Think of it as different home screen. I personally like it, because the original home screen was slow and bloated with things I didn't care about. I just want it to launch Plex, YouTube, Jellyfin, etc.

That sucks, I'm mostly a desktop user, so that's unfortunate to know.
Yeah, I just post things that I find and like, or find interesting. Lol I only have a few internal rules, like:
- No political BS (let's just chill and hangout)
- Nothing inflammatory, or targeted (unless it messes with right to repair, or tech privacy)
- Nothing hyper localized (like a city)
Everything else that's interesting is on the table!
Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.
Yeah, this community doesn’t seem very vocal. I think when I posted this I had less than 50 subs to the community as well, which probably plays a big hand in it.
Luckily though, this is a cross post and the original seemed to have more eyes than here.
Im glad you found it!
I've done it for the pride and accomplishment mostly lol I thoroughly like being able to choose what apps I use to access music.
I also bounced around from service to service, so having a nice home base is awesome, and there is a ton of music that wasn't ever able on Spotify that I can now listen to.
Although the process is a bit hands on now, I appreciate looking through YouTube/bandcamp to deliberately listen and discover. The intention behind it really makes it feel more organic than relying on an algorithm/influencer playlists
I have my own server, but I could never escape discovery. It's equally as important as sitting down and listening to an album for me.
I've supplemented discover with YouTube/bandcamp. I add the music to playlists/wishlist and periodically buy from them.
What an amazing hobby! I’m sorry it turned into a what it did. I’ve had this experience countless times.
Every time I want to start anything, my brain always blows it up into something so grand, that I no longer enjoy doing that thing. The processes become so tedious, that I become burnt out on the journey to become “the best”.
I’m having to put a lot of work to keep this community simple. I can still feel the creep of wanting to do more, like learning how to build a bot for auto summaries, etc. For now, it’s all good here though.
That's actually pretty good, assuming it's not degenerate.
For relevance on how rare it is, there are only 43 known people of that have it. They have to donate their blood to themselves when they’re healthy every year, so they have it, if they need it.
I totally agree. It doesn’t make any sense at this price. I just wanted to share it, and see what other people thought about it.
