❤️🔥 🎇 It’s finally here! And it will live on my home screen just like Apollo used to do. 🔥 ❤️🔥
Just spreading this news in case you’re like me and late to the good news :)
You're viewing a single thread.
angry android noises
Try: Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Thunder, wefwef, etc.
Sync is coming next month too.
And you can install any of them right now without waiting for them to be approved on the store.
Of the ones I mentioned only thunder isn't in the play store yet.
Don't forget Connect.
Really good
Ironically I posted the comment from connect....
I'm currently waiting for some of these to make it to Fdroid, it's just jerboa on there so far (which I like!)
Liftoff is pretty good so far but I'm excited for boost because that was my favourite Reddit client. You can use obtanium to install it from GitHub releases and keep it up to date, I find it just as convenient as F-droid.
Thanks for both recommendations, I've read about obtainium before but never needed to use it. It's good!
So far I like liftoff as well. Nice to have several good options (already!)
Some are on izzydroid if you're willing to add a repo.
Liftoff is there too. I like Jerboa but I felt there were too many bugs/crashes just now. Liftoff isn't the best looking but its the most dependable imo.
You rock! Thanks!!
Lemmotif is also looking good but is newer and less feature rich last I checked. There's probably a couple newer ones that's in forgetting.
Oh, Artemis is coming soon and also supports kbin which is rare as their api isn't finished yet.
We've got a bajillion of them, and unlike iOS, you didn't need to wait for it to hit the Apple Store.
iOS allows you to install beta apps via TestFlight. And we have a bunch already not including wefwef.
Which technically doesn’t even get installed because it’s one of these new fancy no-download apps!
Won’t go back to android for their vulnerabilities and Google’s spyware and I won’t be goin back to Reddit
staying in a closed sourced platform is more vulnerable. though I'm running a custom android rom
This
Not at all true.
how? justify your reasoning? being on apple who have one of the largest user base, you are more vulnerable for cyberattacks. you said you left google because of Google spying on you. how come apple won't do that?
Oy vey, no man…
Android is the most heavily used OS in the world. The best thing I’m gonna recommend instead of listing all the reasons is to point you to lists of Android vulnerabilities (public info because OSINT is life) vs iOS vulns over time.
Apple may spy on us! But nothing near as severe as google has in the past (and we’re caught for) like when google chrome was listening in on user microphones. Never heard of such a scandal with Apple before.
And for the record I think Apple is over priced and a cult 🤠
well, i use firefox that too a fork which is mull browser developed by divestos, which is more hardened. on custom rom (fully open source android os) i have option to which app to install. so no default chrome browser for me. i don't even use default youtube app. where in apple all your browsers use same safari engine (Where's is your choice when all those different browsers are same) apple in the past had many privacy issues, like giving backdoor to FBI, when they tried to snoop into your phone gallery, but backed down when public enraged over it. when half your data stays in a centralised cloud platform. that's why people like Snowden uses an android that too running custom android os.
here's a video about how iphone isn't a privacy centric phone
You bring up some really good points - you’re never going to be more secure than using stuff that you’ve put together and coded. And even then you are still yourself vulnerable to making mistakes, ignorance of a topic, etc so there is still risk of course.
Ultimately I left android because the vulns for the consumer grade stuff were more frequent than Apples.
It’s just not feasible for me (and I’m assuming many others) to take the time and patience to setup custom images and hardware and everything else to get to the 99.99% secure point. The 80-90% I have now over what I had on end user android builds is just fine
boost for reddit dev looks like they released a boost for lemmy
It's been announced that it's coming, but it's not released yet. I'm not sure if there's an expected release date
Thanks so much!!
I’m sure android has alternatives already. I always feel like iOS gets the popular apps later than android. :(
I never head of memmy. Don't worry Android has lots of good Lemmy apps
I'm happy to report there are several android apps getting daily updates at the moment.
Right?! Lol
