Best Lemmy client for Android?
I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?
Why is “Now I Am Become Death” phrased so awkwardly in English?

Does this place really have 12k subscribers and no posts in 4 days?
Bad news everyone! Nobody is posting and I’m not getting my daily fix of Snu Snu, Mom slaps, Leela eye rolls, and of course opportunities to bite Bender’s shiny metal ass....
Despite the moderation challenges, it's cool to see lemmings defending their fellow community members.
Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?
I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better....
Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?
Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
What are your favourite things under 50$ that make your life a bit easier or more pleasant?
I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!
Internet archive is library of alexandria of our time
I hope this time it wont burn down
Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question.
OpenAI...
Bean shitposts becoming popular across the entire Fediverse in just an hour is a live demonstration of how effective decentralization and federation protocols are.
Seriously though, happy for all the hackermans that get a kick out of them.
YSK: there's a type of common hallucination (often scary) that happens shortly after waking up. You can move and talk while seeing it and it can last between a few seconds up to a minute
It’s called hypnopompic hallucination....
Where are all of the reddit refugees these days?
Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
As badly described as possible, what is your favorite video game?
We should start saying "Thanks /u/spez" from now on as reddits bad practices made us move to lemmy
Title said it all
What's some sex ed info you didn't know until embarrasingly late?
Oh my god I’ve got so many 😭
what is your favorite f-droid app?
What is your must have open source application available on fdroid?...
YSK: You can use Libreddit instead of Reddit for more privacy and no ads (and no traffic/views for Reddit)
The developer wrote a good post on Reddit, which I will mainly quote here:...
If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can
A little extra traffic will go to reddit… but fuck them. They’re taking monetary value away from your account, so ya might as well use the coins you have as you see fit (while you still can). Fuck u/spez and fuck reddit
What's your houses equivalent of a poop knife.
I don’t mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?
A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...
Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it
Think about it. Isn’t light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their “influence at a distance”? We don’t feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we’ve sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.
