**>- If any app ( regardless of the platform they are in ) you know of that is fully FOSS and doesn't have any ads , tracking or any other anti features that didn't make the list it is a mistake and you can dm me and i will add it. The same goes for apps that are not really FOSS or have anti features , Even though i have tried my best some mistakes could've been made or if the newer updates of one of the apps listed made it unworthy to be included in the list , the platform it listed on isn't available for it or the link is broken you can dm me and i will remove/fix it.

I feel like you should split this into sections by OS.

Android

jerboa
etc

iOS

memmy
etc

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Yes please. I would love to find a Unix Lemmy app so I can browse on Ubuntu

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Liftoff has one

[-] Blaze@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 months ago

https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/, filter by "Open source"?

Liftoff seems unmaintained and is incompatible with a lot of updated servers/features

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 months ago

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.

Summit is FOSS? Their github page is just a readme and prebuilt APKs.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 3 points 3 months ago

I might have to do some research someone told me in one of the threada

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

That was me. My mistake.

[-] wiki_me@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

There is awesome-lemmy and the lemmy-apps megathread, I don't think there is a need to duplicate efforts.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 2 points 3 months ago

One does have closed source app and the other is on git. Not exactly what i am making .

[-] wiki_me@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but i don't think these are meaningful differences.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

I think there is a place for this on lemmy

[-] M137@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ads*
Other*
Anti-features*
And you don't put a space before a comma.

Fix your title.

Thunder is on play store and app store.

[-] mod_pp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Thunder is awesome

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 7 points 3 months ago

Voyager is available for ios. I‘m using it rn. Dunno if you had a reason to exclude it.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 5 points 3 months ago

Will include it

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 2 months ago

Possible. No idea, honestly. It works well on ios though.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Most of these are already on https://join-lemmy.org/apps , and if any aren't, you should do a PR to add them.

Anyone got a recommendation for an android app that supports site emojis?

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 4 points 3 months ago

Jerboa does support emojis

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?)

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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...
