Mainly battery limitations (could prevent doze and/or cause a wake lock) and possible increase in server load for instances (your device would have to maintained a persistent connection to lemmy instance).

I like this one a lot more

I kinda wonder if sync for lemmy can use a sort of hybrid aproach. For instance when sync for lemmy is in the forground it uses websockets with the lemmy instance to get push notifications. However once the app is exited (or after a predetermined perioed of time) sync could revert back to polled notifications. This is kinda similar to how lemmy web sends push notificaitons when opened as a tab but doesn't when closed.

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

• caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
• couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

• blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
• Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

Ah in the past I used push from the official reddit app with sync (no delay).

In the case of Lemmy I have use monito rss with Lemmy inbox rss (poll rate every 10 min).

Thanks for the clarification

I confused the Origen from wefwef instead of lift off sry 🫠

Random question how do you upload images on in comments using wefwef (I'm temporarily relying on tasker and imgur).

Hi lj random question regarding sync for reddit. Do you know by any chance when the imgur rapid api key will expire?

What kinda bugs me about youtube premium is that even if you pay you still get ads via baked in sponsors. I know creators have the right to do what they want with there content but I wish as a user there is an economical opiton to truely block ads.

Currently there are two paid models:

1. Nebula like services. I kinda wish more platforms like this would popup since atleast when you use them you truely get no ads (no baked in nor platform injected). While they have a lot of creators a lot of creators are missing from the platform (its mostly education/tech focused).

2. Patreon/Floatplane. Now this is typically the more popular option with creators as it guarantees a reasonably stable cash flow. The problem is as a user if you have to subscribe to multiple patreons for adfree content it can easly get to the cost of a cable bill (assume each creator charges $10 per month if you have 10-20 creators your follow you could be looking at a minimum of $100-$200 a month just to enjoy adfree content).

A kinda caviot is idk how much it costs in time/labor for production of youtube videos for major channels like linus. It could be that services like Nebula/Vessle would never be able to cover production cost hence why a patreon model is used. Even youtube ads if I recall only was able to cover about only one of their employees saleries (a lot but not enough to sustain the company).

I hope this post didn't come of as selfish/greedy.

I switched from ios to android 3 years ago. I searched for apollo replacements and sync popuped up. One thing I found intersting with sync is it was the only 3rd party app (aside from apollo) that had push notifications.

Not sure if your into light novels, recently I've been addicted to Acendence of A Bookworm.
