It is definitely worth looking at. I am working with mostly blog posts RSS feeds, but this might come useful one of these days, too. Thank you for the suggestion.

Exactly. Otherwise, DecSync would be perfect (and I even used DecSync in the past).

Aha, I haven’t thought about using the same Linux application. This approach might be worth investigating. Thank you for the idea.

My only gripe with RSS is the usual dependency on a synchronization server (whether it is a 3rd party server or self-hosted). I have been searching for way too long for a local-first RSS application for both Linux and Android which would store the RSS feeds (as in, the downloaded posts) in a local folder that could be then synchronized between Linux and Android applications using Syncthing or similar. Sadly, still no results. Anyone know about something?

Librera Reader is the best reader I have had the honour to try. I have been using Librera Reader for several years now, and I think it is safe to say I love the app. It is actively maintained, and new features are added continuously. There are plenty of settings to allow you to modify the user experience exactly to your liking. If you are considering reading any e-books or PDFs on your Android devices, give Librera Reader a try. It is a fantastic app.

K-9 is rebranding as Thunderbird for Android, indeed. But since many users of K-9 expressed their desire to keep the logo and name of K-9, Thunderbird agreed to publish both versions: one rebranded as Thunderbird for Android, and the other keeping its original branding as K-9. We will see whether that will complicate things for Thunderbird team too much yet.

The Venn diagram of “FOSS app users” and “software enthusiasts” is closer to a circle.

Now this is the quote of the week for me 😂 It is mostly accurate, unfortunately, but I cannot stop giggling about it.

Beside concrete suggestions, I would suggest having a look at the applications you use. (Decide whether you actually use and need them first.) Search for the application on AlternativeTo or similar sites and look for a FLOSS alternative there. And also search the internet for general FLOSS replacements for the use-cases of the applications you use. No need to rush anything. Even replacing one application a week is good progress.

Exactly the same happened to me. It just feels so natural. I run basically every single command with the Atuin up key. It is faster then typing it all again and again. Atuin is what the history search in terminal should have always been.

You can revert everything they have changed. Depends on what you want to change, however.

You can redesign toolbars to however you want them to be from View > Toolbars. You can revert to the message list (the main area with messages) by displaying a message list header with View > Layouts > Message list header and opening the Message list display options at the top right of the message list header and selecting the list view.

Similarly, there are toggles for everything else. Just keep clicking until you get the desired look. Try searching on the internet when you do not know where to find some option.

Thank you for the information. I am using Aegis and will not move away from it – I have no reason to. I am completely content with the features it provides. However, I want to look at Authenticator Pro to see how it works, what features it brings and in general, how good the application is. If I like what I see, I will be able to provide an alternative to Aegis when I suggest a TOTP application for someone. I hope Authenticator Pro is great, so I can recommend it with confidence.

I would encourage you to try wefwef, too. If only to complete the collection of Lemmy apps you have experimented with. Mostly because wefwef offers a different UI to all other Lemmy apps, in my opinion. Some might like it, some might not, but it is nice to know what options there are.

But I agree with you. I do not use Liftoff even though I have it installed, but Lemmur was always beautiful and fun to work with in the past. Have fun ;)

Fun fact: When starting Liftoff, you can see an image of a lemmur. That was the original logo of the Lemmur app.

Liftoff is a fork of Lemmur, one of the two oldest Lemmy apps (next to Jerboa). Lemmur was archived some time ago and is now unmaintained. Liftoff was now created as a new fork and updated to the current Lemmy version.

Beside Lemmy 0.18.0 linking primarily to your own instance’s mirror of the community from other instance, there is also a browser addon trying to solve this issue if you ever end up on a wrong instance. (If you do not find the button to redirect to your instance, try refreshing the page.)

I share your opinion on everything you said here.

What about another setting, where you choose your default post language?

And I would welcome this feature especially, too.

I am trying to stay calm, but failing miserably. This is simply amazing. Good job!
