  • The only paid app that I have is Moon+ Reader Pro.

    I read a boatload of ebooks on my device, and this has been my ebook-reader of choice for a while. I found it to be so good that I did the IAP, and stopped using Librera Reader.

    For all that matters, I am a huge supporter of FOSS apps (that’s the reason I have only one paid app lol) - but Moon+ reader Pro beats Librera in two areas - Librera is pretty slow when it tries to open a huge file, and Librera also can’t download book covers like Moon+ does.


  • Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.

    As someone else said in this thread, I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

    The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.

    I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.




  • I am also a former Jerboa user and although I kinda liked it - the sole reason that I moved away from it was the lack of a proper search feature (It is already well-known that the Search bar in Jerboa is basically only for communities; Jerboa can’t search for posts, comments or users.

    I have lately been using Eternity - and the main reason is that Eternity is a fork of Infinity for Reddit, and Infinity was a complete app by its own merit - so although Eternity is not updated frequently, it is very unlikely that I will miss any essential feature in Eternity for Lemmy.

    Just my 0.02.






  • I do not support providing any more traffic to Reddit (which is why I blowed out my 7 years old account last week) - but there was a time during mid-July when I was still keen on giving Reddit a last chance, and I was exclusively using old reddit with “Old Lander” user script via Tampermonkey, which made it a terrific interface for mobiles.

    You might give it a try

    But in the end fuck spez, and I am a lot more peaceful now after deleting my Fuggit account.

    PS : I did not write Old Lander script, I just found it to be awesome while I was using it.
