I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that's open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

Part of me feels bad for all of the homegrown Lemmy apps. They won't compare to the reconfigured Reddit apps.

Not entirely true, while I'm a huge fan of Boost and Sync, I'd say that the more options the better.

Different apps for different tastes, just need to remember when Sync made a huge overhaul of the interface, I love the new one, while others couldn't stand it. So LJ made an option to restore the old look of the app.

Is liftoff homegrown?

[–] Aftermath6187@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming it's not a simple port. They'll probably be buggy at first.

I'll use any app that remains FOSS so that likely rules out most reddit apps.
