dmention7, in People who have those talking buttons for their pet, how long did it take for them to catch on, and do they really work?

I must be an idiot. When I read the title, I first thought it was a non-native English speaker asking about people who had Tamagotchis back in the day…

As in… a talking button you keep for a pet, not a button FOR your pet to use.

🙃

chriscrutch,

Ha! That’s pretty funny. I remember those things.

zacher_glachl, in How do you spend your idle time?

While commuting, I mostly read ebooks, listen to fiction audiobooks or long-form history/pop science podcasts/youtube videos. Depending also on whether I am driving that day or taking the subway. Breaks at work, I just chat with colleagues, and scroll lemmy or the birdsite on toilet breaks.

For android definitely moshidon! Stable version is material you and has a bunch of themes and extra features. Nightly version is updated frequently. Completely free and donation funded, it’s the gold standard for mastodon apps imo

Podcasts and audiobooks.

And I don’t get hung up on those being “better” than YouTube videos. There are educational videos and there is enjoyable fluff and there is actively crap content (think stuff that makes you go into negativity spirals).

Educational YT is the same as educational podcasts or audiobooks, imo.

I’m not on Mastodon often, but Tusker has been adequate for me on IOS. I heard you can even use it for Pixelfed.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are your favorite names?

Some new twists on old names really captivate me, e.g. I met someone a while ago named Ianiel

Listen to music. It’s something you can enjoy without using your eyes, so you can rest them especially if you work in front of a screen all day.

Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it’s FOSS.

Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.

I use connect, used only jerboa so far so can’t say much

serpineslair,

Same situation for me. Connect seems to be good enough for my liking, I just dislike the upvoting icons/location.

olafurp,

Yeah, I tried boost recently since I used it for reddit but I didn’t see any way to browse instance in local mode. I’m still optimistic about making the switch soon.

serpineslair,

Not even a day later, and I’ve switched to Eternity, because connects GUI was pretty ugly and upvotes/downvotes weren’t saving/sticking. Haha. Loving it so far and the GUI is much nicer in my opinion.

olafurp,

Due for an install looks like

Mona for iOS is a dream.

I recently switched to Eternity and I’m loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven’t run into any issues or anything to dislike.

I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don’t believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I’m gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don’t really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.

Audiobooks

Stream tv on my phone. I used to watch Crunchyroll (anime streaming service) on the train.

Just what I’m doing right now. Not much else to do.
