I’ve been using Kagi for the past two months. Honestly, I’m pretty happy with it and I can’t think of any major misses in terms of search accuracy. I think it’s very difficult to get out of the mindset that search should be free, but I’m trying to put my money where my mouth is as it were, to try to support adtech free services.
For me, I started out with android back in the 2.3 days. Then custom roms, launchers, rooting was all really fun and exciting. I switched to an iPhone when the X came out after a bad experience with the Pixel 2 XL (QA issues and poor customer service mainly), and I didn’t make the switch back until the Pixel 7 came out.
Right now, I’d say I prefer android because the notification system is much better. I have greater control of my homescreen, and more freedom to install software not blessed by either Apple or Google.
I really like the first one, it has quite a playful feeling to it.
Another lurker here, but somehow it feels like it has been a lot easier to post on here compared to reddit. Hopefully Lemmy continues to have good discussion without devolving too much into reddit meme comment chains and the like.
Is it the android community you’re referring to? As I believe that is run by the same moderators as was on the original subreddit, which is a shame.
I don’t feel like transplanting the exact same leadership / moderator teams as was on Reddit is always the best idea and some element of choice is important.
