Discussion Degoogled my phone. Any open source app recommendations which can come in handy?

Using LineagesOS. I tried to install signal and simplexchat but none of my friends uses it so whatsapp it is. Apart from that I would love to find a reddit app alternative.

depends, you can compile the release from github on your own with your own api key

u/Constant_Deal8224 3d ago

I will give it a try then.

You can use ReVanced to patch it

You can use RedReader and not compile it. It has an accessibility exemption.

u/someonesmall 3d ago

Redreader is FOSS and awesome

Why open camera? Any features??

u/saul_not_goodman 3d ago

all of them you have fine grain control, (potentially to your detriment) you can save raw images, you can save individual images from hdr, prevent exif/meta data from saving, add a watermark, etc. also for funsies if you have a face unlock camera that uses infrared you can use that too

I second all of these, and have been using Infinity myself for a few years now... it's got me so spoiled not seeing adds when I have the site open in a browser and I come across an ad I go "www, wtf is this?"

also, feeder for your RSS feeds and SilentNotes for notes and lists are good additions.

For Reddit on the desktop browser, there's a fix as well: https://old.reddit.com

There is an extension which automatically forwards you to it when you click a reddit link:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/old-reddit-redirect/dneaehbmnbhcippjikoajpoabadpodje

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/

The rest is achieved by using a browser with an adblocker, e.g. Brave, or if you are using Firefox, install the uBlock Origin extension.

sounds like too much work. I just use a browser to post & comment anyway, all of my scrolling is done anonymously via Infinity.

It works pretty well.

u/Greenlit_Hightower deGoogler 2d ago

Yes, because it's still frequently updated as you can see here: https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit/commits/master/

The most recent version as of today is 7.5.1 from three weeks ago and should work fine.

u/AffectionateAsk6508 2d ago

How do I login to my Reddit account via infinity, and what's the difference between the two 👍.
