As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

Since 2022, source-available models have been gaining popularity, especially at first with BLOOM and LLaMA, though both have restrictions on the field of use. Mistral AI's models Mistral 7B and Mixtral 8x7b have the more permissive Apache License. In January 2025, DeepSeek released DeepSeek R1, a 671-billion-parameter open-weight model that performs comparably to OpenAI o1 but at a much lower cost. Since 2023,... - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

Yeah this would be the wrong sub for that question. My suggestion would be to the XDA Developers forum for your specific phone. If someone has accomplished what you want to do, you're going to find out about it there. Source: almost 2 years ago
Maybe try r/AndroidRoms or r/CustomRoms? Though you're probably just better off at https://forum.xda-developers.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago
Look at xda-developers.com forums on how to install a downloaded official or custom ROM for newer OS. Download official ROMS from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares and search for the latest T-Mobile (TMB) or USA (XAA) one for your exact model #. It may matter if the model ends in a U or U1, but is best to install the U1 model to override the U model to make your phone unbranded and get updates automatically. Or... Source: almost 2 years ago
