The best android app currently is connect for lemmy
Not available in F droid is no go for me.
I do not know the reason why you don't want to use play store.
There is a play store alternative called Aurora store on f-droid. I installed connect with Aurora store.
It's not because of play store. It's because not being on f-droid generally means an app is not foss. That's why I avoid connect as well.
This may be a stupid question, but how does an app being on Play Store and not F-Droid make it no longer FOSS?
It doesn't make it no longer FOSS. It's just that usually if an app is FOSS it is on f-droid.
You know boost isn't FOSS right?
I'm not Stallman. I make some exceptions and Boost has been one if them.
Gotcha
I find personally Jerboa to be the most stable with the richest feature base currently. Has a ways to go, but jerboa is consistently updated to keep up with Lemmy changes as well.
I think the same.
