Hello! I recently just released a Lemmy reader app for open beta. I’ve been working on the app since the black out about a week ago.
The app is will very much a work in progress however the core reader functionality should be working. I will continue to work on the app and estimate it will likely like a month before all core features will be implemented.
That being said, I’ve been having a lot of trouble browsing Lemmy on web and I still think the app is an upgrade over the raw web experience.
If anyone is interested please give the app a try and let me know what you think!
Here’s a quick demo as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MMpMHwzTuII
Update
I started a community at https://lemmy.world/c/summit. I will try to post frequent updates there.
Because google exerts centralizing control over things. Where i live here in the US if you are not on the play store you may as well not exist. I am led to understand that in much of the eastern world such as china having multiple app stores and such is quite common. I personally choose not to use services from these large companies firstly to limit their abuse of my data, and secondly because most of these companies are american and must bow the knee to the american governmyth to continue to exist. The internet was made to not have a central point of failure, yet what would happen if Google, AWS, and Microsoft all just vanished? Complete chaos would happen over much of the internet and the largest impact would be to western companies.
I see. Over here in Europe we use multiple stores too. As for the data collection, I personally don’t really care much, I’m not a criminal nor am I an important individual, so they don’t really care about me to begin with.
And yea, the internet would be quite fun if they all suddenly died
Oh they absolutely do care, you’re exactly who they want the data from. The “average person” is a goldmine for data collection. They profit massively from your existence and you should definitely care at least a little about that.
Eh, I don’t see how it affects me as a person. Like, I wouldn’t even care if they knew when I took a shit and if they measured it even.
I fail to see how it could affect my life so to say.
That’s sad. You should have higher standards man. The world would be much better if we all did.
I just enjoy the easy things lately, Google does make a lot of things easier. I did however remove everything Facebook related
That makes sense. Can you post close sourced apps on fdroid? If so I can definitely post the app there. I just don’t want to make the open source decision rn.
No, fdroid is only for free and open source apps.
