Starfield. Still figuring out lots of things since not everything is intuitive. Also started playing It Takes Two with my SO who has never held a controller before. It’s been an exercise in patience. On one hand I am happy that she willing to pick up a controller and play with me. I am sure it’s as frustrating for her as it’s for me. But damn is it tough to go so slow.

There are certain sites which terminate your sessions after a while. For example, banking sites or most government portals. In such situations, the auto fill function is very handy.

I am on Lemmy.zip and the admins are very transparent on the funding as they have set up an Open Collective page, and they are also very receptive to user suggestions and feedback.

Absolute madlad

Many of the lemmy apps that are still in development are not released on any of these stores.

I didn’t know this was possible! Thanks for sharing, will give this a try.

I have most of the Android apps installed, but the two I keep switching between are Connect and Thunder. Both devs keep pushing out updates to the apps periodically and are very responsive to user feedback.

There are a lot of options for Lemmy, but beware they still need to mature a bit. The two apps I keep using the most are Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. Lots of users swear by Liftoff but I find the aesthetics a bit lacking for me. There’s also Lemming which is the most barebones but has a great UI for something that has only had a couple of alpha releases. Most if not all of these are available to download from Github.

Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It’s crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn’t handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.

I am doing my part!

Another Connect for Lemmy use here. Apart from Jerboa, I feel Conner and Thunder have the most polished UI so far. The Connect Dev also seems to be super proactive and keeps rolling out multiple updates in a day with core features. It’s even more impressive when you consider that this is just a solo dev. Also waiting to see how Sync for Lemmy turns out!

The instance I am on (Lemmy.zip) seems to have a lot of game based communities. You can check it out to see if a community you’re looking for exists or create your own.

Not sure if this is because it was fixed in a newer version. I am using 0.0.34 from the Github repo. What about you? Here’s a video in action.

First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded.

Just FYI, you can long press anywhere on the body of the comment and don’t have to specifically on the upvote/time.

I am one of the 369 (nice) who signed up. I was originally on beehaw but after they took the decision to defederate from a couple of other instances (for which in my opinion they gave a very well thought out reason), I wanted to have an account on another instance (blame it on my FOMO). I am not a very technical user but really enjoy reading well thought out posts like these, so really appreciate the write up! From the tone of the post, I think you are a very considerate and ethical person and am happy that I chose this instance! Jerboa allows multiuser switching so I can keep switching both my accounts. The app still crashes when clicking community links which should hopefully be fixed soon. I am still figuring out my way in the fediverse, and want to thank you for all you do for us! 🙂
