Wefwef is my top choice right now and Connect is my second favorite.

I am fine with the capitalized logotype, but I think the that the icon shading hurts its legibility at smaller sizes.
This is one of my most wanted features, too. It is especially needed on the fediverse, because there are so many duplicate communities from different servers. It would be really nice to be able to unify those fragmented communities into one feed.
It seems that the developers of Lemmy are hard at work trying to improve the product. The huge increase in users and traffic has shown some of its weak points under load. I think they are focusing on scalability and performance issues right now, so it might take some time to get to new user-facing features.
About two weeks ago they posted this: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-06-17_-_Update_from_Lemmy_after_the_Reddit_blackout
...which sort of touches on their progress and on improvements.
It is significant and you will understand when you see the movie.
I loved it!

The fact that the sets were supposed to be fictitious/play-sets gave him an excuse to push his style into an almost cartoonish extreme. I enjoyed the nested levels of storytelling. There was a lot of humor, some of which was more outright than in his previous films. There was still plenty of more subtle and dry humor too. The eye candy was taken to new extremes with hyper-saturated colors. The framing/compositions, transitions, etc were delightful as always. I think the story was quite strong with a good and clever ending.
Some fun things I noticed: When the cowboy dude walks there are spur noises, even though he had no spurs. In many of the black and white shots, the characters eyes have a subtle red tint, I suppose to draw your eyes into their faces.
Did anyone else think the space alien looked like Salad Fingers (a reference for the OG Newgrounds crowd). https://imgur.com/a/mJNPDCR
I'm seeing it tonight and looking forward to it. I usually enjoy Wes Anderson, but I realize that it isn't for everyone. Personally, I really enjoy the careful framing of all the shots, the colorful scenes, quirky tone and dry humor.
That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that ruined their ecosystem.
I agree that is isn't really necessary for mot people, but I do know quite a few people who use it because they know they know the phone will be safe. My partner uses her phone in the pool all the time. I'm often dripping wet after coming in from surfing, even after drying off with a towel. It is nice to be able to check my phone without worrying I'm going to mess it up.
I'm not saying it is a feature every phone needs, but it is something that some people use. I'm all for replaceable batteries and would like to see them more available. They will improve the longevity of devices as long as they aren't damaged in other ways.
I do miss being able to swap out a phone battery and this will certainly be a step in the right direction in terms ewaste and device longevity.
One thing that I wonder about is waterproofing or water resistance. Some phones are basically waterproof in shallow water. How achievable is this with a device with a trivial way to remove the battery?
Thanks! This is the exact script that I was hoping to find!

Yeah, I do agree that it feels a little out of place on Android, but currently I have been using it because it still feels polished and I haven't had many bugs with it. Lemmy clients in general are in their early days and many are quite rough around the edges. I've had a lot of bugs with most of them.
Connect for Lemmy has a Material You style to it and feels like at home on Android. It uses your current Material color scheme and feels a bit similar to Sync for Reddit.
