think it’s great.
There is nothing to hope, we just need to be the ones leading the way showing how it's done :)
Tell people about it then
Here’s hoping but they did say they’re moving to their own forums which I imagine will leave a disconnect of questions and answers etc.
I don't think moving to their own forum is a mistake, but the way they did it is just repating mistakes people have done in the golden age of bb's.
They made tons of subforums for specific purposes like android app development and whatever, which now mostly are barren with no content because they just started. Looks really terrible if you as a new user go there to check it out. I would not register there but look for other sources.
Instead they should have kept it simple the beginning with just a few subforums so they actually fill up with content. Making new subforums could always happen later. So I don't see this taking off and I hope they still embrqce something like this Lemmy group.
I tend to agree w/ this sentiment, but hope that the 2 options, official forum & fediverse discussion, can somehow provide unique value. I'm currently running jellyfin on a DS920+ & about to move it over to a 12th gen Intel-based Lenovo M90Q for performance reasons. The idea is to keep all media downloading/converting/retaining on the NAS & the serving on the M90Q that can access the NAS. Here's to hoping I'm moving in the right direction rather than just trying dumb stuff.
I have a server stood up for a couple years, and I keep it updated. But I'm still day to day on Plex for waf and for downloads, which have always worked for me. I try to keep up with jellyfin but I think I'm behind on development. For those of you who are daily drivers, how's it going?
I’m loving it. It’s worked like a champ once I figured out the transcoding settings. Runs 4k smooth as butter. I’ve got a cloud flare tunnel so I can access it from anywhere.
What client do you like?
I use Jellyfin Mobile for iOS on my iPhone and iPad, and Jellyfin for Android TV in my fire stick. Both work well. Browsers work well too.
