who gives a fuck if they dont sell in EU

They sell in some countries of the EU, but yeah, they don't serve the entire EU.

Without Spotify, many Europeans will go back to piracy.

Their catalogue isn't visible even if you are in a supported country? Ouch. I hate how Qobuz keeps coming up in these threads, but they still don't serve even Eastern Europe, let alone Global South countries - I don't want to listen just to classical and jazz.

Importing Facebook posts into Mastodon or Friendica? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] yigruzeltil@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't have much programming knowledge, however at this point I'm grateful if I can at least download my FB data - I haven't tried it yet and, honestly, I'm afraid they might ask for my gov ID. I never wanted to do that, as they tried to when my account, where my main name was my pen name, got busted for "fake name". Funnily, they didn't ask for ID anymore when I inputted my legal name! I hate them for doing that - but now I also hate Bluesky for suspending my freshly started alt account and asking for ID via email - which is just bonkers and discourages me from sticking long term to Bluesky. Which sucks cause right now there's a lot more activity on Bluesky than on even Mastodon, as far as I can tell.

European alternative to InfinityFree web hosting? (lemm.ee)
 

For the purpose of replacing my old Blogspot as no-budget personal webpage for my public activity, I've been looking into static site generation and free web hosting (free domain included) and it seems like the only good solution out there is InfinityFree, however they are US-based. Did I miss any EU alternative?

Comprehensive guide to EU email providers? (lemm.ee)
 

Hey, is there any exhaustive guide to EU-based email providers that breaks down not only which ones have free tier, but also which ones allow multiple accounts and verification by email only? To my horror, I've found out days after switching my multiple email accounts from Gmail to another email provider that the latter explicitly forbid multiple accounts, unlike Gmail, something which was buried in fine print.

The last poster says: "I found a roundabout way to go at it by transfering the posts to wordpress, I'll figure it out from there :)" I would have liked more info on that, though I'm afraid there would still be a catch - I don't use Wordpress anymore and never was a power user, so I'm not sure it would be possible on a free tier to stash an entire Facebook archive on a Wordpress page - and then what about importing it into the fediverse? There should be a guide for this somewhere.

Importing Facebook posts into Mastodon or Friendica? (lemm.ee)
 

Ok, this might be a dumb question, but is it really technically possible in any way - even a convoluted one, like manually downloading HTML pages from Facebook? - to mass import posts from one's Facebook into Mastodon or Friendica instead of painstakingly copying them one by one? I've got a 10+ year archive to port and it's a daunting task to go through them...

Or you could just use a Mastodon instance with a higher limit of characters, unless you really need intricate formatting and/or more than one picture.
