I have a phone that has an OLED type display and has a high contrast ratio and HDR. I don’t wanna spend “flagship phone” amount of money on a tablet, so I was wondering if a cheap tablet would improve viewing experience because of the bigger screen or would it be worse since its LCD and low contrast ratio. By “videos” I mean mostly for Youtube, but sometimes TV Shows, and occasionally movies.

(And no I don’t want something like a TV, too big, too much hassle for casually watching videos)

(P.S. I notice a lot of reddit threads get very judgy and poor-shaming when people mention “movie” and “phone”/“tablet” in the same sentence… 👀)

    Federation works very well on PieFed. Based on the message on your profile, you should consider using software not developed by tankies.

      I’m OP. My instance sh.itjust.works went down, so I had to make another one on a different instance.

      Speaking of tankies, maybe I should switch, but I have the impression that Piefed is still in beta? Or did I get the wrong impression?

      There’s only like a small number of piefed instances and I don’t think instance defederation is a thing yet, ironically I can’t seem to find a piefed instance that defederated lemmygrad and hexbear.

        I am not sure if PieFed is in beta, it has been very reliable to me, and now with mobile app support. It is under very active development, we see new features popping up regularly. It already has some unique features not available on lemmy.

        Lemmygrad and Hexbear are on the block list of piefed.social, and PieFed handles instance block much better than lemmy. I’ve added lemmy.ml from my personal block list, and I see absolutely nothing from lemmy.ml users.
