That’s the trouble with bringing federated service to normal people, except for maybe email they all equate 1 app/website to 1 owner/company. With Lemmy.ml being the default (they’re the people who maintain Lemmy, after all) and being quite ban-happy and perhaps even propagandistic, I bet a large amount of would-be Lemmy users get turned off pretty quickly. Probably also doesn’t help that some people will tell people “it doesn’t matter, just pick any random server” when it comes to getting people over their reservations regarding federated services. They might up thinking that criticising China is banned all across the Lemmyverse.
Apparently according to another user it just became open source.
I assumed it wasn’t because there was no mention of it on their website+it being on Google Play (not really a condemnation but most Open source software is GitHub first).

jerboa defaults to .ml
Indeed, but Jerboa is probably not the most recommended client, those are Voyager, Sync, Boost, Thunder, Summit.
Never seen summit before, seems interesting.
Too bad it’s not Open-source.Absolutely incorrect, it IS Open-source since last month.I really like Thunder, it’s probably my favourite but sadly its a bit too buggy for my liking.
Of those I’d recommend Voyager. Currently using it as we speak. It’s not the most customizable, but works great.
Summit became open source very recently https://lemmy.world/post/27182708
It is, where did you find it’s not? https://github.com/idunnololz/summit
Lots of updates recently on [email protected]
Ooooh interesting.

Thanks for that! I’ll check it out.
That makes sense, thank you!
@[email protected] , I know you’re off Lemmy at the moment, but FYI
So, just to let you know that I installed Summit, love it, and it already replaced Voyager lolol. Thank you so much, this is cleeeeean. (⌐■_■)
Not sure when you tried Thunder last, but it’s been very stable for me for quite a while on both Android and iOS.
because it’s developed by Lemmy devs (i.e. people behind the .ml)
