  • I think that’s how it works. I’m not 100% sure but I remember it being explained that once a user visits a community from another instance for the first time a copy is made and only new posts start to populate the copy. Meaning the past discussion is not ported. Also, I assume the users are low because it shows people subscribed in that copy just made but not including the other instances’ subscribers.




  • Yes, AlphaDroid (Android 13)

    Honestly the names mean almost nothing, custom ROMs with new names come out all the time and get discontinued all the time. Just need to find the stable one for your specific device and with the features you want. I use custom ROMs mainly because I get much better battery life and performance compared to stock ROMs which are bloated and slow in my case.

    The drawback is mainly you should be tech savvy and be willing to do trial and error/tinkering a lot. But once you find a good ROM you’ll probably stay a long time and if the dev is good you’ll get consistent updates.

    There’s also the banking apps problem some people have. With most new ROMs these days, banking apps should work out of the box. Now if you root your phone that’s what apps try to detect but it’s pretty easy to get around after research (again tinkering). It’s a cat and mouse game. If they change something you’ll have to update your method of hiding root or Magisk. At the moment I’m using banking apps just fine without them detecting root.
