Every time I use that button at the top right in an attempt to change between Active/Hot/etc the app crashes.

I've not been able to cast Twitch for a while now and today I started getting ads again. I don't know if Twitch is suddenly suffering from the same issue as YouTube with the lack of MicroG support but got the longest time I could still cast? Just curious if I'm the only one.

I know we're all anxious for Sync for Lemmy. I also know there's a lot that goes into getting Sync ready as it transitions from Reddit to Lemmy. It isn't a process many of us are all that familiar with or... well, let's face it, we wouldn't have a community waiting impatiently for our app.

The beloved ljdawson has always provided, not only a feature rich and completely customizable experience, but a sturdy and dependable app, free of most of the bugs and issues many of the others couldn't. Link handling, sharing options, mod tools... we had the luxury of taking for granted. Luxuries that the list of fledgling Lemmy apps can't begin to offer because of the reason why I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy, and that's the primary reason we all should be happy to...

I'm currently using my mobile browser to access Lemmy. Every app, from the official Jerboa to Connect to Thunder and Wefwef and many others in between, have their strengths and weaknesses, individually, but one trait they all share: the bugs in communication with the Lemmy platform as it develops ahead of them. It feels like their developers are so anxious to push their app that that don't, and due to its ever-developing nature, CAN'T address some of the disconnects that make their app unpleasant to use and this is exactly why, as much as I am missing an app that delivers my fix for content, I am willing to wait for Sync. LJD has, in the past, proven that a dependable experience is an important feature of his app and if a little more time is required to deliver that? I'm happy to give it to him. Because what use is a Sync-like UI if many functions slide an error message from the bottom with little more than some html as explanation? Or an attempt to submit a post doesn't even offer somewhere to input the link to your content? Or the myriad of other standards Sync so graciously allowed us to become accustomed to?

I don't write articles for some tech site, so this was probably long winded and mostly unnecessary but I felt like, maybe, some others are stuck between checking for the email to finally get a solid Lemmy app daily and being completely willing to give as much time as needed for an experience that isn't so... exhausting. It's a tough spot to be in, especially if you share the opinion that a solid Lemmy app will really make this whole thing happen. For now, this is the only place we can be, so whether we like it or not, patience in the appreciation that a little extra time may do a LOT more good than just satisfying our individual content addictions is the side I'd recommend we all remain on. LJD, thanks for what you're doing, take all the time you need...

Many Fold Owners have responded to my posts about the Feathers Live Wallpapers, showcased at the release event, and why ours are static. I found a response to this and it looks like they will come with Android 14.

“Thank you for contacting Google! I got an update from the >team on your issue. Live wallpaper is not yet available for the >Pixel Fold, but we aim to make it available in a future update >soon.”

Hope this helps!

Just an idea since there isn't one yet. Obviously hoping this leads to some comments with customized ideas & discussion.
