I’ve played a good bit of FTL and never felt like I knew what I was doing.

I actually noticed recently that it’s no longer maintained so I’ll have to find another desktop solution.

Just report and move on

Mods here may not appreciate this post since it’s pretty off topic, but I’m sure glad to have seen this!

For me at least jerboa isn’t really functional for searching for new communities, let alone instances. You’re better off in your mobile browser. And even then you’ll only find instances that are already federated with your home instance (meaning someone on you home instance will have had to search and subscribe to one of the communities on the instance you’re trying to find). Your best bet for finding instances is actually outside websites like https://join-lemmy.org/instances or other websites dedicated to listing and sorting instances.

Syncthing solves this problem for me without my keyring being exposed to any outside servers.

On desktop I use Tildes. It’s fairly minimalistic in terms of features, but very smooth and attractive UI. It does what I need with no headaches and looks great doing it. Like many others here I use AntennaPod on mobile.

This is fixed on the new version of the app! You can get it on F-droid with the IzzyOnDroid repo, or build it directly with Obtainium

I use Aegis for 2FA and keepassdx for password management. Syncthing keeps everything synced across devices without any effort on my part.

Haha you aren’t alone in using bromite for months without noticing it’s no longer maintained.

+1 for bromite-buildtools https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools

On mobile I use bromite-buildtools maintained by Uazo on github. I’ve read they were involved with bromite when it was still actively maintained and have been continuing to improve it and keep it up to date with chromium upstream. I use Obtainium to keep it updated since it’s not on fdroid or Izzy.

On desktop I keep it simple with FF and ublock
