If you don't want to spend on a Pixel for GrapheneOS, have you considered CalyxOS or LineageOS? CalyxOS only supports a few devices outside of the Pixel range, while LineageOS covers a broader range.

I can't vouch for them personally, as I haven't used them, but I've heard good things about them.

I made the switch to GrapheneOS about 2 weeks ago and used this website for reference.

Although I couldn't find my bank in the list, I found it worked fine anyway after install.

Sure, for a server as large and accessible as LW, Discord is a super useful, accessible platform. However, the Discord server should not be the only place that such an update is posted.

Realistically, you can't expect much of the LW userbase to see and engage with an announcement in a Discord server, compared to a post on lemmyworld@lemmy.world.

Made the switch from lemmy.world the other day due to this. Not necessarily because of who they defederated/blocked, but because this happens with little/no consultation or communication with the user base. The frequency of it became frustrating; who knows what other community/instance will be blocked on a whim next?

I appreciate that the LW admins do this as a hobby in their free time, but things like this could be approached in a better way, or at the very least with better communication. I found out about this via a post in /c/mildlyinfuriating, which in itself was mildly infuriating lol.

Migrated to this instance, and I can choose via Connect which instances or communities I want to see. Should have done this sooner.

 

Hi there,

I am in the process of migrating instances. I have been trying to add a bio and avatar to my profile, but when I press 'Save' at the bottom of my profile settings, I don't see any changes on my profile page.

I have tried this on both instances' profiles, and on desktop and mobile. I don't know if this is an error or perhaps I'm overlooking a necessary step.

Has anybody else encountered this? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit (SOLVED): Changes seemed to push through when I removed the link to my old profile from my bio. Either profiles don't support links, or I hit a character limit. Still not quite sure.
