I don’t use the Play store (don’t want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.

    1. Lemmy under firefox uses a ton of mobile bandwidth separately from images, maybe because of javascript bloat.

    2. I’m unable to login to Lemmy from mobile firefox (the spinner just keeps spinning), though I can browse without logging in.

    I do like the idea of keeping track of read and unread posts on the client side, so maybe that capability can make it into the app. I.e. I’d like the communities screen to show me for each community, how many posts I haven’t looked at yet. I’d similarly like the community view to show me threads with unread comments. Usenet readers have had this feature since forever and it made Reddit a regression by comparison.
