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.

    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
