Checkout Toshy. This has been a life saver for me.

Angel and Buffy.

On iOS, Arctic for Lemmy supports push notifications. And Ice Cubes for Mastodon supports push notifications as well.

On Android, I’ve been using Moshidon for Mastodon and Thunder for Lemmy. Both apps support Unified Push (it’s experimental for Thunder, requires a self hosted server as well).

Arctic supports push notifications. The reason why it’s not more common amongst 3rd party apps, is because you in need a dedicated server to enable push notifications. Push notifications are part of the Lemmy roadmap, maybe when that’s released, 3rd party apps can take a advantage of it.

Mlem or Arctic

If you’re technical at all, self host immich. or you and a few friends could get together and set up a pikapods for immich, it’s relatively cheap and I’ve heard great things about pikapods. I know storing photos shouldn’t require technical knowledge, but honestly unless someone you know and trust manages the service, it’s hard to know who can abuse your data. I migrated from google photos to immich myself and the app ecosystem (migration tools, mobile apps, web app) are great and provide much of what google photos provided.

Personally, I can’t wait to inline PHP in my rust code!

Viewing cross posts is probably my favourite feature for 2.0 so far. It’s been a little over a week, and I can’t believe I used Lemmy without it!

Search by post works great 🫡🫶💪

In an Apple community too, no less.

Telegram needs to enable e2ee by default, cause the way it is now, you may as well not have it.

I mean that is a fair point. But open source client only matters if people were using Telegram’s secret chats consistently. The closed source server is what’s most important when almost all communication happens plain text.

You can hide your phone number now with the release of usernames in Signal. Still need it for registration tho.

I suspect that’s because Telegram’s marketing and it’s users consistently try to place Telegram in the same categories as actually secure and encrypted messengers. Whereas I don’t see tech blogs claiming that FB messenger is secure.

Good catch 🫡

Maybe it’s different on Android or Desktop/Web. On iOS it’s more than 2 clicks. And it’s tucked away. It would be surprising to me if the UI is that inconsistent across different platforms. But I can’t know for sure. So I will defer to the subject matter experts on Telegram.

It’s 100% not just two clicks. You make it sound easier than it really is. But there’s no way for a new or infrequent user to know where it is unless they explore a bit or even knew to look for it. It’s hidden away behind a hamburger menu.

In my OP, I was merely referring to how FB Messenger and Telegram functions the same.

Speaking to the protocol used for encryption is a moot point… because even if MTProto 2 was better, it’s still not enabled by default in both messengers.

Right. But it’s also not exactly “easy” which is what you’re saying it is.

If easy was a sliding scale. Easy would be enabled by default. Hard would be making it obscure and hard to find. I would say it’s definitely closer to the harder to find side. But that’s just me. But 3 clicks, and having to switch chats and maybe delete the old one to avoid confusion, none of that is easy.
