  • A few of mine :

    • AndOTP : A good app for OTP that actually let’s you backup your keys and move them easily and securely to a new phone
    • Blokada : A system wide adblocker for Android. 4000000 ads blocked so far on my phone
    • YouTube Vanced: Not really a “hidden” gem but a cool app nonetheless. I wish people knew you could get an ad free YouTube experience on mobile. It also includes sponsor block so you really get straight to content. Also let’s you get a YT popup player and shutdown the screen with the video still playing.
    • F-Droid an Android open source app market. Often includes apps that are not allowed on Google market.







  • I was eager to try out Liftoff but unfortunately I can’t seem to log in on it :/

    I noticed my password contains a space in the middle and I always get an “invalid password” error.

    I didn’t try yet to change the password and try again but I suspect the password field when you login might not like a space in it.

    In any case, if I can check if the password is really the issue, I will try to create a proper bug report on the git repository or something.

    Thanks for the hard work ! It makes me happy to see devs embracing Lemmy and trying to make the best out of a pretty sad situation with reddit.





  • Honestly, reading the comments of some out there regarding this issue. I’m starting to think that they did the right choice.

    It doesn’t take long to find fairly rude or insulting content regarding this.

    Most people have no reason to care if a small instance decided to sail away.

    It’s disappointing because I think this platform is already turning into reddit in term of tone/aggressiveness.

    And it’s not even just comments, it’s upvoting memes that are genuinely rude or targeting a specific community. I don’t like the way this is going.



  • Honestly, I respect their decision but at the same time I wonder why they didn’t create a standalone unfederated from the get go.

    If you want to keep the community small and tightly nit it’s just not compatible with the federation system. Now people got invested in some beehaw communities only to end up disconnected from them.

    Still, it’s not like there is a guide for this. We are all learning how to make the federation work. I hope we can keep it civil toward instances that choose to defederate.

    We are all invested in the same thing: Making Lemmy successful.
