So I got a Kobo Libra recently, with the express purpose of reading library books with OverDrive. However, I found that I suck at starting books in a timely manner, and I now wish to buy books directly. However, the books I do plan to buy are relatively popular and expansive series. When I look up if they are sold in collections, I either get no results or Amazon links, which are for Kindle and I have no idea if I'd be able to freely copy/move them to multiple devices. Is there a website(s) that sells popular books as ePUBs without DRM? Or is there otherwise a way to buy ebooks on Amazon, download them on my PC, and then turn them into DRM-free ePUBs to read on my Kobo?

Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What's the catch?

If you want to start romhacking, or are just curious about how the games were put together, there is no better time than now. Thanks to the efforts of pret and the open source community, every mainline Pokémon game up to Emerald has been decompiled.

I mean most members here were probably aware of these, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who didn't know these existed

I think this community could serve as a great repository for resources on romhacking. If only because much information on romhacking is not very easily searchable, or old, or trapped in forums. Surfacing that info here would add value to this community. And if the instance goes down, at least federated instances will still have the info.

After all, don't many platforms (or heck, browsers) render .zip URLs nonfunctional due to security concerns? Meaning our community.lemmy.zip links may not automatically hyperlink when we want them to, or it may trigger security risk popups. Whoops. Feel free to correct me.

Can anybody not in the instance I'm logged into see this post?

Edit: ok, you guys can stop replying now.

This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean.

So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance:

• The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems.
• The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community via the instance I searched it on, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet.

Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
