When not using Google Play services (e.g. GrapheneOS, LineageOS users), Signal can be a real battery drain. Molly with UnifiedPush on the other hand is extremely battery efficient.

Here’s how to set this up, using Nextcloud as the UnifiedPush provider.

    Right, but Molly saying they can be installed on the same device alongside Signal is kind of confusing because it implies they can be USED simultaneously, kind of like Telegram and Telegram X. But this is not the case as far as I understand.

        I tried every way I could find but every path I took in the setup process of Molly told me to scan a QR code, but how tf do I scan a QR code with my phone, that is shown on my phone’s screen. So I gave up. I really tried to make Molly a linked device. 🤷‍♂️ If anybody has the exact process for this, please hit me with a reply. Would love to try Molly on the side of Signal proper, without losing Signal as the main app/device.

            Really though? 😆 I guess that’s what I gotta do. (I won’t btw.) But what if I didn’t have another camera lol. This whole setup would fail miserably. Just let me have a link I can click as well. 💀

              You can use scrcpy or similar to mirror your phone screen, and/or take a screenshot
