MEGATHREAD for fully FOSS lemmy apps without any ads, tracking or any other anti features.

**>- 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.

APPS :

  • Android
  • Jerboa -https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/
  • Web/Pc
  • Photon -https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon

IOS

As this post may not get maintained here is the post which i will always maintain :lemmy.today/post/6716339

Ads*

Anti-features*
And you don’t put a space before a comma.

Fix your title.

THE_MASTERMIND,

Ok grammer nerd but thanks i guess.

LiveLM,

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

THE_MASTERMIND,

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

6daemonbag,

That was me. My mistake.

haui_lemmy,

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

PotatoesFall,

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,

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

THE_MASTERMIND,

Will include it

rufus,

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?)

JustEnoughDucks,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

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,

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…

JustEnoughDucks,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

I have just been doing it wrong for years 😂

I always long pressed the floating button and used “go to community” and it would have a suggestion list.

I guess I can delete jerboa!

rufus,

😆

THE_MASTERMIND,

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,

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, (edited )

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.

dessalines,

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

THE_MASTERMIND,

Whats a PR ?

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    Is it ad free ?

    poVoq,
    @poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

    Yes? Where do you see ads? It’s fully open source and run by many Lemmy instances as an alternative UI. For example: old.lemmy.world

    Lemongrab,

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

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    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,
    @DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

    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.

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    And i use a keyboard that was abadoned for 2 years and bought back.

    DreadPotato,
    @DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

    With the significant difference being that a KB still works for it’s primary purpose even if not actively developed on anymore. Liftoff is completely broken for a lot of the fediverse, so it’s not able to do the only thing a Lemmy app is supposed to do…browse Lemmy instances.

    If you insist on keeping broken software on the list, at least make a note that is broken and not currently maintained.

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    I have put a note on that app that it doesn’t work for instances running 0.19.0 or higher

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    But still for some it works.

    Thunder is on play store and app store.

    Thunder is awesome

    odium,

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

    Android

    • jerboa
    • etc

    iOS

    • memmy
    • etc
    Classy,

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

    Eldritch,

    Liftoff has one

    wiki_me,

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

    THE_MASTERMIND,

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

    wiki_me,

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

    CubitOom,

    I think there is a place for this on lemmy

    Blaze,

    lemmyapps.netlify.app, filter by “Open source”?

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    But does that guarantee there is no ads or anything in those apps ?

    TheAnonymouseJoker,
    @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

    I have not seen ads in FOSS Lemmy apps. Only one that created drama is Sync, and it is closed source with subscriptions and ads.

    THE_MASTERMIND,

    Yeah but i am creating a very specific and really curated list ( atleast hopes to ). So can’t take any chances.

    CubitOom,

    Boost also has ads

    TheAnonymouseJoker,
    @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

    Unfortunate and poetic that Jerboa is inspired from Boost, yet original has ads.
