      I wonder, are there any decent open source apps available for IOS? Asking for a friend, an Android envious friend, (actually my wife)

        Yattee, it’s an invidious/piped frontend, so you’ll need to find an instance for one, but it’s on the app store or can be sideloaded.

        There’s that and uYou+/uYou+ extra which needs to be sideloaded via AltStore or other methods, but doesn’t need a piped or invidious instance and accesses YouTube directly

          Apple and FOSS is dedinitely an antithesis but it’s kinda rude to disapprove Apple that heavily, even though I’m a hater too.

      I don’t see the option either. Need more options like this and Piped (Piped has Yattee on iOS).

        If there was a Linux approach to smartphones, I’d be interested. Instead, it’s a choice between two large corporations. And one of them receives the majority of its income from advertising. So that’s why I chose what I perceived to be the lesser of the two evils.

          The lesser of two evils is Android as it’s like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it’s all closed.

          There are Linux phones, like the Pinephone and postmarketOS, but they’re not as polished as Andrpoid and iOS

      Louis says somewhere in a comment on the presentation video that they won’t have (at least for the time being) an iOS app because Apple wouldn’t allow it in the Store, so there’s that.

        Hopefully once the alternative App Stores come about (thanks to EU legislation), it might appear in the future.

        Or web app approach (like Voyager does with Lemmy).

          alternative app stores are only supposed to be in eu

          apple is looking forward to region lock this side loading facility
