I searched up “Lemmy” on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I’ll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs
Edit: I apparently wasn’t clear enough but I was asking for OTHER clients that aren’t on this list X3 but feel free to share why u use an app in this list if u want anyway :3
Jerboah is also very recently updated.
Btw fdroid just builds the apps. It is often better to use the APKs from the release pages of github etc. so that you only need to trust the devs. It is also way better for security as FDroid uses the same signing key for every single app.
Obtainium works okay for that, you enter the URL and it finds a lot of sources. It is completely overcomplicated though.
I’m not sure I agree on the trust thing. I prefer to trust a single source of curated apps, rather than many individual developers. I like to imagine that f-droid would remove a malicious update before it gets to my phone.
Nobody reads the source code of those apps. Thats basically an audit, and it may happen sometimes, but it is not a requirement for F-Droid.
They do some general tests, but the “antifeatures” are either by the officially stated permissions or by opt-in in the F-Droid submission. Creators/packagers often state the reason for the antifeature in the README, which means they are the person placing the tag, or know the process.
Google Play has sometimes good, sometimes bad requirements too. Those APKs are signed by developers, but the final product also by Google afaik, its some mix.
You need to trust the devs anyways, thats the point.
