Many times i’ve seen people changing their phones because of low storage, and then have the same issue.
When cleaning apps cache colde solve the problem without spending any money.
I have SD Maid scheduled to clean apps cache once a day, most apps don’t have more that 200MB of cache, and plenty of free storage.
On Liftoff can be easily fixed by cleaning cache on exit, some apps have this options so don’t eat all of your storage.

Thats probably the uncompress installed on your system.
The apk from PlayStore is 3.34MB

Same but I use Syncthing instead
Adblock is piracy!
Just use Pided (https://piped.video), Invidious, Freetube or something else.
Youtube website is just trash bloated with JavaScript and trackers.
Hope not, instances should block Threads instead.
Meta/Facebook could use that to harvest more data, and Meta isn’t known for privacy.
And Thread trolls spamming the fediverse also not a good ideia.
If you set the language(s), it will show only posts with tha language (is set) on your feed, otherwise shows all languages.

Most posts don’t have a language defined (undefined), don’t know if they’ll also show on your feed.

Confirmation email could be in spam.
Some instances have an chat on Discord or Matrix for help, check if there’s something
Depending of your instance, see the local communities, you should have some for “community request” or meta, look for the description of the communities.
You can also request on other instance, doesn’t need to be on your instance. Some can be more restrict then others.
There’s also theme specific instances, like Star Trek, Path of Exile, FOSS… each instance can have his own rules.
If it converts every video in realtime it will require a lot of CPU per server, it’s cheaper to store multiple copies. Also the average video isn’t more than some 300MB, less if it’s lower quality.
Anyone with Plex or Jellyfin knows that it’s better to have the same movie in both qualities (1080,720) the transconding to avoid CPU usage.
It’s possible to have fast transconding with GPUs, but with high so many users on youtube that will require a lots of power and high energy prices, store is cheaper.
Not only that but for each video on YouTube there are different versions for each resolution. So if you upload a 1080p video, it gets converted to 1080p AVC/VP9, 720p AVC/VP9, 480p… also for the audio.
If you run youtube-dl -F <youtube url>
you will see different formats.
Don’t know about Google (don’t use it) but already found some search results on Brave or Duckduckgo, without search operators (site:…)
And having multiple instances with specific theme (country, TV show, games) also engages people to post and comment more.
It’s like talking to people on your neighborhood while Reddit is nation wide and everything is seeking attention
Hosting videos requires a lot of storage, before reddit hosting images/videos most used services where imgur, streamable, gifycat…
On small instances hosting videos could be an issue with storage and bandwidth, hosting externally is always a best option
With Prowlarr or Jackett you can use it with (almost) any other site, or you can use RSS feeds
And many will just move to oficial app

I had a post on frontpage, got 40k. And was invited to join two frontpage subreddits (lobby something).
I tough “oh my gosh, im famous”, but next day I just didn’t care about that anymore.
Ive almost 100K karma, but for what? What can I do with that? Save some pandas, send it Africa villages?
