Glad to be here! My Reddit usage goes down by the day. If/when my patched Boost stops working, I'll probably just give it up for good.

โจ This means software you are free to modify and distribute, such as applications licensed under the GNU General Public License, BSD license, MIT license, Apache license, etc. and software that isn't designed to restrict you in any way.

Your post must be related to the Android operating system.
๐ Mention Source License
When promoting applications, please mention the source license (GPL, MIT, etc.).
โจ๏ธ Link Source Code first
This again is about promoting applications. Please include a link to the source code of the application at the top. If the application is hosted on F-Droid, a single link to the F-Droid page is OK, as it includes all relevant information.

Please refrain from posting memes in this community.

MODERATORS
Hello everyone and a
HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1000+ FOLLOWERS on /c/fossdroid!
It's great to see that this community and this instance see some actual usage! That makes me happy. ๐
Thank you for all the really nice, civil and constructive conversations we had on here so far and let's hope that our community will continue to grow steadily!
We'll soon push Lemmy in the Automoderator messages, the banner and the description on Reddit, so we'll be able to lure more people here, hopefully. If you want to help, just spread the word!
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you and have a great one!
Edit: Yes, I'm aware I just violated my own "no memes" rule. ๐คฃ
โ๏ธ
Glad to hear that! Welcome to the Fediverse!
Thank you!
Lemmy is where it's at
Agreed!
What's Foss?
FOSS is free and open source software that's not supposed to restrict you in any way. You can change it, modify it, redistribute it, etc.
Free open source software/services now.
I think, that's kinda redundant. This instance is a service, yes. It runs on FOSS. So...
You must have never liked the phrase software as a service then.

Love that no one here says something like "a search on Google would have saved you the question" or something condesecending like this. Just a friendly answer.
Thank you!
I like it here. Keep the spirit alive!
The discussions here are better here. I haven't have any knowitall or edgelord nonsense.
... what? But I am here. ๐
