Added Bluesky, Mastodon, Slack and Discord channels!

Here! But yeah, the lack of Lemmy is a bummer. I suppose that other services like Misskey are also supported via Mastodon support though.

AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

yeah, no thanks; putting out AI slop on social media is not the way forward.

I believe this is cathering more to business users. But I fully agree, AI is literally turning social media into dogshit. And the internet as well…

@Midnitte right. I didn’t think about this, sorry 😁 however, modern Android versions have this option built-in. I used Twilight as well in the past, however, I no longer feel like I need it.

@thingsiplay Last year they offered 20 GB free for every referral - both for you and the person you referred - because of their anniversary. And the features just make it such a compelling option as well. Such a great service.

@hedge

It does

@hedge I am quite a hoarder for cloud services, lol. The most private ones I use are Mega, pCloud and Nextcloud. Alternatively, you can also use Syncthing if you only care about syncing your files over.

@user68k I think this will be the first GTK3 app that will have an actual options menu instead of a tucked away hamburger menu with options. I think it’s gonna be interesting.

@gencha No reason at all. It was probably wrongfully flagged by Google’s AI based on some stupid wrongful training data. At least that’s what I think though, because folks at Pushbullet (remember the app?) seem to be having similar problems about “not mentioning that they upload user data to their servers” even though they clearly mention this when the app is opened for the first time.

@Mechanize

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted I don’t think CSD would be a big nuisance on a mobile phone or tablet, pretty much all apps nowadays have it.

@imblue

@imblue A bit late I think? Wasn’t Qt also available for Android since a while ago? I mean, there are some apps that I know of.

@Wiz I don’t know either 😁

I know about it because that’s where I get all my Linux customization stuff from

@clark I used Notally at first, but I wanted cross-device syncing at some point. So I discovered this app by a developer called Bill The Farmer, which this is insanely small (just a few KB). I keep my notes in pCloud. I’m not sure how private it is, but I am thinking of storing them inside a veracrypt container, synced with pCloud instead, and I am also keeping an eye on other options that have the ability of storing notes as Markdown files.

I’m keeping an eye for now on Quillpad ver. 1.5 but I’m open to other options as well. 😁

For political issues, you should petition governments directly on issues.

Not sure if this is a great alternative. This is a thing that is totally dependent from country to country. In my country, there is no such platform that I’m aware of (on the local or national level at least. Ok, I may petition the EU, but they may just have no responsibility into my matters).

Many institutions do have email addresses though, and if, for example, you have a website, you can write an email template and point to an institution where people could send that email. Even that I don’t know how feasible it could be, but it could be more doable in more parts of the world, I think.

Otherwise, for Romania there is declic.ro, a platform owned by an NGO who relies solely on donations to run it, and also runs its own campaigns.

@hedge Right now, most Fediverse projects are analogies of their centralized counterparts, albeit with some differences (e.g. you can add a title to Friendica posts, but not on the Facebook ones. You can add inline media to Friendica posts and comments, on Facebook you can’t etc.), so you can take that in a way. A short answer to your question would be the one in the first comment of the post:

Interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon doesn’t work well because the two services structure their content differently. Lemmy is community based and Mastodon is user based. Lemmy doesn’t have a mechanism to follow an individual user, and Mastodon doesn’t have an analog to communities (afaik).

With the addition that you can follow Fediverse groups on Mastodon, but you cannot create Fediverse groups on Mastodon (as Mastodon itself doesn’t have any group feature). If you’re not looking into creating and admining groups yourself, then you can safely consider Mastodon. Otherwise, you can pick Friendica, Kbin, Mbin or Hubzilla (among others). In fact, this is how I see this very post on Friendica.

Also, btw, Pixelfed is also adding support for groups.

@morgunkorn

@maki I remember there was a photos plug-in or something for Nextcloud that allows you to see the photos in a gallery (Kinda like in Google Photos).

Thanks! I’ll check it out. Foobar is fine and does a lot of things that I do not see other players doing. What I didn’t like was the fact that it has no adaptive icon and there is no way to display the lyrics of a song. Plus that I was looking for something that was following the material design guidelines more.

Edit: just checked it. Seems like it’s not properly reading some artist tags, so it cannot find them:

i.postimg.cc/Y249YqV3/Screensh…

Plus, in Foobar, a split album is displayed in both artist’s views. Poweramp simply creates a different artist entry, just for the split:

i.postimg.cc/66DQ0xxN/Screensh…

I did not check how an album with multiple discs is displayed, but I still find Foobar’s library management capabilities unlike any other’s.

I do have to admit that Poweramp has a cool interface though.

@electro1 they do need to update their website a bit fwiw. Friendiqa is not that great at all. But no, that’s not an official one either. They do not have any first-party app at all.

Edit: You can also find a help section wherever you might choose to create an account, or a wiki available at wiki.friendi.ca/ with more information.

And if you want to get more familiar with how Friendica works, you can also check out (and share) anubis2814’s videos on YouTube on the topic:

Just tried the mobile version of Winamp looking for a better Android music player. The interface looks great tbh, but man, they got no support for wma files and some of the tags are not read correctly (on the songs I own). I know this is not an issue for most of the people, but for me, it’s really limiting on the music players I can use on my phone. Sadly, Winamp doesn’t fit in this category either. Thank god there is Foobar that supports all these from day 1

Glamp

@electro1 Which app more exactly? I’m not aware of Friendica having any mobile app. The web version seems more than fine. If, however, you want a dedicated mobile app, then check out Relatica.

Friendica also supports the Mastodon API, so you can also log in with pretty much any Mastodon app.
