Loved bitwarden but switched to 1Password recently because their UI is so much nicer. ik, weird reason.

also because it was free with GitHub Student.



Update on the post This post was not made by the mods of @android@[email protected]. This was made by a fellow fan of r/Android and was not made to siphon/steal users as I and many others have incorrectly assumed, so please don’t attack the mods of @android@[email protected] as they don’t mean any harm!


Thank you for clarifying and for the consideration, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out.

Regarding my response earlier, I made that reply on the assumption that it were you guys who put this up as a way to take some users back, which taking a step back now, I see that I was very wrong.

I’ll be making a new mod reply to this post, which should clarify any misunderstandings to prevent new people viewing this post from accidentally making the same assumption I have made.

If you need to contact me, shoot me a DM and I can share my Telegram details there :)


Let me explain my reply.

From my POV, OP’s post initially came across as advertisement, but targeted. Imagine that this community is an Apple store. To me this post seemed as if Samsung or Google had put up an ad directly in the middle of the store, trying to take back some customers.

It was my mistake to assume that OP posting was one of the mods.

I’m 100% ok with both communities co-existing, after all, the more content there is, the more likely the Fediverse will succeed. The only reason I was annoyed at first, was because of an advertisement for a similar community that came out of nowhere, with no notice/warning whatsoever, which in hindsight is completely understandable as this post wasn’t at all made by the mods over at [email protected].

Tl;dr I just wasn’t comfortable with how the advertisement just appeared, as it seemed like a direct attack to steal people, but I was most definitely wrong with my assumptions. My reply was made solely on the assumption that the mods of [email protected] had posted this, and for that I am sorry.


In respect to you guys modding the original r/Android, I will leave this up, unlocked. But please, don’t make any more new posts here advertising r/Android V2.

Let the games begin I guess.

Edit: Please read this.


Google shouldn’t be trying to push Chat as a WhatsApp and teams competitor. It’s hard enough getting people to adopt the normal Google Messages app.


No, we aren’t the same. Interestingly enough they have just created a new Lemmy community, but seeing as this already has a few thousand users, unless everyone from r/Android joins that one, this will become the new default Android community.

Edit: Turns out they’ve made a completely new instance! Check it out at lemdro.id!


Due to a bug in reposted comments about Summit, I will be locking this thread to prevent further issues.

Feel free to make a new thread about Lemmy apps!


This thread has been locked as it is a duplicate of another post.

ah that makes sense, personally I like the icons and animation flair of Moshidon so I’m gonna stay 😁




notifications, and also that it doesn’t show up in the app drawer on android (I only keep 5 icons on my homescreen in my setup)


personally it’s more convenient if there’s a mobile app, so I’m using Liftoff right now, until Sync, Artemis or Boost release 😀


this started a few weeks ago for me and never ended, really annoyed that the material you colour is gone 😐



currently Dragonvale, because I like collecting things

same with Pokemon Go 💀


this is great! gonna pin this :)


this is in [email protected]

and no comments shouldn’t be cross posted


Sync for Lemmy signup is now open!

nice to see the security update change, but damn those 2 years of OS updates suck 🤦‍♂️




way more active and less random spam imo, seems more interesting than actual r/android lol



just putting it out there: giving them a cheap android phone will steer them away from android forever as they will be conditioned to think that all android are as cheap and terrible as the ones they have been given


Flag as Inappropriate on the app store and review it 1 star or 2 star to avoid mass deletions due to brigading


sidenote: what is the purpose of the target SDK? why do both minimum and target SDKs have to exist?




personally i quite like it, but the quick settings menu is the one thing I don’t quite like. with the Material You redesign, one handed use is improved as the app starts with more elements closer to your actual hand.


  1. File management is noice, the ability to plug in a USB C usb is very clutch.
  2. I swear a lot more apps on iOS are subscription based than on Android.
  3. A lot more open source apps.
  4. Modded apps.
  5. I can easily connect my phone to my laptop and copy actual files.
  6. Sideloading.
  7. Choice.

you should consider Aegis for 2FA, you can export all your keys to a file (encrypt able) that you can store on a USB!


Whilst Google announced a ton of AI powered features for Android 14 at Google I/O, it seems like most of them will be Pixel exclusive... Hoping Samsung does more with OneUI 6 since Google's really pushing for Pixel exclusivity on Android now 🙄

i use vivaldi and it covers all the bases (and a lot more, heck it even has its own Mastodon server)
