Technology@beehaw.org•Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
12·5 days agoTheir software is getting less stable with each release, while the amount of crammed in features is going up.
I agree that you may be having this personal experience. On the other hand, I am not and have been using iOS for many years. The difference could be that I intentionally stay very informed about iOS.
I, personally, will not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
However, if you believe that you will have better experiences using Android, then please make the switch.
Back in 2007 (After many years of making a career out of using Microsoft/Windows products) I started using Linux and MacOS/iOS exclusively and have never looked back.
I have very little experience and/or knowledge of Android. So, I can’t comment on that.

7·6 days agoWould you, please, explain why you are considering switching from iOS to Android?
Like Twitter and Mastodon, it’s a micro-blogging platform. You could use it like I do which is just to read specific subjects. If you want to use it in more of a social way, then I couldn’t advise you on that since I don’t use it in that way.
However, it may just take time getting used to how it’s laid out as opposed to a link aggregator such as Beehaw.
They may add that later.
I feel like I need to create a new user and start over.
That may be easier for you and you’re welcome.
Google’s “Discovery” feed
Did you mean Bluesky’s?
I haven’t had a lot of success with the discovery feed. You could try a third party app such as Skeets.
I understand. Different strokes for different folks. I mainly use it to read about things I’m interested in like scientific fields such as space exploration.
I’d suggest using Bluesky in ways that most people wouldn’t think about.
For example, you could use it to keep up to date about local events in your geographic area. Another example would be to follow a very unique subject such as macrophotography.
Welcome to Beehaw!

I was a beta tester for Bluesky so I’ve been using it for a long time. I have ZERO problems. As far as I can tell users have 100% control over their feed. What exactly is making your experience ‘not fun’?
