Just heard of Lemmy today
I would love to leave reddit
Whats most privacy respecting android app for Lemmy ?
I use Eternity
Me too… and its awesome…
I just use jerboa it’s foss.
Thanks just installed it I appreciate the link
Yep. I’ve tried other clients, but somehow this one just stuck for me. Simple interface, works well.
I would recommend any of the open source apps, my personal recommendation is Eternity.

You can find it on f-droid.
Voyager is on both platforms, Jebora is only for Android, both are pure open source so you have full privacy and anonymity.
I can’t imagine that any app that currently exists gives a shit about exploiting your data. Lemmy is too young for that to really be a problem.
The real problem is that nothing on lemmy is private because of it’s federated design. There have been some discussions the last few weeks talking about this, but just about every interaction you do is broadcasted out to every instance, and its social media so of course anyone can see what you post. Things like viewed posts and saved content should stay on your instances server, but assume every other action is public.
Dont use your real name on the good internet
The instance I joined didn’t even require an email at the time. They have a long way to go if they want to be the next Facebook lol
Agreed. Although The Fediverse also can’t easily be searched via your standard search engines, so finding that public information is harder than on other social media apps (for now…).
This isn’t to say there isn’t a privacy concern using any Fediverse Social media platform. It’s just that there are some inherent design implementations that make it hard for the average person to invade the privacy of a user of the platform.
This is, of course, afaik. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.
It can be searched just fine, Googled my tag to see where I get hits, and quite a few are Lemmy comments.
Search currently kinda sucks actually inside the fediverse. I tried to find one of those posts before making the comment but gave up because it was worthless.
I’d imagine it’s only a matter of time until someone makes something better, and 3rd parties start mining it. Or we’ll get that nefarious third party with a server just ingesting all our data to sell off.
Eternity
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.
Every FOSS app and browser website
I’m a Voyager user since when it was wefwef.
I heard about
boostand it looks promising. It even has a dedicated community on lemmy.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy
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.

Liftoff is pretty decent
This is all opinions here, so I’m just saying that Sync is the only one I know that’s closed source.
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
Liftoff
