Wefwef is my top choice right now and Connect is my second favorite.
I loved it!

The fact that the sets were supposed to be fictitious/play-sets gave him an excuse to push his style into an almost cartoonish extreme. I enjoyed the nested levels of storytelling. There was a lot of humor, some of which was more outright than in his previous films. There was still plenty of more subtle and dry humor too. The eye candy was taken to new extremes with hyper-saturated colors. The framing/compositions, transitions, etc were delightful as always. I think the story was quite strong with a good and clever ending.
Some fun things I noticed: When the cowboy dude walks there are spur noises, even though he had no spurs. In many of the black and white shots, the characters eyes have a subtle red tint, I suppose to draw your eyes into their faces.
Did anyone else think the space alien looked like Salad Fingers (a reference for the OG Newgrounds crowd). https://imgur.com/a/mJNPDCR
I do miss being able to swap out a phone battery and this will certainly be a step in the right direction in terms ewaste and device longevity.
One thing that I wonder about is waterproofing or water resistance. Some phones are basically waterproof in shallow water. How achievable is this with a device with a trivial way to remove the battery?
At this point, I'm not interested in folding phones. There just aren't many reasons why I would need one right now. I suppose that they would make a nice ebook reader, but day-to-day I don't need that. They are currently a little on the thick side to be keeping in my pocket.
I am happy that they exist and maybe when they get thinner and work out some of the kinks, I might be ore interested.
Don't forget your personal guestbook!
Go to the Communities page on your own instance that you are logged into. There should be a toggle buttons to change from "Local" to "All" or "Subscribed". Press the "All" button and seach for the community name. There might be some duplicates on other servers so make sure you found the one on the server that you want. Then hit subscribe.
Yes, sort of! When I was a little kid, before our family had access to the internet, I was dialing into BBS (Bulletin Board System) servers that random people self-hosted around the world. Some were sort of secret and grew from word of mouth. Many of them were small communities, not too different from a lemmy instance, except it was all text-based. There was something so addicting and novel to suddenly be able to chat and contact random people all over the world.
Then when we did get the internet I would stay up finding all kinds of random homemade websites and web communities. I learned to code and built my own websites. verything was much more decentralized back then and it really did make the internet more interesting and full of unknown gems. People would put each other's website links on their websites, which formed endless paths to discover new places. For a while, the internet really was just random individuals with very little corporate/commercial content.

Thanks! It worked later on when I tried again.
When I browse communities and switch to allI am able to find some off server communities that I would like to join, but when I go to the link, I am unable to subscribe. The subscribe button doesn't seem to work. Is this because the server doesn't federate with the other one? I am trying to add some nature/science related communities from the https://mander.xyz server.
Yeah, I do agree that it feels a little out of place on Android, but currently I have been using it because it still feels polished and I haven't had many bugs with it. Lemmy clients in general are in their early days and many are quite rough around the edges. I've had a lot of bugs with most of them.
Connect for Lemmy has a Material You style to it and feels like at home on Android. It uses your current Material color scheme and feels a bit similar to Sync for Reddit.
