- So this is how it works as lemmy is an open source no profit project that is built on the open source no corpo project and is built on donations and contributions and devs who respect peivacy and promotes FOSS software. So it is only fair the apps that complies with these ethics and policies must be most promoted and used than apps that tracks or pushes ads.
- So i am going to post some apps and you can suggest some in the comments and it doesn’t need to be good , stable or anything it just have to be fully FOSS and shouldn’t have any ads or tracking . And after the thread is wrapped which will be done after three days i will edit the post and make it a list about these apps and cross post it to appropriate subs
- Rules
- Don’t post duplicates
- To be taken into consideration atleast one other user have to vouch (so i know you are not trolling).
- It can be for any device like Ios,android.etc .you get the idea.
- and please don’t troll people i have nothing to gain from this as i am quite happy with jerboa and official lemmy web page and is solely doing this for the benefit of others and if someone is trolling and you know it please do say so .
Voyager is available for ios. I‘m using it rn. Dunno if you had a reason to exclude it.
Will include it
I’m using it on android but the whole interface is iOS style, I’m guessing it was made for iOS in the first place.
Anyone got a recommendation for an android app that supports site emojis?
Jerboa does support emojis
hell yeah thanks
https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/, filter by “Open source”?
But does that guarantee there is no ads or anything in those apps ?
Removed by mod
Boost also has ads
Removed by mod
Yeah but i am creating a very specific and really curated list ( atleast hopes to ). So can’t take any chances.
memmy

Memmy is built for the community, not for a profit:
Fully open source and transparent; all code is available on GitHub.
Completely funded by our community through donations.
No advertising, no trackers - ever.Added
There is awesome-lemmy and the lemmy-apps megathread, I don’t think there is a need to duplicate efforts.
One does have closed source app and the other is on git. Not exactly what i am making .
Yeah, but i don’t think these are meaningful differences.
I think there is a place for this on lemmy
Thunder is on play store and app store.
Thunder is awesome
I feel like you should split this into sections by OS.
Android
- jerboa
- etc
iOS
- memmy
- etc
Yes please. I would love to find a Unix Lemmy app so I can browse on Ubuntu
Liftoff has one
Liftoff seems unmaintained and is incompatible with a lot of updated servers/features
I know but as they have not officially declared the end of development and certain instances such as .world still run 18 i am leaving it there until any change happens.
Liftoff hasn’t been touched for more than 6 months…it’s absolutely abandoned, no need point people in the direction of dead and deprecated apps.
And i use a keyboard that was abadoned for 2 years and bought back.
With the significant difference being that a KB still works for it’s primary purpose even if not actively developed on anymore. Liftoff is completely broken for a lot of the fediverse, so it’s not able to do the only thing a Lemmy app is supposed to do…browse Lemmy instances.
If you insist on keeping broken software on the list, at least make a note that is broken and not currently maintained.
But still for some it works.
I have put a note on that app that it doesn’t work for instances running 0.19.0 or higher
🤦♀️
And which one is the best? I can’t be bothered to try them all. (I’m currently using Eternity, should I switch to something else?)
I can’t answer your question because you gave no context. I think eternity is good personnely but if you are looking for a certain feature then maybe i can recommend something . If you are happy enough just stay on it.
Thanks. I don’t think I’m looking for anything in specific. I’m just always keeping my eyes open. And I don’t know if other clients have more features or other benefits. I get along with Eternity reasonably well but I’m also not set on it. If you say there’s nothing clearly superior, I’ll stay on it.
Jerboa has some mod tools and voyager has better DM UI and post , user earching . But you will miss the costumisation and some side bar features of eternity.
Well eternity is missing the community search feature.
I use jerboa to search a community and then eternity if I search for a post since each doesn’t have the other function 😅
Otherwise eternity is the best of the 6 or so that I have tried.
My Eternity has that feature. If I search for something with the magnifying glass icon, the next screen that opens has 3 tabs: Posts, Communities and Users…
I have just been doing it wrong for years 😂
I always long pressed the floating button and used “go to community” and it would have a suggestion list.
I guess I can delete jerboa!
Most of these are already on https://join-lemmy.org/apps , and if any aren’t, you should do a PR to add them.
Whats a PR ?
Pull request
Oh got it . Thanks
Is it ad free ?
Yes? Where do you see ads? It’s fully open source and run by many Lemmy instances as an alternative UI. For example: https://old.lemmy.world/

Other*
Anti-features*
And you don’t put a space before a comma.Fix your title.
Ok grammer nerd but thanks i guess.

Summit is FOSS? Their github page is just a readme and prebuilt APKs.
I might have to do some research someone told me in one of the threada
That was me. My mistake.
