This shouldn’t be something you need to do with super high frequency. Do you know what is causing the blockage?
I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁
You could transcode your downloads and store them at a lower quality if you want to save space. It is extra steps though.
It’s a valid question and I understand your point, but it becomes an issue for me when I end up being caught up the a snowball effect and need to use a bad app too. Here in Europe, WhatsApp is an example of something I’d rather not use, but because it’s the platform everyone else is on, it’s very difficult to avoid. The parallel I see is if Twitter is supplanted not by Mastodon, but by Threads, then that is the place people will gravitate towards and then the privacy friendly version becomes less useful due to lack of users and content.
Of course it is an option to just not use these apps, but the preferably outcome is that I am able to have the nice experience without sacrificing my privacy.
- Old reddit redirect
- Reddit enhancement suite
Not sure how much you need these anymore 👀
Not sure just mildly infuriating 😅
Also infuriating: the number of my friends who have installed this shitty app 😑
Also used sync, maybe that’s why it feels nice to me too
I’m also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I’d recommend it too right now.
Would strongly recommend a password manager. I use bitwarden, you can use self host it or not. If you don’t like bitwarden there are plenty of free options. Random password generation and sync is going to be a better practice than much else I can think of, so I’d encourage you to go for it! 😬
I think over the next few months we are going to see quite the pace of changes in lemmy technically, as new features are introduced. I would be careful with saying you’re happy to wait because something stable will be the result. I think it’s going to be a case of racing to keep up and, despite the developers best intentions, it will have bugs too. Hopefully over time it will be less blatantly obvious than now with other clients, but don’t give up on sync when it launches and is not the sync for reddit experience you’re used to! I’m sure he’ll get there in the end :)
+1 for duckduckgo, it removes all the built in trackers too and is built into their android app. I really like it.
Oh God he should have looked how she was as defence minister in Germany before suggesting this 🙈
Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.
That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
Which app have you been struggling with? Both Jerboa and Connect worked fine with different servers for me, I’m guessing others are fine too
Are many other servers proactively anti-lgbt?
Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for “Personal Computer Memory Card International Association”
There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)
