For me, I can see 7 chats on signal, 9 chats on WhatsApp. There are tons of wasted space on signal for me. It just looks bad to my eyes.

The thing I hate about signal is the UI. Everything looks way too big on my device. WhatsApp, for example, holds 2 more chats, and the messages themselves are tidier.

This may seem like it's not a big deal, but UI is absolutely crucial on order to get people to actually use the app. I moved a few people to signal but they just hated the way it looks. "seems like an app for old people, font too big". I can see that. They moved back to insta/WhatsApp.

I think some small and easy UI changes could make the app much better: just give us a "compact" mode.

I use macrodroid instead, though I have also paid for Tasker.

I just find macrodroid much easier to use. I learned to use Tasker, then was not using it for a few months, went back to it to implement something and god damm, what a horrible UI. I had forgotten how to use it. Decided to try macrodroid and it is just so beautiful and easy..

I am currently using authy. I would like an open source alternative, of course, but seeing how important 2fa is, I require proper sync/backups, like authy has. I don't want to manage them myself with google drive or the likes, as I don't even have a google acc.

What do you guys use this for?

Which are you using now?

How does it do multilingual typing? You have to change the input method, right?

Ohhh. Logic reasoning is extremely low indeed! I see so many fallacies there, it's crazy.

I did not know NewPipe was unmaintained. I switched to Tubular. Thank you for the post!

Why is this better than NewPipe? I much prefer apps that focus on 1 thing and dont support 20 additional services.

Does this vpn trick really work? I tried it on some other things and it never worked. It takes the location from the credit card.

 

I am looking for climate related YouTube channels. Suggest me some please.

 

I currently use Swiftly Switch. It is an app that adds a small bar to the side of the device and by swiping that part, I am shown a list of apps of my choosing. This allows me to open apps much faster.

Sadly, it is not open source. Is there something similar but open source?

Community links are not working in Boost, are they?

!solarpunk@slrpnk.net should be a workable link, that is, if you click on it, it should redirect you to that community. It does not..

Also, on boost, is it possible to have Autocomplete for usernames/communities as one has in the web/desktop version of lemmy?
