Been using a degoogled LineageOS phone with all apps being exclusively FLOSS. My favourite free alternatives to proprietary apps and services must be Lemmy (Jerboa) for Reddit, ArcaneChat and Matrix (Extera) for Telegram, Fluxer for Discord.

Which ones are your favourite?

              Heliboard
Aves for gallery, Immich for backup/web viewing
antennapod for podcasts
aegis for TOTP
bitwarden for passwords
Gitnex for codeberg
auxio for local music
fennec for browser
findroid for jellyfin
inaturalist for plant and animal recognition (only play store but FOSS)
liftlog for lifting (only play store but FOSS)
local send for file transfer
Openvitals for health data aggregation from health connect (buggy slop app, but it is the best of the, apparently only slop, apps available and gadgetbridge doesn't use phone pedometer and only writes to health connect so can't be used for aggregated data)
Supertonic TTS ( used to be marmalade TTS, better voices, but their last update, also a slop app, made the voice synthesis using the android unusably staticy)
Thunderbird for email
Signal for messaging
Fairscan for scanning (also checking out openscan and OS'S document scanner but they seem unusably slow, like 5-10s for one scan)
Curbox for digital wellbeing (timers, intent, and habit breaking "boops" for apps.
games: shattered pixel dungeon, mindustry, and Huesort
whisper+ for STT

Do you have any workflow to automatically upload to Immich?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

Yup, set backup to on in the app.. That's all there is to it.

sadly, inaturalist needs boogle play services

did you try ironfox ?

Ironfox broke too many websites for me personally. I understand the reason is that it uses heavy anti-data collection and privacy settings, but it was a little overkill for daily browsing. I ended up settling on Fennec too.

for those who think of trying ironfox
there are "protection overrides" under settings > ironfox settings, to help with site breakages
