Iirc that requires Android 10 correct? When I initially read of the patch I had an old phone that wasn’t capable of android 10 but have recently upgraded. Do you happen to have the link with patch instructions?

I’m using liftoff ATM and haven’t had the confusion you’re mentioning (I don’t think) but haven’t browsed much. Maybe worth a try.

Waiting on Boost for Lemmy myself

Waiting on boost here too, Ruben or whoever needs to hurry up!

Same here! Was a reddit addict for years. Have been dropping my usage down for a while, to the point that I barely used it before the api changes. After the API changes I quit altogether bc I feel greasy every time I support them in any way. Then Boost my 3pa finally died and I haven’t logged in since bc the official app is absolute trash. Liftoff has been a decent replacement so far but I really wish the boost Dev would hurry up with releasing their Lemmy app!

Other than that yeah, I’ve spent much more time outdoors. Even before the API announcement I’d replaced reddit with writing bc I mostly made lengthy comments anyway. Writing skills are pretty solid now& I think I’ve put in at least, oh shit I write about 3 hours most days and it’s been a few years of writing, I’ve written around a thousand+ hours just in the past year or so! Very happy about that bc I enjoy it. Tbh if I’d scrolled Reddit mindlessly all that time well damn, I wouldn’t have learned anything but a few random facts. Wouldn’t have gotten better at anything except commenting… sheesh. I like Lemmy and support it but think we should all probably reduce our online time a bit, bc as much as I love it, we really could be doing more with our lives and mindlessly scrolling the web is almost always just wasted time. Can’t think of anything I’ve ever done online that’s actually bettered my life in anyway, much less bettered myself. Enrolling in classes and learning? Sure. Scrolling mindlessly? No… it’s not good for us.

Yep, they killed boost, I quit.

On the bright side I like it here and don’t feel ashamed of myself for supporting assholes every time I log in
