This is indeed my main reason for a switch, so thanks for the recommendations! I really want to try a Linux phone when it’s ready with either phosh or gnome shell mobile (I love libadwaita), but it’s just not there yet for me.
That’s not all, as I currently use an iPhone I can tell you firsthand those are the least of your issues. When in a group chat with android users IOS users can’t add or remove people to or from the chat, iOS users don’t get any of the apple specific features like unsending, thread reply’s, reactions, even embedding things like links doesn’t work. The adding/removing people is the biggest issue however.
iMessage is absolutely an issue, and I don’t think I will overcome it if I make the switch because of how integral it is to my family. I’ve heard of software I can run on a Mac that forwards to my phone. I have an old Mac so does such software still exist and work?
The cultural attachment you speak of is what concerns me the most. I as a person am lucky enough to have a strong enough presence that I could get away with going against the flow, but it would significantly hurt my ability to socially network.
On the note of iCloud, I’m considering buying a Mac mini and putting asahi on it (not because apple because it’s got that sweet M2) and running a nextcloud server.
I’m quite excited to give it a go, might even try some things like lineageOS or /e/os out!
I’ve just taken a look at this app and it’s the best lemmy app I’ve tried even with only the basics. The curated feed had me so excited before I got the pop up that it wasn’t yet implemented, I’m really excited for that. Additionally the photo viewer is something I absolutely love. I can’t wait for more to be finished, this already seems amazing! The one feature I didn’t even see a placeholder for that I may want though is other app icons. The color scheme is somewhat out of place on my phone. Minor annoyance as this is just so much better than anything else everywhere else.
Sure but does one have a better looking theme/icon to you? Is one more buggy than the other? Does one implement iOS photos ai stuff? Does one have cool backgrounds? Does one run faster? Does it support all lemmy settings? These don’t change the layout but may factor into which app you choose.
TikTok is very bad!
How well does it work from Mac? I have a couple so I can use that as a workaround. I have my whole house set up with HomeKit, so I would need to transfer all the devices to something google or preferably a non-corporate home system. Additionally I use apple family and find my etc for location sharing with friends and family, would there be some way I can replace this that you know of?
These I did forget to mention in my orginal post which I will edit (if I can edit on lemmy).
