[email protected], for push notifications on Android that don't rely on proprietary Google services
Hey guys, I created this community to promote and talk about the UnifiedPush project. It aims to create a free and open source alternative to Google's proprietary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Quite a few apps have already adopted the UP protocol, but there are still many FOSS apps lacking support for it. I will post GitHub issue threads where UP integration in FOSS apps is being discussed. I will also post about new apps that gained UnifiedPush support, and other useful tools that help with using UP. If you want to stay up-to-date about ongoing developments in the Android FOSS ecosystem in regards to push notifications, consider subscribing to [email protected]
I also recommend following the official Mastodon account, joining the Matrix room and donating to support development!

A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2216085
---
Searching Lemmyverse is good for finding communities. [email protected] is also a nice tool for finding new places.
I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.
note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.
Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.
--- My rough criterion was:
- Of interest to me or a wide audience
- Has a decent amount of activity
- Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
- 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.

Reviving [email protected] as an alternative to [email protected]
As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.
There were quite a few complaints on [email protected] about [email protected] not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.
And if it fails, at least we tried.

Open Creative
Just popping in to post about a community to discuss FOSS creative software like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Kdenlive, Blender, etc...
https://lemmy.ca/c/open_creative
I've used them all at one time or another. Since moving to FOSS as much as possible ten years ago, I've learned a LOT about most of the programs, and consider myself a near expert in some (Kdenlive, GIMP) and fairly competent in others (Blender, Scribus).
I feel like having a place where anyone who uses FOSS creative software can both ask questions, share advice, and celebrate each others works, would be a nice addition to the Fediverse.
So feel free to join and post your work, your questions, your news or your tips and tricks.
I'm a one man band as far as modding and maintaining for now, so thanks in advance for your patience while I learn how it all works on the back end.
