HoleyLight sounds like what you're searching for. I've never personally tried it though.

It works fine for me, perhaps you didn't grant the app Contacts permissions?

I got this a few days ago. Previously I was using Geometric Weather, but then in Feb or so it got stuck. I'm very happy that this app (or rather the fork) is now maintained again!

I'd recommend just taking an hour or so to scroll through all of the recently updated apps, I found a ton of super cool small "utility apps" that way.

The units can be adjusted in Settings > Appearance > Units, or are you missing options there?

I have bots on and it's mostly ever these two.

There are still reddit repost bots, but they are all on reddit repost instances. As I have those like two or three instances blocked, I don't see any of them.

There's a lemmy profile setting whether to show bots, you probably have that turned off.

It's not decentralized, everyone connects to one central server.

Do beware, Samsung typically has a decent amount of bloat and not so privacy respecting services.

I will once again shill for Proxigram (not my project), the only? remaining FOSS instagram frontend. You can try it out on one of the public instances.

I'm not entirely sure if it supports opening Instagram links though.

While I do agree and have stopped using the Samsung keyboard, it does have many unique features that I still miss almost daily.

A few that come to mind:

• a special text editing mode (select all to the left, right; turn select mode on and then move around with arrowkeys while selecting, ...)
• visual resizing of the keyboard
• "2D" cursor control (move cursor diagonally)
• swipe spacebar left/right to change input method (while having spacebar cursor control enabled!)

Do you mean the SimpleMobileTools keyboard or the "normal" Simple Keyboard?

Coming from the Samsung keyboard (and before that Apple), I'm quite dissatisfied with the cursor movement in most Android keyboards (including HeliBoard).

I can relate, with every update I'm like "Wow this is going to optimize my setup so much" and then I just don't change anything lol

Soumds like revolt might be interesting to you.

Streaming, especially video, is quite challenging and expensive. The fact that discord's video streaming was so cheap was always somewhat suspicious.

You can probably do this with Tasker (incredibly powerful paid app, very worth it). I believe there are also more apps like tasker which are free, but I don't know of any examples right now or how well they would work for this.

From what I can see Blockinger had its last commit 11 years ago. While it's not on F-Droid (still FOSS though), my Tetris clone of choice is Falling Lightblocks. One super cool feature is 2 player competitive on one device using 2 game controllers.

I believe WhatsApp needs the mobile app to connect to WhatsApp's servers at least once every two weeks.

I think your best bet would be getting the cheapest phone you can find that will run a recent WhatsApp version, and then just leaving that at home connected to the internet. You could then use any WhatsApp web client (the website, some app, a matrix bridge, ...) to actually use WhatsApp on the go.

I'm on both, the one friend I message on matrix conveniently also hosts our instance.

Nowadays I very rarely use discord (only for server voice channels, because it's just better). The few chats I still have on discord are bridged into matrix.

For many of my friends it was easier moving them to Signal though instead of matrix.

While it's not at the same level as Graphene OS, Samsung is pretty well supported by Lineage OS. AFAIK at least in Europe Samsung phones have an unlockable bootloader, but YMMV.
