Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply

Voyager for Lemmy is really good, and FOSS (github.com)

Dropping this recommendation because I’ve been looking for a reasonably good iOS Lemmy app for a year. They’ve all been bad (IMO), but this is so far the closest to how good Apollo for Reddit was, in terms of features and polish. It is also FOSS which is great. I haven’t tried the Android version, but since the apps seem to just be containers for the web app (vger.app), I imagine it’s just as good over there.

The one feature I noticed missing is user avatars.

I don’t know the developer or anything. Just glad to not have to use the browser to use Hexbear.

One dumb question, the only thing that keep me from using Voyager is that the interface looks a lot like any Iphone app, it does look like that in Android?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

There's an option in Themes to change to an "Android" mode which helps a bit, but it still looks iOS-y with that bottom bar.

But it was based on Apollo which was made with the explicit purpose of being as stock Apple looking as possible so it's no surprise. It doesn't bother me at all.
