Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?

My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world... The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.

Technology Connections are great, but this doesn't feel very connected.

    Op should have used threadiverse.link, or the home instance of the content, both of which are options in Voyager. The voyager link is primarily for sending to non-lemmy users.

    My Voyager app only seems to offer the vger.to link. It's a recent change I'm not happy about.

    Ah shit really?! Mine still has all the options. I get Voyager from F-Droid, not sure if that makes any difference, maybe my version is slightly out of date? Either way, seems like a shitty change, which will probably end up getting reversed.

    Mine is version 2.41.0, obtained from F-Droid.

    To be fair, it could be some kind of user error -- maybe the option does exist, but I'm not seeing it for some reason -- but I don't really think so.

    Edit: Ah! It's a setting! Settings →General → Other → Share Links. Mine is set to "Voyager App (vger.to)", but there are also the other options you mentioned, as well as "ask" (which is presumably what yours is set to).

    I'm pretty sure vger.to is the default (perhaps for new installs -- I changed phones relatively recently), which is unfortunate, since I definitely didn't change that setting.

    The most ridiculous thing about ‘vger.to’ links is that Voyager itself can't open them.

    Just doesn't open them, does nothing and shows an error message. Despite having created those links.

    That sounds like a bug. Please let me know next time, a screen recording would be very helpful! 🙏
