  That’s just the nature of HN, you can post absolutely any link on here and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect a blog post author to accommodate someone arriving on the page with zero context. The Jellyfin blog achieves one important criteria: when you click the logo at the top it takes you to the actual homepage, rather than a blog homepage. So if you want content on what Jellyfin is it’s only one click away.

  Jellyfin is a Plex clone, yes. One I'm hoping to switch to since Plex banned all servers hosted on Hetzner.

  Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, that happened when emby close-sourced a bunch of things and pissed everyone off. It's not really a plex clone inasmuch as it's a truly self-hosted alternative, given that plex uses centralized auth (aka you're possibly back to VLC if your internet is out). I've used Jellyfin for years now, hasn't really skipped a beat aside from dumping the entire library DB when it started without the library storage spun up, and even that was just a rescan overnight and everything was back and happy.
