It takes a tinkering kind to truly enjoy Linux, sounds like your old man is one of us, go for it! 😄

Now to get him off the Apple phone and into an alt android OS…

But, why? I can understand for you and I, but does a 50-60yo, need to shift from a platform they’re comfortable with and can afford, just because their nerdy kid doesn’t find it cool?

They got a service provider to let its users browse Facebook for free, but that was banned a year later for being unfair. It’s still a thing in other developing counties I guess.

Yes! Thank you so much!! It’s beautiful this app has the feature I wanted already available 🤗

I can only find an option to block the community, not the instance. Blocking|hiding communities individually is tedious when you’re trying to personalize your feed

It would be super helpful if we can hide entire instances from showing up at an individual level. For e.g. I see a lot of posts from feddit.de - I don’t have anything bad against the server or the users, but the posts there add no value to my experience and fill up my feed with content I’ll simply not understand. It would be a better UX to be able to hide these without having the home instance and other users on it be affected by your preference.

If Lemmy doesn’t have push notifications, would this be bad for battery if enabled?

Save an image - it’s either in Downloads or inside some folder in DCIM or Pictures or some random folder in root - or if you’re super lucky - inside some random folder in the app’s data directory.

Doesn’t it? I always click on one of those notifications and it opens the download folder for me 🤔

It is possible that a significant amount is spam or something else, but I do find myself using Lemmy much more now that Sync is available.

The only problem with the prices is it’s not yet targeted for regional value. In my country the cost to remove ads is a very fine dinner, not a couple of coffees.
