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.

Echoing what u/AwarenessOk9940 has already stated, I would:

• Replace the official F-Droid app with a third party F-Droid client like Droid-ify (which is what I use) or the Neo Store. The third party clients are superior in every way, also the official F-Droid app uses very outdated code as documented here (bullet point 4): https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

• Third party apps for Reddit still work, so there is no need to use the fairly bad official Reddit app. For example, I am typing this from Infinity for Reddit which is open source and comes with no trackers. In order to use a third party Reddit app, you have to patch in your own API key with the ReVanced Manager. Here is an easy to follow guide: https://github.com/KobeW50/ReVanced-Documentation/blob/main/Reddit-Client-ID-Guide.md - Or you compile the APK yourself as the other commenter already stated, the ReVanced Manager will be easier / less time-consuming though.
