    I’d say that your best bet is FreeTube, which got ported to Android back in 2020. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, since I only got ahold of an Android device this month, but it has never let me down.

    It’s available on the IzzyOnDroid repo, and as an APK, so you can install it with F-Droid or Obtainium (or manually).








  • That’s Bluesky. It’s supposed to be a federated social media, but right now there’s only one kind of software for it and you can’t yet self-host it (although you can self-host your data). The open-source protocol, known as AT, was created by Twitter back in the day, and Jack Dorsey and a bunch of staff were able to rescue it when Musk took over.

    AT does not federate with ActivityPub, but users of either protocol can appear on the other using Bridgy; and some Friendica instances have basic support for AT. The equivalent of “fediverse” is “ATmosphere” (with the first two letters capitalised).

    Since it became public (as opposed to invite-only), Dorsey left the platform and went back to Nostr (yet another microblogging platform, this time built around blockchain :-P).

    It’s actually quite a nice place, in my opinion, with a vibe similar to a combination of Twitter and Tumblr.

    Sorry for going into this much detail. I just really like explaining things.

    EDIT: Turns out, the word being thrown around in place of “tweet” was also slang for cum. I have removed it, as this was probably originally a joke.
