Swiping on icons or folders to open another app!

And do some comments / recap. I find annoying people just posting link without saying anything. IMHO lemmy is about people opinion not just sharing link.
If you want news links then rss reader, Google news, Flipboard or whatever are what should be used.

Not to say OP didn't do a good work. But Lemmy is better when you are not ending just clicking link to read articles.
So a suggestion would be at minimal to add an AI recap as post comment.

Can't you disable it in settings? On android there is an option to toggle off sponsored shortcuts.
I agree they shouldn't force it on but at least with minimal effort and if it's really annoying it's easy to disable.

Streaming services should be required to provide free access where they are allowed to put ads at the beginning and only once or twice depending length and not cutting a scene. And maybe free access could be limited to a number of episodes.

Anyway my point is be real, some people won't pay because they can't or because you don't want to subscribe to 10 streaming sites. Especially when sometimes there is only one anime, tv shows you are interested in. So real solutions should be found if companies really wants to fight piracy...

For Tv shows piracy has never been so low as when Netflix had reasonable price and was the only one. It offered a real alternative and people where willing to pay for it.
I also believe crunchyroll do a lot of good as it has a quasi monopoly but it's starting to erode with Netflix and Disney starting to get animes. 😕

True, I feel boost is really lacking in displaying correctly markdown. Spoilers not being hidden are really annoying.
For reference this post highlights Lemmy apps on how accurately they display markdown. And this comment use all markdown to test how your current app is rendering them.

Agree. If it was a perfect world then governments would fund and contribute to open source project to make sure there are good free solution to keep your data private (at least from being collected and sold to some random companies) and make sure they won't go down.
Sadly I don't think it's really happening...

I think you are experiencing the same bug as this one : https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity/issues/236
It has been fixed in nightly.

I would say VueTorrent has more features. Yet on Android as it's not an app you can't make it open magnet links or torrents when tapping / downloading one.
That would be great to have it as an app or to be able to turn it into a pwa.

+1 that's what I do at home with my desktop and what is IMHO the best solution.
Yet on vacation I use an old android box with Android Tv (SlimTv) and I have to say it's nice to have a dedicated interface allowing use of a remote.

IMHO I am not an expert but Mullvad seems the best (from what I read from others) and I would stick with it. I am using it and happy with it. I also appreciate that their monthly price do not change depending on how many months you subscribe and that there is no bullshit discount for the first x months.
You could also look at Proton VPN if you need port forwarding.

About SurfShark don't have much opinion !

I don't understand the down votes
=> I always read up and down votes as a tool to flag valuable posts. It feels like down vote on this one is about agreement with the news?

 

Communities in left drawer are alphabetically sorted by default. Yet the sort is based on names and not on displayed names. Is there some option that I didn't found to change it? Or could it be fixed or added as an option?
I know I could sort manually but it's not ideal when adding new communities.

For instance [email protected] use "Anime episode discussions" as display name. When I search for my anime subscribed communities I often forget it as the sort looks like it's wrong with what boost display as community name. 😕

 

For those interested in public torrent usage. No surprise, after RARBG closed it's traffic has been mostly transfered to Torrent Galaxy.
