Years ago I selfhosted Nextcloud and found this interaction just as clunky as using google drive. Now I'm just using SFTP which has much less overhead and it integrates beautifully with just about any file manager on Linux. Then again, using it on windows is a pain as far as I know.

Pray tell, good sir or madam, might I inquire if you, in all your noble magnificence, can lay claim to a distinguished position within the hallowed ranks of the illustrious landed gentry of Reddit?
You're absolutely right.
Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones.
I think that's mostly because most commercial apps have fantastic ui and ux.
It's so encouraging to hear so many pro Firefox opinions lately. Then I remember I'm logged into the pirate instance of a federated platform and anti-corporate sentiment is probably as high as it gets.
Sadly most younger people haven't even heard of Firefox.
Lemmings sounds absolutely adorable and since the app is defunct it is kind of free for the taking.
I used Boost daily for the past ~10 years and would love to use it in the years to come.
Also, I would love to hear about the progress of porting Boost to Lemmy and the technical aspects of it.

Where did you find the CPU and RAM utilization data?
This may be the developers' decision. I noticed that for some reason Boost still works, for now at least.
This is what I use as well. As it does not come with any cloud storage (a feature imo) I sync it with syncthing - another great foss, privacy-friendly project.
A reinstall fixed this for me, but broke my ability to subscribe to communities and post comments.
Edit: After a bit of browsing it broke again and now I can't subscribe and comment AND rearrange the feed.
I believe joining the fediverse is like having a small personal garden.
You don't enjoy it because of some great harvest, you don't enjoy it because it is the biggest farm to ever exist. You simply enjoy it because it is your own and you can do whatever you want to.
If you're into organic, non-GMO, thats fine. If you want to be bee friendly, that's fine. You don't have to turn a massive profit.
Of course you'll want to communicate (federate) with other small time farmers and share your passion and experience.
But would you like to share a border with an unethical (by whatever standards) corporate owned farm? Would you invite them to your meeting because of their greater expertise and massive harvests? Would you let their tractors plow your little garden?
I guess it's over for bee friendliness when they start using pesticides. It's over with you organic garden when their synthetic fertilizers start polluting your soil. And when that happens it's not your garden anymore. It was bastardized by a profit driven company and you'll have to find yet another space to setup your garden.
As you may see, I'm on the pirate Instance. How long do you think we can survive without being defederated by meta? I don't enjoy the idea that meta may try to force instances that federate with them to defederate us, but it will probably happen.
TLDR:
I don't believe one should let a profit driven commercial farm get anywhere near ones home garden, and we should not let a toxic, profit-driven corporation anywhere near the fediverse.
Years ago I moved to Linux and one of the reasons was to not spend as much time gaming. Nowadays if I wanted to do the same I would have to move to BSD.
