It can also happen with apps from the main repo. If the app is reproducible (about 5% so far, most new apps) then F-Droid will use the developer signature.

It hasn't had a real release in about 5 years though. It uses a very old API so it's slightly buggy.

I've been using Unexpected Keyboard lately instead. It's the only modern keyboard I've found that has stuff like control and function keys. It uses swiping on keys to get more characters though, so it takes some getting used to. I had to set the swipe distance higher so I don't have as many typos.

Most states in the US have separate lower minimum wages for tipped workers, with a federal minimum of $2.13/hour.

Schildichat for now. I like some stuff in Fluffychat better, but I find it's a bit buggy.

I like Fedilab. It's open source and supports other accounts like Pixelfed, Peertube, Friendica, and is planning to add Calckey. I also like how it has colored lines to show deeper threads.

I've also tried out Tusky and a couple of forks of the offical app like Moshidon and Megalodon and they all seem pretty good.

About 20k are probably from hexbear, which migrated from their own distant fork of lemmy to the current version, so now they show up in a lot of trackers. They still haven't enabled federation yet though.

None of the options are that great right now. I still mostly use Jerboa, and go to the PWA for things that don't work. Other android apps you can check out are thunder that has an alpha out, memmy which only has an iOS beta so far, but plans to be cross-platform, and lemmur which is outdated and is incompatible with current lemmy, although there's a fork with more recent development so it could possibly come back at some point.

The app is still an alpha, so you sort of already are? It's all open source so you can explore the git repository, report bugs, or build it yourself if you really want to.

They both do try to do roughly the same thing. If you go to another Mastodon website and try to follow, reply, etc. it will redirect you to do that on your mastodon instance.

For Mastodon there's FediAct or Mastodon - Simplified Federation.

For now the app only searches communities that have already been federated. Until someone fixes that you need to use the website to find new communities and search through posts.

For now there's a bug in the app that doesn't let you subscribe to communities that haven't been federated. Until they fix it you have to go to the website if nobody here searched for it from the site yet.

I searched for !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz now though so you should be able to subscribe through the app.

They work fine on the browser, but for now relative links don't work in Jerboa. I'd assume they don't work for people connecting through Mastodon or other software either.

It's just a formatting thing, like the @ in an email address. It makes it easier to tell apart users @kholdstayr@lemmy.dbzer0.com vs. communities !div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

One correction/clarification and some tips:

For example, say you’re in lemmy.ml and you realized that stable_diffusion is in lemmy.dbzer0.com. To access it, simply add lemmy.dbzer0.com at the end of the url. So

https://lemmy.ml/c/stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

For now this seems only work if the community has already been federated. The first subscriber needs to use the search with either the !stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com format or the community's url. Make sure you have "all" selected so that it's not just searching locally. Then the search results usually show "No results" even if it's syncing in the background. After it's been federated it'll show up in searches, in the communities list, and will work with those /c/ style links. The UI for federating new communities definitely needs a bunch of work.

To find and subscribe to communities go to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities, then selecting 'All' to look through any that are already federated. If you want to find more, https://browse.feddit.de/ has a mostly complete list of communities. Just watch out though, because it includes instances that are blocked from most sites for obvious reasons.

A few instances I've found centered around various topics:

https://slrpnk.net - Solarpunk

https://mander.xyz - Science

https://programming.dev - Programming

https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech - Pop Music

https://pathfinder.social - Pathfinder/Starfinder TTRPGs

https://sub.wetshaving.social - Wet Shaving

https://pawb.social - Furry

https://lemmy.studio - Music

There's more for other topics, but a lot of them don't have any moderation policies listed so I'm not going to recommend them yet. There's also a bunch of general purpose instances, as well as location based ones.

One thing that a lot of people find confusing is how there can be multiple communities with the same name, just hosted on different sites. In those cases it's not a single community viewed in two places. For example !technology@lemmy.ml and !technology@beehaw.org are two separate communities that both exist, and you can subscribe to either or both. Each will have different rules, mods, posts and comments. The full name of a community includes the domain, sort of like an email address.

I'd also recommend people change their default settings to 'Subscribed' so it's not just showing the posts hosted here. You might also want to set sorting to 'Hot', since 'Active' tends to show the same threads for days at a time as long as people keep posting in them.

Right now the federation with kbin.social seems to be broken since they added cloudflare protection. We probably need to wait for them to remove that before communities there can be federated.
