Solid food photography as well!

Onion rings maybe?

So while lemmy.ca is a Canadian instance (hosted in Canada, run by Canadians, etc.), it’s federated and so you can still connect to communities everywhere else. I would recommend skimming through these two pages :)

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

Each community is free to decide what content belongs in it, and users are free to subscribe to the ones that match what they’re looking for. If it helps, you can find some more Canada specific communities here:

• pinned post of Canadian communities: https://lemmy.ca/post/2890824
• communities that were made on lemmy.ca: https://lemmy.ca/communities

I don’t know if we have a community specifically for Canadian news, but the country / province / territory / city communities generally fill that niche.

I personally prefer to only use my subscribed feed (instead of all) so that I can curate it the way I like it

There are a few selfhosted versions of this.

It can be helpful to reference this info, and if it’s only stored on your computer then I don’t see the downside

It should be forked under a new name soon enough

For example, Mull is also by Divested Computing Group and this should be the new project for it

Sounds like they want everyone to download directly from the Play store, and not in a way they can’t control?

Same trend as the official OS only apps, overzealous ‘Play Protect’, etc.

You can still use Files by Google to share Android applications in a similar manner. Under Categories, go to “Apps” and then the overflow menu for what you want to “Share.”

A lot of other apps still support it, including FOSS ones, unless the play app did something extra?

For example

• SD Maid SE: App Control > Export App
• Kvaesitso: long tap > 3 dot menu > Share app
• F-Droid for all of their apps

Or maybe
