Just a smoother and faster experience. No dead links, no slow downloads, no files that are separated into multiple parts…
You get a VPN and you don’t have to worry about “getting caught”. Private trackers just further elevate that experience and get you access to better content.

I’d lose that one day after buying it.

What are those?

One trick for a better fingerprint recognition is to set 2+ fingers but scan only one finger for all of them.

This may or may not also increase the likelihood of someone else succesfully unlocking your phone with their own fingerprint.

I kinda started using lemmy less lately. I shall fix that!

What does FUTO use? It works pretty good (based on my limited testing) and it works offline.

Image Toolbox would probably be your best bet if you want a native android app.

Unfortunately no.
I don’t think there is a FOSS one that supports it.

I only use FOSS ones. I hop between florisboard and unexpected keyboard, and I gave heliboard a shot again recently because it has the swipe/glide typing but I couldn’t stick with it because I was missing other features, so I’m back on floris.

Since I only use open source keyboards, I’m not really concerned about privacy…so no blocking of internet access.

I also thought about trying out the clipboard history, and also am wondering if it’s safe…

If you want to try FOSS keyboard again, HeliBoard is your best bet.

Initially made an account on lemmy.ml in 2022. I was eyeing the fediverse, and when I found that there is a “reddit alternative”, I wanted to check it out, but there wasn’t much activity so I didn’t use it much other than checking on it occasionally.
Then in 2023 I made an account on tchncs…when majority of users also hopped on lemmy.

It’s one guy posting all of those xD

Did you maybe miss the linked article? :D

Most mobile apps can, and on desktop I found these 2 methods that I mentioned in the comments here. Maybe you find it useful.

Well I don’t use either of those platforms, I was just curious. I just shared what I observed, I guess it does sound like a complaint.
Mostly disappointed that there even is a need for such a thing.

So all 3 people on the whole bluesky who even know they can do that or give any fuck about mastodon.

So you can’t interact at all, or see bluesky comments or anything. It’s basically as if you subscribed to an RSS feed. Pretty useless no?

Never really understood the appeal of twitter-like platforms anyway.

They allegedly remove posts/comments about lemmy? And even if they don’t, I feel like it could have the opposite effect. People would see those posts just like ads/promotion/spam. Which would give lemmy a bad rep. Unless something big happens, like some big community switching to lemmy, or someone with a big following promotes lemmy, it will hardly see a big spike in user count.

The only way is to passively “advertise” it. Maybe add the link to your lemmy account in your reddits about you section, if you are making OC add your lemmy handle there as well…

And the last way, which is most likely the best way to do it, is to post good content on lemmy, keep communities alive. And people will eventually join.

FeedMe works as well.

What is even the point of “piracy groups”? What exactly can you find there that you cannot in other places designed for that, e.g., trackers, usenet, forums…?
