Hello everyone,
!askandroid@lemdro.id was initially created to avoid getting !android@lemdro.id to get overwhelmed.
Last week, !askandroid@lemdro.id has 4 users, so it seems like activity pretty much halted.
Should we close it and redirect to !android@lemdro.id to consolidate activity?
I’m alright with this personally. I don’t like support posts, but as long as they’re tagged who cares. I can just filter that out on my end
Yeah I’m down for that tbf. Ngl I have become disillusioned with posting news about Android for the last few months. Because if it’s not Mishaal Rahman, the rest of the news feels cynical and apathetic.
Android is pretty boring nowadays it seems. Custom ROMs is mostly LineageOS and GrapheneOS. Manufacturers don’t innovate anymore. Phones are losing features.
Honestly, I’m okay with Android being stable. My issues with the removal, hardware features and just the stagnating updates from Samsung. When compared to their Chinese counterparts where they upgrade nearly everything.
My only experience is with a Xiaomi 11T, HyperOS is quite a pain to use. Not allowing gesture function for third party launchers is kind of crazy.
Are the other Chinese phones Android versions better in that regard?
I prefer the merge as it will drive up engagement. Maybe with a temporary rule like to see what’s going on, because if it becomes like on Reddit where 100 users every day ask the same simple question 100 times, it becomes annoying
Are there a lot of questions here that get removed?
One per month more or less: https://lemmy.zip/modlog/8087
So not anywhere near overwhelming, then.
I’m in favor, as activity on !askandroid@lemdro.id and even !android@lemdro.id to an extend is quite low
Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me
I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation
Help vampires while I like to try and help, there’s too many of you 🙈
Maybe keep askandroid in reserve for when that time arrives
