Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • Huh. The nearest I have to an actual “AOSP” device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of “stock Android” I’ve ever seen, and I’m going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?

    Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I’ve barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.

    Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish…

    But there is something that just fuggs up and turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈








  • By your logic

    When people use that word they usually have their own logic burnt into their brain. But, bide with me here please.

    I don’t really see any “logic” whatsoever moving/ consolidating/closing an existing community (with inactive accounts as mods) outside of the Instance admins closing it from a community request. Those users might have a preference to use another Instance, for instance, because of hosting laws etc (I dunno).

    Maybe they don’t like lemdro.id perhaps for its hosting company or whatever, maybe they just wanna use their own Instance but subscribe to that community?

    Consolidation should really only happen in my own opinion if the community themselves + the Instance admins are asking for it and I can’t see that yet.



  • Lemmy is order of magnitudes smaller than Reddit

    Yeah, that’s kinda my point too. When the Digg > reddit migration happened I didn’t promote my community at all. Still growing, even though spez has come in and yoinked it.

    If c/Xiaomi, or c/Android, or c/Google in the fediverse becomes larger in the other instance it’s still beneficial to have all of them since if one goes down, the other serves the fediverse an alternative right?


  • Again I’m not sure the admins of LW actaully want to migrate any community and I’m also not really sure why, it’s needed. Can’t these things live in harmony?

    One of the best things I ever did was intentionally not promote my first community I ever made since I knew it was asking for it in doing so, and rather left it to grow by itself.

    Which it is (albeit on fucking reddit)


  • Yeah I kinda get ya, but still don’t agree with competing solely on numbers and feel it could lop off someone’s feed without them wanting/realising it.

    And like u/empty. I’ve worked with fellow mods over on reddit who, to this day if you looked at their profile you’d think they were a dead account.

    But then, if you check the modlogs it’s like yikes, this guy does 95.66% of the grind. All Praise the u/empty evil mod that shall not be named. 😘
