At first, I also told myself that I didn't have the time. Then i tried it.. felt like there's a lot to learn, it was similar to when I first started using Arch.

Originally I intended to remove it after trying for a week, but it's been over 2 months and I have yet to expeience any issue. I'm gonna be staying with this one for a while.

It's independent.

I used to suggest linux to my friends and family but i stopped doing that as i found none of them actually cared what OS they ran. They also have a misunderstanding that Linux is very complex and difficult to use.

Years ago I started out like this, then gradually started reading and understanding the stuff.

You can go to their official website and download it - https://f-droid.org/

Personally I prefer to use fdroid through Droid-ify.

The fresh feeling of a reinstall lasts for about a week.

Okay. So although all the apps support activitypub - only similar apps can replace each other ( like mastodon with calckey)

Apps with different feature sets will have to remain seperate, but will allow following users from different apps (lemmy and mastodon for instance).

Basically there is no single app that can do everything (as of now)

This is idea that i get after reading through the comments. Please correct me if i'm wrong

Wow, i wasn't aware of this phone until I saw this comment. It reminds me of the Galaxy S5 active.

I have not used kbin yet. Is there any feature that really makes it worth using over Lemmy ? I'm curious as I want to try it out sometime.

P.S - I use Lemmy through wefwef

• Kiss Launcher
• Neo Launcher
• Simple Launcher
• Ruthless launcher

If you feel like checking out something different, there's Kvaesitso or maybe mLauncher.

I'm curious how software can last shorter. Could you maybe give me an example ?

The only way i can think of is companies reducing software support.

It's possible that Apple may do this, but for android - it'd just result in a thriving community for Custom ROMs.

On my old phone i used Florisboard, it was pretty good and it's FOSS as well.

These days I use the samsung keyboard as I recently switched to a samsung device. The keyboard customizations are really awesome, if you have KeysCafe module installed. Not sure how privacy friendly it is tho.

Well, by "good" I meant general purpose, no NSFW, federates with bigger instances, consitent uptime .. etc.

I suggested Zoro to my friends and they have been using it consistently ever since. I hope the new dev team keeps it's original spirit even with the rebranding .

1. Create a free Nextdns account.
2. Add some blocklists
3. Use the private dns settings on your android to set the dns. (i think this feature is present in Android versions which are 9 and above)

Voila ! you have blocked ads without wasting your VPN slot.

As an added bonus you can also configure nextdns to block your specific phone vendor tracking as well.

If you are interested in trying different web browsers you can check out Fennec from F-droid or Brave browser. These are my go-to browsers on android.

I don't understand why moving to discord is a thing when we have Lemmy serving the exact same purpose as reddit but even better.

Check if 'organic maps' app is available on ios. Thats what i use on android.

I think maybe OP doesn't like kiwi's UI/UX

I have not used IRC extensively. But i have used nibl.co.uk (for anime) a couple of times when I couldn't find torrents.

I second Saikou. Really solid app.
