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.

I feel like you should split this into sections by OS.
Android
iOS
Yes please. I would love to find a Unix Lemmy app so I can browse on Ubuntu
Liftoff has one
https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/, filter by "Open source"?
But does that guarantee there is no ads or anything in those apps ?

Liftoff seems unmaintained and is incompatible with a lot of updated servers/features
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.
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.
And i use a keyboard that was abadoned for 2 years and bought back.
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.
I have put a note on that app that it doesn't work for instances running 0.19.0 or higher
But still for some it works.

Summit is FOSS? Their github page is just a readme and prebuilt APKs.
I might have to do some research someone told me in one of the threada
That was me. My mistake.
There is awesome-lemmy and the lemmy-apps megathread, I don't think there is a need to duplicate efforts.
One does have closed source app and the other is on git. Not exactly what i am making .
Yeah, but i don't think these are meaningful differences.
I think there is a place for this on lemmy
Voyager is available for ios. Iām using it rn. Dunno if you had a reason to exclude it.
Will include it
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.
Possible. No idea, honestly. It works well on ios though.

Other*
Anti-features*
And you don't put a space before a comma.
Fix your title.
Ok grammer nerd but thanks i guess.

Thunder is on play store and app store.
Thunder is awesome
Most of these are already on https://join-lemmy.org/apps , and if any aren't, you should do a PR to add them.
Whats a PR ?
Anyone got a recommendation for an android app that supports site emojis?

Is it ad free ?
Yes? Where do you see ads? It's fully open source and run by many Lemmy instances as an alternative UI. For example: https://old.lemmy.world/
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?)
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.
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.
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.
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 š
Otherwise eternity is the best of the 6 or so that I have tried.
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...
I have just been doing it wrong for years š
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!
