    You need to put a space after the period after your numbers to make a numbered list. Your list is all jumbled up into a paragraph. Doing it the right way also means the numbers you use don’t actually matter, which is nice because inserting a nitem near the top doesn’t mean you then have to edit all the numbers under it. They can all be 1. and the list will be numbered correctly.

    My list:

    1. Mull (Firefox fork)
    2. Signal
    3. Google Messages
    4. Pi Music Player
    5. Shattered Pixel Dungeon
    6. Thunder for Lemmy
    7. YouTube
    8. Google Camera
    9. Fossify Gallery
    10. KeePassDX

    For giggles, view the source of my comment. Oh shit, I broke it by adding a 10th item. At least in Thunder. It doesn’t support 1000000000 as a number for an ordered list.

      I tried switching to Aurora, but apps updated through there no longer appear in Android Auto for some reason (Spotify, Smart Audiobook Player)

        That is very interesting, you should make the developers aware of this! https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore I personally don’t use Android Auto and I can’t see what the disconnect would be considering Aurora Store is only a client, and shouldn’t interfere with an app’s structure. I’ve been using it for a little over a year now and have updated major system apps like Google Play Services, Android System Webview, Android AICore, etc etc, without any glitching or incompatibilities. I’d be curious to see why Android Auto performs this way. I wonder if it depends on the Google Play Store for it to work. That’s a new thing I’ve noticed that Google and Microsoft are doing, they’re forcing their products to be dependent on eachother, for anything to work. Seemingly as a workaround for people who outsource to other services, such as FOSS alternatives.

      Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don’t render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.

        The only browser that supports proper extensions such as Ublock origin (which is much more advanced than the built-in adblockers in other browsers).

        I disagree about the UX but that is probably just my preference. I use Facebook marketplace sometimes and it seems fully functional, no jumping around or whatever. Every now and then I have to use desktop mode but only on like government sites. Maybe it’s because I use an ad blocker that I don’t notice the problems you report.

        I like:

        • customizable swipe left/right gestures,
        • swiping to close a post,
        • being able to set the font size of the different parts of the post list,
        • different display formats for different communities,
        • switching between accounts easily,
        • the markdown hints in the editor,

        I don’t think any of these are unique. I just like this implementation.

      Racoon for lemmy

      This is the 1st time I decided to check about this (I have heard that name before here), after a 1st glance it looks a lot like Boost for Lemmy, and since Boost seems to be the best working client for me at this moment (image and posts load for example is way faster than Summit, Voyager and Eternity), in terms of speed Sync for Lemmy is faster, but it is so broken with my current instance that is not worth to use it anymore.

      I might install Raccoon soonish :)

        I sometimes watch IRL streamers from parts of the world I’ve never been to. I’ve never been to New York City but due to watching streams from a bike messenger I feel like I know the city quite well.
