  • I started out using Boost For Lemmy, but have been using Interstellar for the last 4 months, because it supports Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin accounts.

    Also, a recent feature, which I really like - When I go into the comment section of a post, I’ll see comments from across multiple communities, even ones I’m not a part of. Makes the fediverse feel more alive. It’s not just from cross-posts either afaict, and it’s not always perfect (Sometimes you’ll get a few comments on a post that are not related to it at all). But even then it’s still cool for discoverability of different communities!

    Anyway, I thought I’d never leave Boost, but I’m Interstellar all the way for now and in the foreseeable future. Free and open-source, and apparently available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, although I only use it on Android.


  • The answer is in the article:

    As I mentioned in my post about the apps I kept when switching to GrapheneOS, self- hosting PinePods and using AntennaPod on your phone is a great option! That way you can still have web and desktop sync. I also said in that post:

    If I wasn’t grandfathered into the free premium tier I would be more tempted to jump ship.

    The time to jump ship seems to be getting closer. I think Pocket Casts will join a future version of my apps that I got rid of when switching to GrapheneOS post.



  • I’ll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.



  • I would recommend https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for reaching out directly to your country’s representatives.

    I used it today to make a template, that I could then edit to fit my writing style, and send from my own email provider really easily, because the site also let’s you copy the email addresses of your representatives in one click.
    But the site will also let you send a pre-made message with no effort really needed from you. I just had some time and energy today, so went the extra mile.

    I also really like how it tracks the stance of your representative, and you can read their response to the issue. Most of my country’s representatives are currently on vacation, but I did get an answer back from one of them, which was pretty cool (Very informally written, with an included “Sent from my iPhone” signature, hahaha).
