I use Eternity it’s foss and a fork of infinity for reddit
I feel like I’m on Infinity but was transported to a better version of Reddit.
Just don’t use anything proprietary like Sync or Connect
I use Connect for lemmy. Doesn’t ask for any permissions.
@root @TrippingBalls Connect for lemmy: is it avaiable for android ?
Yup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
This is all opinions here, so I’m just saying that Sync is the only one I know that’s closed source.

Lets up that one and add tor.
On a burner, that I got a homeless guy to buy, in Portugal, which I illegally entered, from Spain, which I also illegally entered.
Finally. I can look at cats and femboys.
😂😂 good one

You could use the website in a webbrowser. Then you don’t have to be concerned about app and app provider.
It’s what I’m using. On mobile too.
@Kissaki @TrippingBalls But are there any working?
Any working what?
I’m using the website of my instance. Lemmy instances typically have their own website you can use - which is exactly or slightly modified versions of the interface of the Lemmy project.
If you trust your instance with your account and its associated data surely you trust it’s website.
@Kissaki I want to know if there is any app (client) which works. Because I have tried some from F-droid and they show login error.
You cannot log in to a Lemmy server from an account hosted on Mastodon. You need to make a Lemmy account to do that.
Otherwise, you can follow Lemmy accounts and rooms from Mastodon, but it will be very janky.
Edit: down voters care to explain why I’m wrong?
You’d think the lesson would have been learned by hive mind drive-by down votes with Reddit. You always know when somebody (actually) can dispute what you say, because they say it!
Open the actual post and you will see various and numerous answers, including mine.

Dunno why you @ me on my comment when I specifically talked about not using an app but the website.
Mastodon accounts automatically add the @

Liftoff is pretty decent

What’s wrong with that word?

But here they are specifically asking for an Android app? How is that not correct?

Do you find its sometimes hard as hell to follow replies? I never remember having that issue with Infinity, yet seem to have it all the time with Eternity.
Yes, the Infinity for Reddit fork.
The cool thing is that I just imported my settings from IFR to Eternity flawlessly.

I was a boost user for reddit, and when it finalized for Lemmy I had to “launch the rocket” 🚀 (get it again) I loved it over there and it is getting awesome here, as for privacy, I honestly don’t know, and I know that is probably the worst thing I could say here. I was so angry with reddit about the greed and all it just felt right to keep supporting boost. I am rather noob to the privacy concerns and I am learning.

it seems like if you are interested in private, Lemmy isn’t really a great place?
It strikes me that the lemiverse is basically self doxximg with no ability to get rid of the data. I mean I don’t really know what gwts logged but it seems like it’s never gone via federation.
There is a big difference between posting in public non confidential stuff and an app tracking all your clicks and likes and device contacts and telemetry
I supposed the topic starter meant the last one
Sync is the absolute best app but I think privacy is probably not great.
But this is Lemmy so you don’t even need to use an email address if you don’t want. You can be semi anonymous and change username often if you want, and change between apps or instances also.
Data is never gone but it’s also not tied to anything real about you.
