They probably removed gallery since fossify galery is on fdroid now

Not to forget the buit in popup showing the shortcuts, similar to which-key, but built in

Samsung phones just sucks.

Switched to fairphone and could root it without installing twrp, there was only one extra app and I could just disable the google apps and switch to foss ones.

I dont expect a decentralised platform to be profitable and also think donations are better than in-app purchases.

But I dont want big instances to suddenly turn off because they cant afford it anymore or the development being behind so much we loose users to missing features.

Looking at the donation pages of lemmy instances there are enough donations for now but it is good to have a plan B for in case we get flooded by users not willing to donate so this platform survives long term. That plan B should be as least Invasive as possible,so no ads,analytics or paywall. Thats why I suggested something that is completely cosmetic.

The hard truth is that long term, we likely need another way besides donations to keep the ecosystem alive.

There is a reason many YouTubers sell discord roles. Many people are willing to spend 5€/month for a stupid discord rank, so I don’t see why it’s wrong to profit of people willing to buy awards

If you prefer direct donation, having something like awards won’t stop you but if someone wants to buy that overpriced sticker, they can as well.

I can understand the mindset, but I worry most people don’t think like this.

The thing is, that small rewards for “donations” will likely make the people much more willing to spend money in the first place. Even if it’s as small as a sticker on someone else’s post that costs the servers involved like a handful of API calls. But when a 1€ award is 3x as popular as the 1€ donation, it will greatly increase the funds available to the instance and, hence better servers, more features etc

Good to know. Havent used it for years so I didnt realise it expanded outside the browser.

Also you kinda force yourself to stay in the appl ecosystem. I strongly suggest switching to a platform-independent password manager.

Edit: Looks like firefox is platform independent

notates username in case i need an account somewhere but am too lazy to create one

Same. I am bad at coming up with good passwords so I just ended using the same for 95% of websites.

Since I started using password managers, life is so much easier and secure. And bitwarden is by far the best option. Its free, premium is less than1$/months and completely open source so I can actually trust it.They also have exelent cross platform support.

Im using jerboa and it looks great!
