That's stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.

Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems... stupid?

Shit like this is why I use a DeGoogled phone. Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS and use open source apps wherever you can, and sandbox any Google Play apps you have to use (banking, etc).

Try Organic Maps on F-Droid. It seems to have no anti-features and is pretty solid in general.

Well, I originally used Jerboa as it does as well, but with the current version problems I had to do something else until it's fixed.

Yeah, I have two Lemmy accounts (one on Lemmy.ml and one on Lemmy.world, since Lemmy.ml won't let me add nsfw instances to my subscriptions list for whatever reason) and I've had to start using Thunder as my app for Lemmy.world and Jerboa for Lemmy.ml til this whole mess gets sorted out.

F-Droid does their own builds of apps, they don't use APKs released by devs. So updates from them are down to however long they take to get it done. If you want faster updates, you can add the Izzy on Droid Repository to your F-Droid client, as they update from the releases on GitHub and Jerboa is available there as well, and updates more quickly.

Even so, breaking Jerboa app access to every lemmy instance that isn't lemmy.ml is a bit of a big oops. Especially during a period of tons of new users who may not understand what the problem is. Hopefully steps can be taken in the future so that it doesn't happen again.
