I’m thinking of making a sub called blind android users.(self.Blind)

Not a bad idea, but there aren't many blind people on Reddit. Your sub would be pretty empty. Unfortunately a lot of blind people are still using mailing groups. I hate them, they fill up my inbox, but most seem to prefer them. There was a pretty active one I was a part of once.

Yeah, I understand that. It was just an idea, if a lot of people say yes to it I’ll make it, but if not it’s not a big deal.

For what it worth, I'm an Android user and I would definitely join.

Thanks! If more people say yes, I’ll make it.
If I get maybe five yeses, then I will do it. It will be small, but hopefully packed with a lot of information.
I’m not exactly new to android, but I’ve not used it in a while. I’m going to be buying an android phone in a couple of weeks and trading in my Apple SE 2020.
this is what I would want if I were starting out with android.

Why? There are plenty of us here, plus there is the discord.
bradley222 points1y ago
I’m confused, aren’t you an Apple user? I didn’t think the braille on android was that good, is it?
As for why, I think it would be a good idea to have all the actual information in one place.

No, I am on Android as I had said on the other thread. Bsi on Android is actally probably better than on iOS.
bradley222 points1y ago
Oh ok. That’s cool!

I didn't even know Android had braille screen input. That's one of the main reasons me and my friend group uses iOS. I think Voiceover is way superior to Android, though I haven't used Android besides exploring Talkback so maybe I'm a creature of habit

I'm a blind Android user but I wouldn't join.
No disrespect, but the reason I come to r/Blind isn't for the tech discussions, it's because you're the only other blind people I know. I'm here because you understand me. There's an emotional connection we share. A shared life experience. Solidarity. The heartfelt posts on r/Blind have always been my favorite ones. Discussing smart phone operating systems just doesn't interest me.
