New Forum

From project lead Joshua…

We are pleased to announce that we have created a new forum for the Jellyfin community:

https://forum.jellyfin.org

More detail can be found in our blog post: https://jellyfin.org/posts/new-forum

You can see the welcome message here: https://forum.jellyfin.org/welcome and the forum rules here: https://forum.jellyfin.org/rules, or you can jump right to registering here: https://forum.jellyfin.org/register, using either native forum registration or using an account from Discord, GitHub, Google, Reddit, StackExchange, or Twitter.

As part of this, we have also decided to close our Reddit community presence permanently. Please see the message there: https://old.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/14c2bfg/rjellyfin_is_now_closed_please_visit_us_at_our/ for details.

We also have a new status page for seeing the live monitoring status of our infrastructure and announce maintenance, to confirm if things are down just for you or for everyone: https://status.jellyfin.org

We hope to see you there!

Missed opportunity to move to Lemmy. I have no issues with them opening a forum, but it's something I have to deliberately visit solely for Jellyfin rather than an aggregator type UI
- I mean, some of us are here (👋)
  
  👋
  
  I'm here and I count as a person for now 👍
  
  Haha, totally, just makes sense to make this an official channel, rather than spinning up a whole forum to replace reddit.
  
  Perhaps do a mention about this community over there at the forum at least?
- I have to agree, moving to [email protected] would be my preference.
  
  I fully support getting off reddit, I'd just prefer not signing up to a specific forum to participate.
They also mentioned going to this community during the subreddit protest[0], so it seems like they weighed their options including Lemmy and concluded a traditional forum was the best.

I very much support the use of a forum over Lemmy here--it's a fantastic dedicated place for Jellyfin knowledge!

I'll be participating more on the Lemmy, as I am definitely not an expert (only been self-hosting Jellyfin for a few years) and appreciate leaving a "drive-by" comment, but if I run into any more subtitle extraction issues I can post to the forum!
Will this community on Lemmy still be maintained or is all communication now on the new forums?

Cheers
Site's a real fixer upper
