So are there any real downsides to having an account on this instance? I chose it randomly when I signed up and don't know enough about the situation.

Should I be concerned enough to go make another account or is it essentially meaningless at the end of the day?

Definitely not critical, as I said I'm aware they're unsupported for good reason. However, both features are a luxury I've become accustomed to. I upgraded my car's sound system with android auto in mind, and I haven't carried a wallet on me for a few years now.

Aside from that, I'm all for seeing any de-googled tech grow in future

yes that's what I was wondering, thank you

I took a look at GrapheneOS when I purchased my current phone. Loved it for what it offered but the lack of Android Auto & tap-pay support ultimately turned me away - they're both not supported for good reason but I use them almost daily.

Does anyone know what the situation is with this product? I assume it also won't support Android auto for the same reasons

I'll admit I'm moving from reddit and don't yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I'm currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there's a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there's multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I've subscribed to them all and I guess that's just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.

Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
