    I’m alright with this personally. I don’t like support posts, but as long as they’re tagged who cares. I can just filter that out on my end

      I don’t think much has even been removed here but there is also something else that occurred to me.

      Direct image links. Users just dumping a screenshot of their “problem” and then just scooting off with not much context and why we asked them over on r/Android for them to at least contain that image in a .self post, and then describe what they’ve already done to try and resolve their issue etc.

    Yeah I’m down for that tbf. Ngl I have become disillusioned with posting news about Android for the last few months. Because if it’s not Mishaal Rahman, the rest of the news feels cynical and apathetic.

      Android is pretty boring nowadays it seems. Custom ROMs is mostly LineageOS and GrapheneOS. Manufacturers don’t innovate anymore. Phones are losing features.

        Honestly, I’m okay with Android being stable. My issues with the removal, hardware features and just the stagnating updates from Samsung. When compared to their Chinese counterparts where they upgrade nearly everything.

          My only experience is with a Xiaomi 11T, HyperOS is quite a pain to use. Not allowing gesture function for third party launchers is kind of crazy.

          Are the other Chinese phones Android versions better in that regard?

            Maybe vivo, but definitely OnePlus allows you to do that. Cuz I know oppo does the same bs as Xiaomi doing.

    Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me

    I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation

    Help vampires while I like to try and help, there’s too many of you 🙈

      The day we get there I’ll happily be in favor of segregating

        Well yeah, but like I also said over on Matrix this post of yours should really include the prior ROM’s you’ve used/problems you encountered to spark more discussion?

        It’s a bit of a cul-de-sac of a post to be honest.

          I could say “I don’t use any, so I’m curious what the community thinks”, but that doesn’t really add value

            I don’t use any, so I’m curious what the community thinks

            yeah I suppose that’s the crux of the issue. Some want “more numbers” to view their post whilst not really engaging the !askandroid (or !android) community otherwise :/

            edit: clarity

              Not sure what you mean, are you saying I’m not engaging with the community?

                Nope, like I said some in general just dump their questions and leave hence there been a separate place for support questions.

    Personally, I want them segregated. I answer help posts when I have the power to do so. But, I skip when I don’t want to. Seeing them when I don’t want to would be an energy drain.

    Someone mentioned they can be filtered. But, I do not see tags or an easy way to do so. I use Sync for Lemmy and Voyager.

    I prefer the merge as it will drive up engagement. Maybe with a temporary rule like to see what’s going on, because if it becomes like on Reddit where 100 users every day ask the same simple question 100 times, it becomes annoying

    Yes, it’s very annoying to have a question and then having to ask it in a non-active community, instead of the active one. But please don’t make a stickied thread dedicated for support questions. Those get even less traction
