I’m an owner of both a Pebble Time and a Pebble Time Steel. I’ve also owned a Pebble 2 HR. Honestly for how cheap you can find Pebbles (got my Steel for $20) and their long battery life (my Steel lasts a week or more on a charge, maybe double that if it’s on airplane mode), they’re great! If you decide to use Rebble and pay the $3 a month, you can even use the dictation feature and respond to notifications with your voice! They also work perfectly with GadgetBridge.
I also used to think smartwatches were a gimmick, and tbh after owning a couple I know for sure they are, 10x so for mainstream watches like WearOS or the Apple Watch. Being able to catch your notifications on your arm and responding to them is pretty convenient, but the excitement goes away after a while. Or maybe I’ve just lost interest. I don’t even bother looking at my steps, sleep, or setting up my watch to be able to ping my phone anymore. But I’ve gotten so used to the darn thing that I’ll never stop loving it.
There was someone who participated in FOSDEM a couple of years ago and presented an open-source push notification server for Android that they were working on, but seems like the project has become stagnant. If I remember correctly, they wanted to combine it with MicroG somehow as an easy way to take push data from apps.
Here’s Drew Devault’s script and Meff’s scripts that mirror Hacker News to Gemini. Maybe it’s possible to use these as a base for creating a Lemmy mirroring service.
You can learn about Spaces in this video.
On the Lemmur app, you can go to the search tab and search for the community name and it looks like it should appear. For example, if you search “afrihili” in the search tab, the first result under “Communities” should be the Afrihili community from https://baraza.africa. You can push it then subscribe from there.
You only need the !community@instance.tld format when searching through the Lemmy website.
NewPipe is primarily an open-source Youtube client (and possibly the greatest Youtube client), but it also supports Soundcloud, PeerTube, and media.ccc.de
I’m fairly certain that Spaces DO have the ability to share users and privileges, they just don’t have to and can instead function as just a personal hierarchical list as shown in the demo. At first I thought Spaces would function exactly the same as Discord servers and rooms, but now I see that they’re way more powerful!

Are you expecting a community about China to be dedicated to shit-talking China or something? This isn’t Reddit. People sent you some great links in the comments of that last post. I suggest you unlearn everything you think you know about China, read the links, and learn about China from a non-Western perspective.
You can find an archive of it here - Archive link. Admittedly there’s not much info on this operating system, but it was an interesting piece of history, nonetheless…
Someone here on Lemmy linked to this instance and while I was browsing it I found this funny animation about copying. What are people’s thoughts when it comes to this topic?..
This functionality will break has broken NewPipe’s, FreeTube’s, Invidious’s, and youtube-dl’s ability to watch or download age-restricted videos…
Unrelated but I’m making this post on Lemmur just to test out if posting works on it. Fingers crossed 🤞…
Edit: the nose looks nicer with quotation marks instead of the underscores on top …
I found this person’s gemlog while browsing random Gemini sites and they had an interesting take on the whole digital minimalism movement. Essentially, their point is that you shouldn’t just be aiming to blindly reduce all your screen time, but instead make sure the things you use your screen time o…
