Proton mail with a proton account?
Yea? You can only use Proton Account on Proton mail.
I presume you also have a Gmail for your Gmail account
No I don’t use Gmail. I have degoogled device. That Moon+ Pro Reader is 🏴☠️
I know moon+ pro reader but I don’t know how people enjoy reading books on their mobile
reading books on their mobile
I use big screen tablet. It’s better for me.
I use Android as my secondary phone, my primary is an iPhone. Though for the past six months, my use of Android has surpassed iOS as the latter is now only for calls, messages and reading emails. For replying to emails, I use a computer.
I have removed as many Google apps as I could using Canta, as long as the phone is able to boot and function.
The apps, in no particular order (read: the order in which I can recollect):
App Notes Droidify F-Droid client HeliBoard General keyboard Unexpected Keyboard Programmer’s keyboard Fossify Calendar, Gallery, Music Self-explanatory Voyager Lemmy client, although not a native Android app Eternity Native Android Lemmy client, although not as good as Voyager Tubular PeerTube and YouTube client with QoL niceties Calculator++ Calculator with QoL niceties Cromite Chromium based browser with QoL niceties Termux Terminal emulator Rethink DNS + Firewall To block ads and monitor network activity Orbot For accessing TOR Emacs Still setting it up on Android, only to browse my Denote repository (which seems the only way I can browse it on any mobile device) Aurora store To install Apple Music Apple Music To use the music subscription from my primary phone Proton VPN Self-explanatory Bitwarden Password manager P.S.
I finally found a chance to use tables on Lemmy.
I am kinda of curious, why do you use heliboard over swiftkeys?
It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.
I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!
Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.
You can try FUTO keyboard
Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.
How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?
Better than Heliboard by a mile. Privacy oriented Keyboard The autocorrect works well and the crazy part is the voice keyboard. Everything is offline
Thank you. I shall try it out as a secondary general keyboard.
Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.
What do you use instead? Autocorrect is a very big issue with the other keyboards
The tables are actually helpful
I don’t think I even use 10 apps, I use like 3 of them
- Jerboa for Lemmy
- Firefox w/ unlock origin
- WriterP for note taking
- Message/Gmail/other system apps
I’m pretty basic:
- Sync
- Chrome
- Antenna Pod
- Guardian newspaper app
- Google Play Books
- Libby
Why sync over the other lemmy apps?
I like:
- customizable swipe left/right gestures,
- swiping to close a post,
- being able to set the font size of the different parts of the post list,
- different display formats for different communities,
- switching between accounts easily,
- the markdown hints in the editor,
I don’t think any of these are unique. I just like this implementation.
You still using chrome… 😮
not allowed?
Musicolet
Memorion
Comic screen
Lastfm. Vivaldi(In no particular order)
- Threema
- Brave
- Bitwarden (using a self-hosted vaultwarden instance)
- SpMp
- Notesnook
- Voyager
- LocalSend
- DeepL
Why brave browser? They look sketchy because of their crypto affliction
To be honest if you disable crypto stuff in brave it’s a solid browser. I recommend it to those people who are still using chrome .
Yeah but you’re still using Chromium :/
Thousand times better than chrome :-) I don’t use it btw
- Voyager for Lemmy
- AntennaPod
- Firefox
- YouTube ReVanced
- Signal
- Xtra for Twitch
- Thunderbird
- Medito
- KeePassDX
- Aegis 2FA
I see you’re a person with great taste in Android apps. Thanks for introducing me to Medito! I need to chill.
Just curious how people really enjoy twitch. I can’t spend time just watching people play games or doing stuff while I could be doing things
I sometimes watch IRL streamers from parts of the world I’ve never been to. I’ve never been to New York City but due to watching streams from a bike messenger I feel like I know the city quite well.
That’s actually nice
- Jerboa
- Firefox
- Feedly
- Home Assistant
- Ghost Commander
- Joplin
- Moon+ Reader Pro
- Avenza
- Kodi
- Twilight
Honorable mentions to Newpipe and Termux.
Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don’t render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.
Compared to any browsing experience without uBlock, Firefox wins by a very large margin.
The only browser that supports proper extensions such as Ublock origin (which is much more advanced than the built-in adblockers in other browsers).
I disagree about the UX but that is probably just my preference. I use Facebook marketplace sometimes and it seems fully functional, no jumping around or whatever. Every now and then I have to use desktop mode but only on like government sites. Maybe it’s because I use an ad blocker that I don’t notice the problems you report.

Racoon for lemmy Grayjay for video Antennapod for podcasts
About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon
I have tried one other app which was Jerboa for lemmy but found Racoon easier to use so I stuck with it ever since.
I’m using Thunder.
Racoon for lemmy
This is the 1st time I decided to check about this (I have heard that name before here), after a 1st glance it looks a lot like Boost for Lemmy, and since Boost seems to be the best working client for me at this moment (image and posts load for example is way faster than Summit, Voyager and Eternity), in terms of speed Sync for Lemmy is faster, but it is so broken with my current instance that is not worth to use it anymore.
I might install Raccoon soonish :)
