I used to despise the huge quick settings buttons when they first came out, but I’ve grown to really like them. I had to use an older phone without the new quick settings and I noticed I really preferred the new ones because they’re easier to press and just feel way more polished. I am upset that we don’t just have the option of choosing between either one though…

Also the fact they don’t have a web app is infuriating

And I’m 100% okay with that, my goal in going here wasn’t for reddit to die, it was to have an alternative to reddit. And it’s fucking amazing, I’ve almost completely stopped using Reddit thanks to this amazing place. I only use reddit now for niche subs like my ebikes sub.

Thanks for the very detailed explanation!

Why is Hexbear so popular? I’ve never even heard of it

It’s crazy to think I was just an infant when lots of you folk joined reddit.

As someone in the USA, yes. I mostly use discord to message friends and sometimes Instagram if I have to (which is just as bad as Whatsapp but everyone uses it)

I rarely use SMS anymore unless both folk have RCS chat enabled.

What are extended emoji characters?

Idk if it uses max quality but XManager is great. I don’t use Spotify

I just use YouTube Music and patch it with ReVanced for no ads. I used to download all my music too but it became too much hassle and I didn’t have time for it anymore. My music taste is also quite obscure so its hard to find high quality audio files for it. I still download my favorite songs for when I lose service though.

I’ve tried the extension, it just didn’t compare for me.

I’ve been waiting for something like this again. Imagine being able to message your friends on Instagram from something like mastodon or lemmy, or vice versa (even though meta would never do that)

Firefox not having tab groups is the only reason I haven’t switched over, once they do that I’ll probably never use a chromium browser again.

It is an advertisement company after all :/

You make a pretty good argument here, never thought of it this way.

I’d love to but that would be giving reddit more traffic so I personally won’t be

How the fuck did you get so many (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!

I fucking love my Jellyfin server, it’s so seamless

Pretty sure it’s a universal app to access all kinds of fediverse apps, like mastodon, calckey, etc.

I’m curious, why did you choose kbin over Lemmy? I immediately started away from it due to the lack of a mobile app and just seemed less integrated.
