Perplexica isn't a plugin for SearXNG, but it's based on that and it integrates with Ollama

Yes, there are no limitations. I've been using it since January and it's been fantastic. Just keep in mind that there are multiple versions of Molly, and UnifiedPush support is not included in the main version. You either need to pull the APK from the mollyim-android-unifiedpush repo, or add the Molly F-Droid repo and download the UnifiedPush version from there.
For the UnifiedPush client, you just need to download ntfy from F-Droid, GitHub or Google Play, go to the settings, set the server to https://ntfy.adminforge.de, and set the Connection protocol to WebSockets. In the Molly-UnifiedPush app, go to Settings -> Notifications, set the server to https://molly.adminforge.de and set the Delivery Method to UnifiedPush. I know that my explanation wasn't particularly great, but it should work. Will soon post a better guide to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Try Molly, it's a fork of the Signal client for Android, which improves battery life (even with WebSockets) or alternatively allows you to use UnifiedPush. Signal doesn't support UP natively, but Molly has created a bridge called mollysocket, which takes Signal notifications and forwards them to your UnifiedPush server of choice. You can self-host it, or just use a public instance like https://adminforge.de/services/mollysocket/. They also host an instance of ntfy (UnifiedPush server) at ntfy.adminforge.de. If you have questions on how to set this up, feel free to DM me. But it's pretty easy and you don't need to self-host anything. And it's perfectly secure, because although the mollysocket server is added as a linked device in Signal, it doesn't get the encryption keys to your messages. So it can't decrypt your messages or see the content of your notifications.
Crab Champions is not exactly new (I think it's been in early access since 2023), but it's really fun and currently just $7.49
Signal has their own implementation of notifications, which uses WebSockets. It works, and it doesn't rely on Google, but it eats up battery like crazy. If every app did this, you would have a battery life of an hour. That's why UnifiedPush is a better solution.
I tried using Jerboa and found it to be incredibly buggy and poorly designed. Not sure what's going on there, considering that it's the official mobile app made by the Lemmy devs
Probably people who have been using Boost for Reddit before and now want the same experience but for Lemmy
Who gives a fuck whether it's legal?
That's what you get for using a proprietary Lemmy app. Switch to Thunder, it doesn't have ads, it's open source and in my opinion has the best UI out of all Lemmy apps. Also support the development and join their community: !thunder_app@lemmy.world
Calyx is unfortunately pretty slow to release security patches, uses privileged apps with root access like microG and the F-Droid privileged extension by default and doesn't really provide any unique features. All of the privacy features of Calyx are either already present or can be easily replicated in a better form on GrapheneOS. Take Datura Firewall, it's yet another privileged app with root access which adds unnecessary attack surface, and is less secure than the Graphene equivalent. GrapheneOS implements a network permission toggle, which is embedded in Android's native permission manager and uses the INTERNET permission to restrict network access. It disables both direct and indirect network access, including the local device network (localhost). GrapheneOS also has a bunch of unique security features, that can't be found on any other Android ROM, like for example a hardened memory allocator, hardened kernel, secure app spawning, improved SELInux policies, Duress PIN/Password, driver-level USB-C control, Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes and soon App Communication Scopes. GrapheneOS also includes Sandboxed Google Play services, a better GMS implementation than microG, which doesn't require root and has better app compatibility.
