Many thanks. May I also ask if there is an alternate frontend client or perhaps an android app for kbin ?

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

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.

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

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 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

2 months ago I bought a regular samsung galaxy s23 and it’s been running great so far. I expected MIUI levels of bloat, but surprisingly it is not that bad.

I had to disable a few samsung apps and for the most part, the phone stays out of my way and lets me do whatever i want.

I wish the s23 lineup gets good custom rom support. Would love to run a lean LineageOS / any AOSP based rom with MicroG on this phone.

I’m not an iOS user, but I have seen something like revanced which can be sideloaded.

The app was called uYou+ or something, i don’t reacall the actual name.

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

Personally I prefer to use fdroid through Droid-ify.

Opensuse is great. Yast was more useful than I initially thought.

On a different note - For people who like tinkering, nixos can also be a great option, it also allows rollbacks but doesn’t use BTRFS snapshots out of the box like opensuse.

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 wish Graphene also supported other devices apart from Pixels.

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.

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

I’m using an app called ‘Liftoff for lemmy’. It has been good so far. I’m not sure if it has all the features found in infinity tho.
