Yeah you’ll be hardpressed to find polling data. Not sure if anyone is even polling people to get a picture of who’s leading.
I’ve taken up the strategy of voting for candidates who will bolster the party I want to see more of. So comparing the list of candidates: https://votemate.org/vancouver2025/candidates/?riding=762
To the current council: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_City_Council#Since_2022
I’ll probably pick someone based on that. Doing your own research for municipal level is quite difficult unless you go out of your way to talk to/interact with candidates and to attend the all candidate debate. Finding videos online hasn’t been easy either.
Good luck!
quaffto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeksEnglish2·18 days agoFor sure. It’s good to know. But not a huge compromise considering we are talking about still using a flavour of Android and play services.
I just tried that! Definitely something weird with my account. Even starting fresh, the side bar didn’t show that I was subbed to that community even tho I am.
Huh. I did that in my recording! Just tried it again… Unless I’m doing something wrong 😅 it still doesn’t work 🥲🥲🥲
Also tried logging out and logging back in 🫡
Hmm if it makes any difference… I don’t see that community in this sidebar, but I’m definitely subbed…
quaffto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeksEnglish2·19 days agoAh. They have a lot thats open. And I believe if you run Headscale (and android and/or Linux clients), you can be fully open source.
Thanks for taking the time and checking this out!
Waiting about 5s didn’t seem to work. I’ve also tried to unsubscribe first. Maybe there’s something wrong with my account. I tried other communities… This is the only I can find that has this problem. Here’s a screen recording. It feels like user error to me 😅
I can’t seem to add !vancouver@lemmy.ca as a favourite on this build 🙏
quaffto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeksEnglish13·18 days agoI’ve just switched from an iPhone 12 Pro to Pixel 9 and am on GrapheneOS now. Aside from Signal chat history, everything switched over quite easily. Sandboxed google play services is simply an amazing feature. Rerouting location requests let’s me feel a certain level of trust when I use Google Maps now. There are a tonne of little quality of life features too that I don’t remember if base Android had back when I used it before; e.g. setting the default language for a specific application.
For using Immich without exposing it to the public, check out Tailscale. It’s a private VPN (wireguard) service (it’s partially opensource and provides paid tiers, but the free tier is all you’ll need; there’s an open source server called Headscale, if you need full open source) you can use on your home network that is dead simple to configure. You literally just login on you computer and your phone.
quaffto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How did you guys get your fediverse real-time notifications to work?English4·29 days agoOn iOS, Arctic for Lemmy supports push notifications. And Ice Cubes for Mastodon supports push notifications as well.
On Android, I’ve been using Moshidon for Mastodon and Thunder for Lemmy. Both apps support Unified Push (it’s experimental for Thunder, requires a self hosted server as well).
Which is probably why it took me years to move off of 😅
They’re great! I eventually switched from them for a better UI/UX though 🥲
Same. Only pixelfed.social doesn’t have this issue. I wonder if that’s on purpose some how
Arctic supports push notifications. The reason why it’s not more common amongst 3rd party apps, is because you in need a dedicated server to enable push notifications. Push notifications are part of the Lemmy roadmap, maybe when that’s released, 3rd party apps can take a advantage of it.

quaffto Thunder App@lemmy.world•Anyone else feel that Thunder scrolling is not as smooth as other apps?4·1 month agoYeah, I’m coming from iOS (mlem) and tried out a bunch of different apps. I picked Thunder on Android cause it has all the features and style I want, but the scrolling and loading of feeds feels not as smooth/fast as other apps.
