  • junderwood@lemmy.worldtoBoost For Lemmy@lemmy.world•Bug: Can't upload images!English

    I run into this problem too. In my case I finally figured out that it’s an image size problem, as the other commenter said, though the error doesn’t message that, it just fails without explanation. What I would like is an image resizer within the app so I could just shrink it down, and generally some way to know before failure what I’m supposed to do. Some of that could be solved within Boost, but I understand not all of it.

    Another person said that instances will encourage uploading to imgur or catbox - but catbox files don’t get previews on Boost, so that’s no good. At least for me anyway - but that’s kind of a separate topic.

    One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.

    Which qualities would you like to improve?

    I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

    • Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options

    • Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity

    • Solid Explorer to do file system stuff

    Built in stuff:

    • Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed

    • Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule

    • Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped.

    • Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction.

    • Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.
