  • Yes, it is paid. I recently signed up for the 30 day play as a test drive and see if it made sense to me… And it really is game changing.

    Torrent may be enough most of the time, but Stremio has a serious problem about speed, I don’t know why. I enabled the “ultra fast” settings in the menu, but I can’t get the same speed I’d get downloading the same torrent through any torrent client.

    It made it impossible to watch 4gb movies, for example, I was basically stuck with lower quality 1-2gb ones.

    Real debrid changed that. I watched a 17gb one the other day just fine.

    If some movie isn’t available through RD, you can signal RD to download it and it will be available to you (and others) a bit later as well, but I haven’t really needed it so far.


















  • What does real-debrid really do? It is mentioned often on Stremio and I get it that you download things faster for it, but I couldn’t find any explanation about what it really offers as a service.

    Is its purpose to download things for you in their server and then you download from them faster? Does it have a limit of how much data you can store?

    I dunno, I’m having some trouble with the use case and how it would work for me.



  • You’re in fmhy, which is not federated to some few instances (Lemmygrad is one I know, for instance). There’s a map somewhere, I’ll link it here later, so you can check if an instance is federated to another. If they are, users from both can interact with each other and subscribe to each other’s communities.

    So, a few concepts first: to subscribe to a community in another instance, SOMEONE from your community must have subscribed to it before you. If someone did, you will find it on Jerboa (search, second button on bottom, from left to right). Use the feddit link providrd to find a community you like, no need to copy the link to it. Just type the name and it will show up.

    Now what to do if no one has subscribed to it yet? You can be the first to provide it to your entire instance, BUT not from Jerboa (yet). You gotta login to your instance via web browser, go to communities and search for the full link (two formats: !community@instance.xyz or instance.xyz/c/community). It will return no results at first, but it will fetch and then you search for the community. Sometimes, you gotta refresh and just search for community again.

    That’s it. Remember: it will only work if the instance you’re logged into and the one that has the community you want to join are federated.
