(That was hysterical…)

I knew someone would jump on that one… 😏

Ooof. I guess I’m just too old school: I hate the idea of “renting” software.

Yup. “All day, every day”, indeed. Absolutely essential.

Was seeing this a lot this morning. One post was there 11 times.

It looks like only Jerboa and something called Lemmur are the only two available on F-Droid at the moment?

Jerboa works pretty well for me. I really like wefwef (a web app). Liftoff looks nice to me.

Ultimately a lot of us are eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy!

[edit] Having said all of that–I’m really having fun trying any and all of them as they arrive!

I’m nowhere near an expert, but it was so easy to root/flash my Pixel 7 Pro (especially with this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixelflasher-for-google-pixel-7-pro-support-thread.4505287/), that I’ll probably stick with Pixels for awhile?

Removed by mod

I love the smell of updates in the morning.

Sometimes I hate being this cynical–but I’m afraid I agree 100%.

I heard that as well. Would explain the timing at least.

You can check on Reddit surreptitiously by going to https://libreddit/r/[subreddit]. If I understand correctly, reddit gets no “credit” for your visit that way.

The sub that I mod has gotten a LOT quieter since I stopped posting there (around the time of the blackout). Historically I was doing the bulk of the posting there, I guess.

There are 11K subscribers over there; my new “official” community has 16 at latest count–despite my notice and links to it.

When things settle down in the Fediverse, I’ll make an announcement that I will be posting stuff exclusively on lemmy. We’ll see what happens. 🤷‍♂️

Ah, I had forgotten that. But it’s not called “Lemmy.app”, so I think the minimally motivated will be confused?

I laughed at your “…she doesn’t want to install another app…”. I have a close friend that told me the same thing.

I was able to convince my sister to install Signal so that we could more securely send financial receipts back and forth, etc.

More than one of you in this thread have mentioned Matrix. I realized I signed up for it during the Great Migration about 3 weeks ago, but I haven’t spent any time there yet. How is it the same/different/better than whatever else? Curious. (I suppose Google might be my friend in this situation.)

Is she looking for an “official” app–not realizing there isn’t such a thing? That they all have different names and are so new that they all have different levels of functionality?

And that Lemmy.world is so slammed with new users that most of the apps don’t seem to be working properly? ☺️

What are we looking at? Clearly something burned, but… 🤔
