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?

Are there a lot of questions here that get removed?

So not anywhere near overwhelming, then.

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

Keep them separate

Personally, I want them segregated. I answer help posts when I have the power to do so. But, I skip when I don’t want to. Seeing them when I don’t want to would be an energy drain.

Someone mentioned they can be filtered. But, I do not see tags or an easy way to do so. I use Sync for Lemmy and Voyager.
