Return policies suck at where I live so that's not really an option for me. What pixel model have you been using and how is the battery life?

Tbh there's some festival around the corner during which the prices are meant to be at the lowest but right before it Samsung came up with this pooper FE and ruined my plans, else S23 was meant to go at the price that FE would be sold at as they'd deliberately not slash its price much now cuz that might hamper the sales of FE.

Yup that's what I've also been thinking. I just have to upgrade because my current phone doesn't support 5g and a Black Friday like festival sale is around the corner at where I live. Had made up my mind to buy S23 but they didn't slash prices enough this year because of the launch of FE, which is a big turn off.

 

Is exynos 2200 that big of a dealbreaker? I'm also open to buying pixel series phones.

I mean its search is limited to finding communities and we can't really search for posts, users or comments using keywords. Sadly, among FOSS apps only eternity has a decent search functionality but it's still under development and lil buggy. Liftoff does categorize searches but doesn't have the functionality of searching within communities. So far only Boost, Sync and Connect seem to have it and none of them is open source.

Jerboa doesn't have proper search functionality.

Haha that'd be for a good cause.

Ty it works. Hope reddit doesn't ban me for doing this.

[–] sr2751 9 points 1 year ago

Yup because a lot of people that joined after reddit api changes have left it and not many people are joining lately, so the instance owners have built the capacity to handle the active users.

Wdym by beinga mod? I know about spoofing with revanced but it looked complicated so didn't try.

[–] sr2751 1 points 1 year ago

Ah sounds interesting. Ty.

I'll check it out. Ty.

That's what I had thought but there are some niche things I'm into and most other people who are into the same, neither have the time nor do they wanna put any efforts into learning something new, heck many wouldn't even know that lemmy exists or there were other clients you could use to access reddit. So I'll have to stick with it.

Also this whole fediverse and instances thing is a bit too complex to wrap head around for people who aren't geeky and just wanna get things done.

I tried all the clients that are out there and no matter good they felt alien as I was accustomed to using Boost on Reddit. Now that the lemmy client has come, it's like I'm using reddit now. The only thing that bugs me is most communities didn't move from reddit and I'd have to continue using the official shitty app to engage with them.

Also I wanna know whether this one time payment would be all to access all the features or does the dev intend to go the sync route and offer something like ultra tier?
