Hi guys, I'm changing my phone to one with less resources. Part a detox era, kind off. My question is, how convenient is to keep using fedilab and husky as main apps in a less powerful phone. Is that right? Is more convenient to go directly at main pages?

Instead of using and app for each service, you can use their page as webapp, with something like Native Alpha or web browser.

Fedilab supports multiple networks, don't take much to run it.

There are some pros and cons of using native apps or web apps.
Native apps can have some features that webapps don't, like direct/quick share, notifications....

Web apps you only need a web browser that's already included, don't take more space, use less battery for background process, and less permissions.

Thanks for the tip with NativeAlpha. I know very well the difference, but I was thinking in the odds of changing my device for one less powerful and feel it the less possible

Hi, Samsung M11 3GB Ram & 32GB storage user here. I can use tusky just fine, once using fedilab also fine. There is some several ms lag when opening most apps, but it is not noticeable. Unless you go as low as 1GB Ram 8GB storage, most phones can install and run many addictive apps like social media apps or games at the same time.
