there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

Feeder is a perfectly functional RSS reader for Android, and the only updated and straight forward one on F-Droid when I decided to set up my feeds, and an app I've seen suggested on Lemmy several times when there's mention of RSS...but why doesn't it have groups? I've got my general news mixed with tech news, cluttered in between the rest of it - it does have grouping and it's called "tags"

this thread made me re-check and there are some new options in there and at least one will let you group the feeds: Read You

EDIT: dumb take

omg, thank you. i just learnt about the "tags" function that I've always assumed worked differently without even trying it

yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that's why

damn, even with seeing the bot around here i forgot to try Piped these days

anyway, i've found a solution - i had "proxy videos through Invidious" turned on on Freetube (which was redundant since i'm behind a VPN). i've unchecked it and things seem fime now

still, thank you

ruplicant OP ,
@ruplicant@sh.itjust.works avatar

thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting "Proxy videos through Invidious". it's turned off now and working fine

how can i find such "obscure" instances, tho? i've always picked one from the Invidious' website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now

also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine

on a side note, I'd never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know

i really don't think so. i hope it will be so in the future

i've worked at a call center years ago on the retentions dep. of some mobile internet provider. after learning of such trickery, i'll fucking tell everyone that will listen "hey mate, you've got a internet/telephone/cable tv subscription? are you in the "fidelity" period? (yeah that shit is a thing here...) ok so listen, AS SOON AS a second passes from the end of the period, this is how you get the actual decent price for service..."

some people had to stop me on my track several times because i was repeating myself to them (forgot who i'd already told about it) because i must make sure everyone knows

been doing it all these years

so i guess over 20% of houses in Austria, Netherlands, or Denmark have no lights and leaking roofs. if only those people got their own...

no real estate taxes for the first house owned, heavy and progressive taxes starting on the second, is an idea

companies get called people all the time, i'm starting to believe it, but i still think they don't need shelter, so they shouldn't be able to aquire a basic human need
