  • hmm, good question. I have not seen that issue before.

    Care to provide some more details, like which phone you are using?
    Have you checked if this issue has already been mentioned somewhere else on the internet?

    Firstly, check if you have any manual data limits set in the settings. Maybe that is something that could be limiting the ability to share connection.

    There is one nuke-and-pave option that I can think of. But that will reset practically everything that you changed within the settings.
    Long press on Settings icon -> App Info -> Storage and cache -> Clear Cache -> Clear Storage -> Delete
    And then maybe even Force Stop the Settings app and also restart phone.

    There have been discussions about this in the Lemmy Github repo issues. Latest info AFAIK is that this feature is waiting for some volunteer to implement it. Current developers said that they are busy with other features.

    But yes, this is something that I would also like to see very much. Allowing same-topic communities to connect would be good for whole Fediverse.

    As jet points out, QEMU for actual hardware virtualisation.

    There is one relevant thing, which is not exactly in the same category, but does somewhat similar thing:
    containers
    most popular example being Docker
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)
    containers don’t emulate whole hardware stack like virtual machines do, they just run the guest OS on top of host OS.
    so because they don’t put resources towards emulating hardware, they are much more resource efficient.
    so if your problem is “I’m running Fedora but I want to run something that for some reason runs just on Ubuntu”, then you could use containers for that.
    containers are mostly used in headless environments (as in servers, no GUI), so running and displaying desktop Linux inside them is a bit tricky, but it can be done.
