Those who use the SimpleX application, I would like to know if there are communities or privacy groups, the truth is Lemmy is my only social platform, a few years ago I closed everything I had to finally stop being part of the herd, or if possible.

Would like it more than Signal ideally. But it's hard enough already to get people over to Signal. Couldn't justify how much battery its notification service drained for the few contacts (all nerdy close friends) I had there. That was over a year ago so I'm interested to hear if they fixed the power consumption issue.

They have not. I checked again recently. And they're still somewhat hostile towards the idea of UnifiedPush
