So I’ve just found out about Lemmy. (Although I’m a big FOSS enthusiast)

Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it’s minimalism!

    Thx! I’m its original creator, and used it to teach myself android app programming. It also has another core maintainer, mv-gh, who knows much more about android development than me.

    I haven’t had too much time to work on it recently, but its open source so anyone can contribute.

      Thank you for the app. One suggestion: YouTube preview (not the video; just the image)

      That’s right 👍 it doesn’t even do notifications, although I wish it did!

      What 😂 I don’t believe it couldn’t get any more minimalist than this…

        Anything can get more minimal. But it wasn’t my point. My point was that many good FOSS apps are like this (and they’re obviosly significantly more minimal than bloated commercial proprietary garbage that you may compare them with). Jerboa isn’t much unique amongst them.

    Jebora is what sync for Reddit used to be (not the same dev, but similar experience)

    Once I joined Lemmy, dropped sync instantly in favor of jebora mostly because sync wasn’t released yet. When sync finally dropped, I saw my previous paid sub didn’t mean anything that they wanted more money. Small dev, I get it but I do not pay for the same thing twice.

    it seems to keep up with the web ui as far as preferences. i want upvote visible because some people use them instead of short replies but i never need to see downvotes. jeroba is the only app on Android that uses that profile setting.
