I switched a while back, I think so. Some premium features of plex are available free (like downloading media). It’s also less bloated. Personally I hated plex trying to shove it’s live tv packages or whatever at me. But honestly, if you’re happy with plex, I’d stick with it. They’re pretty similar.
I’m not a power user but it’s way better than Plex imo. The personal media management features are on par with plex without all the bullshit ads / FAST services being shoved down your throat. To me it feels like Plex got too popular and the owners realized that a) they could make a shitload of money off of their existing userbase and b) the more they gear the app around FAST crap the more they can act like it’s used for legitimate reasons and not just piracy
You can find tons of discussions of pros and cons online either in the dreaded reddit space of r/jellyfin and I think there are also already some threads on that in the lemmy community of jellyfin.

Yeah, I have a jellyfin server, but you still have to acquire the files.
Damn, if only there was a way to do that. guess we just have to keep paying Disney then.
I’ve been curious about jellyfin for a while. Is it worth migrating from plex?
