That just sends a screenshot on a map and a Google maps link. What we want is realtime location sharing
I always used it when I had one.
Now, I use an adapter for headphone jack to USB-C. Every day.
For F-Droid in specific, you'll need an F-Droid client. I use Droid-ify (GitHub) (F-Droid) (IzzyOnDroid), but you can use whichever you prefer. F-Droid is a good source for open source apps.
If you're sideloading from different sources, Obtanium (GitHub) (IzzyOnDroid) is useful to download apps, and keep them updated. You can even kinda use it as an F-Droid client.
Google is pretty lax on what it allows on Google play, so unless you're trying to avoid using Google services or you want to install apps that aren't on the play store, you don't need to do it.
If you want adbocking and extra features in some apps (especially YouTube), check out ReVanced.
Google isn't lying - there are risks to sideloading if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure what you're downloading is coming from legitimate sources you trust. For example, if you look up ReVanced, some unofficial websites show up which may have malware. Triple check everything is coming from an official source.
Lemmy's subscriber user count is usually wrong.
You only see the true number if the community is on your instance
Check the community from the original instance to see the actual number of subscribers
If you're searching for instances, you should use https://lemmyverse.net/communities since it lets you quickly compare subscribers, shows you more results and also is just better overall
Yeah, just upload pictures in the post body. Like you do in comments you can do it in the post text as well.
Lemmy has a way of doing it automatically, but if you want to do it manually the formatting is

Mastodon doesn't actually have communities built in, so if you want to post in a Lemmy community you have to @ the community. (That means that there's a decent chance this post was an accident, since linking to a community and posting to a community is the same on mastodon)
It doesnt no
I would hate such a change. I can't see emoji reactions ever being better than seeing a single number for vote count.
Reddit did kinda have their own emoji reactions, but they locked them behind a paywall, and called them awards. I don't think anyone liked them, even if it wasn't for the money. They cluttered the UI, they were annoying, even Reddit didn't like them, since they're removing them now.
Now imagine that but instead of a few people who paid Reddit for some reason, everyone can do it, for free. Thousands of emoji reactions per post.
Emoji reactions work for chat platforms since only a few people see each chat, but after a few hundred people see the post it becomes meaningless emoji spam (see discord announcement channels)
I disagree, they definitely don't want their own mini Lemmy. They want a safe space they are happy with, and defederation the only way they can do that with Lemmy's current mod tools.
Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works make up about 20% of the acitve users in the threadiverse (source). That is a lot, and it sucks, but it's far off from making beehaw an isolated instance.
Imo for now new users should be discouraged from joining Beehaw, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works, since all the content can be seen from other instances anyways.
Reddit tried to remove https://i.reddit.com, but they forgot that you could access it by going to https://reddit.com/.i
Wouldn't be surprised if they would remove RSS feeds but forgot they exist
Tbf there's a link to imdb on the first image
Yeah I usually like the Google boxes in search results, but this is so excessive. Everything after and including the polls is just completely unnecessary
