If you keep on closing the YouTube app, and clicking on the URL, eventually after 2 or 3 tries the YouTube app won't have an ad it will go straight to the video. Saves a lot of time especially if there's 2 ads.
Problem is they probably want to make Reddit a "cool" and "quirky" place to do everything except what it's supposed to. E.g. RPAN, r/place, Reddit Chat, and surely more to come.
I think it's just the natural progression of things. It will die down probably by mid July after the changes have been made. I'm sure this also happened on reddit after the migration from Digg.
This seems like an entirely different issue. It may be worth looking into to see if there's a bug reported on Android's bugtracker, I'm sure Google is aware of the issue, maybe it will be fixed in Android 14.
You mean after unplugging from your car's Android Auto? I've noticed this behavior before, where I take my phone out of my pocket and it asks me for my PIN and then has to boot into the phone again. It is completely random for me and doesn't seem to be related to Android Auto though.
If it's happening after unplugging from Android Auto consistently it may be related.
The last full session I have is almost 7 hour SoT from 100% to 21%, though that's before I updated to the June update. I can update again when I have the latest SoT.
Yeah, if anything I'm enjoying watching the way this dumpster fire plays out. I'll probably hang on for as long as I can and keep using my Relay Pro app until reddit fizzles away on June 30th, then overwrite all my comments or erase my accounts.
What's happening is for the best. It's better to just accept that reddit is no longer, and that we can foster real communities within Lemmy that can no longer be taken away from us by CEO's with micropeens. Power can now be distributed collectively into the fediverse without the need for advertising or data collection. The future of the internet is in the federated internet 😊
Yeah battery is one of my complaints as well. It can't really handle heavy use, but if you're doing medium amounts of messaging or calling through the day it'll get you from 8 am to 11pm easy, maybe 20% left by then.
Camera on this phone is absolutely god tier though.
I was elated when reddit announced they blocked 3rd party apps, gently but affirmingly guiding me to the ads. It always makes my day better to browse through some targeted ads with my content on the side, like a balanced breakfast meal. The dopamine rush I get from buying plastic objects off of Amazon is just too damn good. Thank god for these changes. Bless you, spez.
Here's my take, I grabbed it from my reddit comment, it's slightly out of context so excuse that:
I do think reddit will continue to function, but its communities and services will undoubtedly begin to change following July 1st as users begin to shift to different platforms like Lemmy, Kbin, and Squabbles.
And don't think that as reddit aims for quarterly growth, they won't try to pull more shit on their users. It's only a matter of time before reddit is an amalgamation of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
RPAN probably failed because either nobody wanted to use their first party app, or were using old.reddit.com. RPAN was their first attempt at reddit trying to "catch the waves" of services like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. The most recent r/place was the second attempt at getting people to use their mobile app.
Expect reddit to keep adding "trend catching" features over the next year or so while you're confined to reddit.com without RES, and reddits mobile app. Unfortunately, reddit will eventually it will be a shell of what reddit once was, and the users that choose to stay will be the ones willing to put up with their shit.
So yes, of course the point is to make money! Though it will almost always be poorly reflected on its users, and they'll go any length to make sure they're doing just enough to keep you here but not enough for you to want to leave. Users will make their decision to stay or leave over the coming months as you see this "enshiftification".
Here's a good article on this, it's very interesting:
That's very tempting, but there's no telling if reddit will raise API pricing going forward, or add more restrictions to 3rd party apps. Their community has gone to shit anyway. Better to just pull the plug entirely and start anew.

Don't threaten me with a good time
Yeah I'm having the same issue. I can't subscribe to communities on other instances
You're quite welcome!

Make sure to submit device logs when you do have issues. Google does monitor these when you send them up!
Go to Settings > About phone > Send feedback about this device (at the bottom)
That's the best way to go about getting these issues resolved. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance!
What about if you're on Kbin moderating a Lemmy community? Is that possible?

It looks like it's about 9% an hour for me currently

Those that stay probably weren't aware of what they were missing out on.
Hoping that those that leave find themselves a cozy place here on Lemmy.
After June 30th Lemmy is still my new home. I won't browse reddit without Relay Pro.
Yeah they are, I still haven't gotten it yet 🙃
