If it’s just one large file I just play it on a podcast app (in my case Podcast Addict) and if it’s multiple I stich them together with ffmpeg before sending it to my phone.

At least it makes me feel good that I only just got a set for the first time last week and figured all those out within 5 min of actually using them.

I have them off, but if something comes in that I should respond to I do send some sort of response back (errands, plans, etc.) I just don’t like feeling I get that I should respond now to something just because I saw it and now the person on the other end knows that I saw it, and are now wondering why I haven’t sent something back yet.

I’ve been using the app for the past day+ and I only get an ad every 25 posts and none everywhere else, even comments. I prefer foss, been using linux since 2018, but I don’t see why every dev should have to contribute if they don’t want to. At the end of the day, it means more active users on lemmy. What every person puts on their phone is up to them. (I also might switch to infinity now that it’s out too.)
