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.
If Molly is set as a linked device, they can be used on the same phone at the same time.
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.
Take a picture of the code with a webcam or another phone, worked for me.
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
