I love the idea! Thanks, I'll try and see what if anything I can sort out.

I'm originally from Edmonton, and I recognize Loyola's name as one that's been in politics for years. I really have to wonder what happened here. Not familiar with Loyola as a person and never followed him much, but this comes as a shock.

Must be hard simply being a fiscal conservative in the Conservative party right now seeing the social conservatives botching all the good publicity the party could possibly have had left.

The firmware explicitly states it's for photos only, and I tried my luck using both mp4 and webm formats.

I think you're misunderstanding, the TV's firmware literally states that it can only be used for photos. I tried accessing both webm and mp4 to try my luck, but nothing.

Oh! Is Roku something you can get separately? I always thought it was just a built-in OS on newer TVs.

I'm well aware, just trying to find positive stories to share.

Still don't fully agree. The environmental impact of shipping from overseas is costly, so investing in means to create product here rather than overseas should be seen as a necessity.

We grow tomatoes, cucumbers, cannabis, and some bell peppers in green houses here, and should invest in expanding those options available to Canadian consumers.

As much as I like them, their prices were insane. I get supporting local, but at that price point? Ouch.

Look, if he just left it at saying that the protests were fine but the encampment was not, that would at least be understandable.

COMPARING IT TO THE FREEDOM CONVOY? BRUH

Immediate thought that comes to mind is that you can follow the Lemmy and Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon, which would give you some ease in accessing their posts via Mastodon, and then boost the posts from there.

Hope that helps a bit, tbf cross-platform interactions like this are something I have very limited experience with.

Not entirely. While you can interact with content from other social platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube from Lemmy, federation is best experienced when you utilize platforms with similar use cases.

For example, the link aggregators (Reddit-likes) on the fediverse are Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, and until recently, Lotide. Each of these platforms have similar looks and purpose with slight differentiation. While you can communicate with video streaming or microblogging like PeerTube and Mastodon respectively, it's best to stay within the link aggregators and make a new account for those purposes.

To give an example with microblogging on the Fediverse, there's also a number of options. Biggest one is Mastodon, but others include Misskey and it's endless forks, Smithereen, Pleroma/Akkoma, Mitra, Threads, etc. all with their own interesting quirks. While they can interact with Lemmy and whatnot, their best interactions are going to be with similar-purposed platforms.
