I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

    @vinnythegooch9 that’s interesting, I feel the same way but in reverse. I came back to iOS for Apollo, but Relay was my favorite on Android. What do you prefer about Relay?

      Don’t get me wrong, apollo is great. And I am going back to android for other OS reasons, I just like it more. I used it my whole “smartphone life” but wanted to try out ios since I saw a deal on an iphone and don’t use my phone a ton anymore (I used to install custom rims and just sitch devices in general all the time). I decided to switch back to Android after a little under a year with iOS for smaller reasons like customisability, the Google ecosystem all my shit is in, etc… But to answer your question, some of the things I love about relay that no other app does is the built in browser that functions by just swiping down the bar, I used it a lot to go back and forth between an article some content and the actual reddit comments, I also really like the aesthetic of how it separates posts and comments, the swipe gestures are pretty standard, probably some other things I can’t remember but it’s probably just a personal feel.

        This is also something I loved, but unfortunately not something I’ll be able to reproduce in a PWA.

        I am considering doing some kind of native wrapper that allows me to run two separate webviews so that I could do this and distribute it as an APK on the Play Store. I should already be able to distribute the standard PWA version on app stores.

        (Sorry iOS users I don’t have any Apple devices and I’m not going to pay them $100 for the privilege of providing their minority platform value with a free open source app)
