@fu Some years ago that phrase sounded romantic to me... :-)
Simplified that, thanks.

@mika83ac #AndStatus app has its unique features that make it a good choice for some users.
And people always need an alternative, even if it is "very unpopular" for others ;-)

@isaakubus So I understand that you installed different keyboard apps at your phone, and in all apps there was no way to make a linebreak.
If so this means that incompatibility is with your phone firmware and/or Android version. In order for me to fix the problem I need to be able to reproduce it.
But so far I don't have a device with this problem.

@isaakubus On Enter key behavior please read this and linked discussions: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/550

@z428 Frankly I personally read social networks rarely, and the #AndStatus app helps me keep a track of what's unread and look at that stuff and react at any place, even when there is no good connection.
But what I value even more is a feeling that I really "own my data" :-)
- I keep my conversations in the app for more than ten years already. I don't know why :-)
@petrescatraian @volkris

@z428 Completely true. Friendica specific features seem to be ignored by all the apps I've encountered, while the web front is just fantastic - even on mobile. The only app I see trying to respect the feature choice is #Friendiqa but it's development is a bit slow.

Indeed it is. There are little reasons for using apps for online services that work well enough inside a web browser. We've just gotten used to corporations pushing us towards their walled gardens.

@joachim_kreativ I noticed that some devices don't give apps enough background time to work...

@dancingtreefrog ... seeings that AndStatus sends the same Note simply respond with previously created Note.

@dancingtreefrog Got you how.
In order to investigate such cases #AndStatus logs are needed: they will allow to tell, why the app still thinks that the Note (Activity) was not sent.
But probably a network problem occured during sending, and the app didn't get confirmation from a server about successful Note creation on a server.
I thought that this should be a Server's responsibility to deduplicate/resolve such cases, and e.g. seeing that AndStatus client sends the same Note...

@dancingtreefrog Hello David, do you mean that I posted the same link twice?
Anyway, please free to "remove" me :-)

I visited the "Getting Started with the Twitter API" page https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api and as I understand it there is NO free access to reading tweets anymore.
This explains why there are no new tweets visible in #AndStatus anymore, see the discussion https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/579

@isaakubus You could also try some older version of #AndStatus
As you may see in the discussion that I linked to some years ago AndStatus had different implementation for line break option...
Please follow up in GitHub issues

@isaakubus This means that incompatibility is with your device firmware.
What's its model and Android version?
BTW I use Pixel 6 now - line break works.

@isaakubus The problem that you encounter is specific to a keyboard app that you use and/or to the Android version.
What are they so I could try to reproduce the behavior?

@recalalba I didn't hear about Lemmy yet :-)

@isaakubus Please see this and linked discussion https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/550

@wraithan #AndStatus has good logging that may help you in debugging communication problems, see
https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/225

@wraithan I do see a reply via "Open conversation" menu item in #AndStatus
Maybe an Actor of that reply is blocked at your side

@ryancoordinator Notifications in #AndStatus should work.
This could be incompatibility with your version of Android/firmware. Please raise an issue here so we could investigate this with you: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues

I searched 'mastodon' in f-droid and saw AndStatus

I updated fdroid, and searched again and was given fewer results.

What's up with that?
