It just looks like an actual app and not like a tab in your browser(no adress bar for example), plus you can access it quickly that way without having to navigate your browser tabs

Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group)

That feature can’t come soon enough, not only in mobile apps but also on the website itself

Return to it and have my knowledge of all the positive and negative aspects erased would be something I’d consider. But having used all the technology for so long, I couldn’t imagine just don’t having it anymore tomorrow

I had a Sony Xperia Z3 which had its charging port and sim tray covered by small pieces attached to the case that had rubber on them so you could open it and use the port and then seal it again. It also had a magnetic charging port that didn’t need water protection.
But iirc, it was said that the waterproof rating was only true as long as you didn’t use these pieces^^

I can think of a design where the battery just sits tight against the top part of the smartphone and you could remove the bottom part to spring it out like an SD-Card. That bottom part would just need to have rubber on the inside edges

Posting would work just as it works now, the difference is how easy you can view the different communities. The idea is that it’s just like if you were for example just subscribed to different tech communities from other instances. Now you can switch your view to subscribed to only see all those tech threads.

The problem is when you are subscribed to more than just those tech communities, you can’t filter your view so that you still only have those tech communities on your page.

Multi-subreddits would do just that. You could group different communities together and view them as you view your subscribed list, only now you can have multiple of those lists with different communities in them

Afaik „magazines“ are just Lemmys „communities“ or reddits „subreddits“

Eventually people will be able to go to the search bar, type “technology” and just click the top result which will be by far the most active

Well that wouldn’t be true for someone that is on an instance that is defederated from the most active one, and even if that’s not the case, I would only see posts in there from people that are not part of instances that are defederated by my instance. So depending on which instance I am, I’ll see more or less posts on these comunities.

That’s the major problem I see right now and for which I don’t see any other solution than everyone creating their own instance for themselfes to be able to see everything.
