So, I will be getting a new Pixel 7a tomorrow most likely.
It is a one month old device apparently in Mint condition, with ~$100 cheaper price, should I go for it?
I currently use a Pixel 3 XL, which I bought on Day 1 so I am thinking it is time to upgrade. Anything I should know before I go through with it?
FYI, this should probably posted to askandroid, as per rule 2.
Is there a chance we can loosen up the rules a bit here? I understand why its needed on reddit, but its pretty dead here with the rules so tight.
Would just mention that @Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi is just a fellow community member like yourself - thanks for the helpful reminder here, Blaze!
We’re overall trying to be more flexible at the start here while also still being responsive to user reporting.
Unlike on Reddit, we don’t have submission tagging that could be used to filter in/out certain types of content. Having the separate communities (like requested here) is useful so people can choose for themselves based on the content they’d like to see (e.g., folks who want to see questions can subscribe to !askandroid@lemdro.id or !androidmemes@lemdro.id for memes).
The idea behind Lemmy is that we can just pick and choose when subscribing the Fediverse, with everything appearing together under your “Subscribed” feed. For people using Lemdro.id as their home instance, all of the above similarly appear together under “Local”. Hopefully Lemmy and app developers can implement some good multi-community groupings to allow for even more customization in the future.
So, just for me to understand, are you going to edit rule 2, or are you going to remove this post?
We’re keeping rule 2 as-is so folks can decide for themselves whether they want to see the content. But considering there are already a number of responses on this one, we’ll keep it up. Otherwise, we try to catch them early enough to direct the OP to !askandroid@lemdro.id (we understand folks are still figuring Lemmy out and may not be aware of the sidebar rules due to their particular app).
Seems a bit confusing to be honest, would be more consistent to remove rule 2 until there is enough content to enforce it again.
Just my 2 cents
Definitely appreciate the input. It’s generally difficult to change a community’s focus down the line. We’re ultimately trying to bring more folks over from the subreddit, so aspiring to achieve parity on the content front is important from the get-go. Not doing so risks having the people who dislike tech support posts avoid the community (or Lemmy) altogether.
Keeping them separated is more work for mods, but should help ensure the option is there for folks on all sides. It should become less confusing for folks pretty soon.
Both approaches have their pros and cons, to be honest. Let’s see how things evolve
I’m in favour of loosening them too to be honest, but currently they are still there
Understood, thanks. Will delete my post!
