My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣
Edit: in essence it search works for searching for a community, but not an instance as a whole; I couldn’t just search wefwef.app for mander.xyz and see all of its communities listed, but I can search for a community from it and it will come up
This will show you the posts from mander.xyz as if you’re on that instance
Though I think these will leave not signed into your lemmy.world account, so I guess find the communities you like the look of and search it from your normal wefwef.app instance
It’s not only bloat. From what I remember I think it’s also swap space, probably also some space for caching and some other things. E.g. I have 42GB of system space out of 256 on my Galaxy S21, and it’s definitely not all bloat apps.
Currently using wefwef and Memmy to browse lemmy via mobile. Wefwef feels closest to Apollo but Memmy has a better interface.
Also subbed to Winston on Reddit, the dev is actively responding to suggestions and aiming to release an app as close as possible like Apollo for browsing reddit. Then of course there’s also Narwhal.
I can’t speak for Apollo but I used RIF and old.Reddit
I work with a bunch of techies with various opinions on this; he said I like “an app that looks like it was from 10 years ago”, which was meant to be an insult, but I think is actually the point: it was text-first, list view, “get out of your way” to enjoy the content.
I don’t like advertising pretending to be content.
I don’t like the integrations that pushed paid crap like their version of Bitcoin.
And I am here because even though Reddit is still active, it’s clear that the ship is being sailed solely by momentum at this point and the company is, well, only going up be able to do so much until they can’t pay what little staff they have. The way the mods and app developers were treated this month was the lowest of the low and sealed my decision.
I urge everyone to support a community you like by posting interesting topics and commenting, and the rest will follow. Don’t just wait for people to do it.
I have a Samsung a53 5G, and the system storage on my phone is 26.34 GB. I didn’t even realize until I just now looked that it was taking up that much space.
Initially I was going to lodge a complaint. I’m in two minds after a few days stewing on it, on the one hand I sympathise with anyone in the situation you describe. OTOH, they’re clearly not doing their job properly and potentially cost me £105. All they had to do was put it back in their trolley, and whatever process is required to lodge it back at the depot. Though perhaps management has made that process fiddly and they CBA.
Despite what I said, you should 100% make a claim. You’ve lost out. It may or may not be the postie’s fault, but you don’t deserve to be out of pocket.
I just got home, went round to ask if neighbour has it. He sent his son to the door who said his dad is in a ‘meeting’. I explained situation, he said he’d pass it on… he hasn’t come round so either has it and isn’t giving it back, or doesn’t have it.
ASOS actually emailed me today to check the situation, and offered me a replacement w/ express shipping or a full refund, which imo is excellent customer service considering it’s (mostly) not their fault. I appreciate that bigtime, sometimes it feels you have to really battle nowadays to get a resolution to something like this.

I think the thing to take away from this is the poor state of management/maintenance tools that Exchange had. Thankfully over the years this has improved, but in those early years it was pretty bad.
I was using both Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino in that period. If the same thing had happened in Notes, we’d just shut down the mail router task, open the mail.box database and remove the offending message. Easy. But that can only be done because Notes re-used its database system for everything, including the mail queue.
Exchange has a history of reinventing the wheel even within its own architecture. Let’s just say I’mm very grateful that we’re now on Microsoft 365 and these things are Microsoft’s problem, not mine… 😉
Or check if your current phone is supported by any open source Rom.
In any case you will most likely have a lot less apps since you would have only access to non google play services apps. There is a fairly decent choice of apps on F-Droid but your experience will remain limited.
Third-party apps are being shutdown for the simple reason of there is less profit in them existing. Most third-party apps block ads and paid promotions cutting into revenue of the platform. As platforms grow and there is more ad views to be had they’ll inevitably come for the third-party apps. Cherish the ones you still have.
It strongly depends on what kind of person you are and how you get your enjoyment out of things. If you understand this, then you can find games that fulfill that.
For example, some people get a dopamine hit when they see numbers go up. Be it level grinding, kill/death ratio, optimize builds. Others like the feeling of exploration. Others want immersion/role-play.
It has nothing to do with "today games bad". Part of that is childhood and nostalgia. You won't get that back.
Figure out what you enjoy. If you like social games and making friends, then you need to lean towards that style of game. RuneScape 2007 is still very much alive today.
