I started in Kbin. I think that the activity level was smaller in there, which made me swap. Another reason was that Lemmy feels nicer to use (I like its looks more and I found a neat app on the phone to use it. Didn’t find an app for Kbin).

I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

Hmm. Does this mean that it’s expensive to run this whole Fediverse thing and that the money is running out?
True. I must say this is my first and only second-hand phone, so I’m very new on this stuff 😂
I was told about the update problems as well. In my case, I still receive updates on my Samsung.
I’d guess that putting some time on researching your options in second-hand phones reduces risks somewhat and adds to chances to end up with a decent find 😄
Well, my 100-150€ phone has survived fine for over a year now.
When you consider the rule (I’ve heard) that a phone is supposedly old and should be updated to a new one after two years of purchase, I consider my phone being on a long run already!
Gotta check the battery info from a respectable seller.
Mine had a guarantee of 90% of the battery function…was it compared to a new, unused phone of itself (can’t remember). I don’t remember how good my previous phone’s battery was in the beginning, or any before that, but this current phone had an awesome battery life! (I try to keep the battery between 20-80% to give the battery more life)
I have also gone greener in these past months (not phones only) and I also want to support greener choices!
Bought my first second-hand phone about a year ago! A Samsung one.
Bought it from a finnish phone store. My guess would be - someone ditched their phone after the screen broke and they fixed it and put it to sell. It was 100-150€ (before I bought new phones for 600+€) Its tech was much better than my previous phone’s, including the battery life 😂
The only problem I have been experiencing is some touch screen problems - it’s almost as if a ghost starts to use my phone once in a while when I activate the screen. Usually closing and reopening the screen makes it go away. New updates might also affect positively/negatively on this challenge. But I’m still happy with my phone!
One another Bitwarden user chiming in!
I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I’ve used only the free side on both).
I do hope you are wrong on that 😅
