grocy-android VS Tusky

Grocy: Self-hosted Grocery Management (version 3.4.2): ERP beyond your fridge, now on your phone – An awesome companion app for grocy

Not using them personally, but I guess Barcode Buddy and Grocy Android both do exactly that (and more).

I know there is Grocy but it requires a self hosted instance... I just want a normal heading and list app (reminder is bonus), Currently i am using Lists it does all except it no longer actively developed and doesn't have Material You theme...

Seems like there wasn't a release/tag made for 3.0, but the android build manifest was updated with a new version. That is what's being checked by fdroid in case of the grocy app. There seems to be a changelog (raw), but I'm not sure it's complete, since no official release was being made. Since nightlys seem to exist now, maybe fdroid needs to adjust their auto-update mode, but that's just my observation.

Grocy: Self-hosted Groceries Management (version 3.0.0): ERP beyond your fridge, now on your phone – An awesome companion app for Grocy

Even with https://github.com/patzly/grocy-android?

I wanted to run grocy on my phone (android) without running my own server and being able to use it completely offline. The devs of the android-app mentioned that implementing offline transactions is a lot of work and therefore, understandably, not a priority and in this issue someone advised to use termux to set up grocy locally, so I made the attempt to run grocy through termux. Eventually I succeeded but termux has some peculiarities in comparison to a proper linux terminal, so the Installation guide was only a rough guideline.

If you're using an older version of app there was an issue when scanning grocycode with an external scanner or manually entering grocycode (https://github.com/patzly/grocy-android/issues/472) that was fixed in version 2.1.0.

Just stumbled upon the Android app[1] while randomly browsing F-Droid and thought I'd share the project as a whole. Kind of a bummer that the Android app doesn't support having a local database, but it's a very cool concept regardless.

Tusky (version 24.0): A multi account client for the social network Mastodon

For Android, one option is Tusky.

Mastodon itself doesn't, but maybe he's referring to Tusky, a popular FOSS Mastodon client, preventing its users from logging in with an account tied to an alt-right instance (gab and a few others I think).

They used to also filter any content coming from these accounts but I can't it in the code so they must have removed that.

As for the login block itself it's there: https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/blob/01b3cb3a53b1e08ed26e7...

Tusky manages multiple accounts.

You can't in the official app, but you can see them in moshidon, megalodon and tusky. Moshidon and megalodon are both forks of the official app with more features. You should try them out :D

Tusky (version 20.0): A multi account client for the social network Mastodon

I signed onto Fosstodon last week to give Mastodon another try. I found the overall experience to be massively improved (last time I touched it was in 2017) and the recent traction it has gotten puts it well ahead of anything else IMO (I'm also testing out Farcaster and a few other services, but those seem pretty niche/immature in comparison).

While Mastodon is a bit rough around the edges, it has that same sort of excitement to me when I signed onto Twitter back in 2006, and most of those same friends/connections from those early days have been migrating. Based on the numbers floating around, I think it has enough traction now/critical mass to be it's own pretty exciting thing. While a lot of instances will fail, I don't think economic sustainability is actually a showstopper. Patreon, OpenCollective, any number of tools can handle recurrent donations enough to sustain larger instances, and there probably will be some alternative approaches as well. Migrating accounts between Mastodon instances isn't perfect, but is a core built-in feature, so while there's a bit of instance roulette, I don't think it's such a big deal. There are tools like https://fediverse.observer/ that might help for picking. It even has a map view, which is pretty neat: https://fediverse.observer/map

Here's a rough view of ActivityPub growth: https://fediverse.observer/stats

FWIW, I decided early on as I started researching into the current state of the Fediverse/ActivityPub that I should probably run my own instance. There are hosting providers that provide Mastodon hosting (although most of them like Spacebear and Mastohost are oversubscribed), but as I was researching, I decided something like Pleroma or Missykey would be a better fit anyway. There are some forks and I ended up using a fork of Pleroma, Akkoma (since, while a bit involved, it has pretty decent docs for setting up w/ Docker Compose and overall seems like the best-performing of the bunch, and has good support for most Mastodon clients). I was able to repoint my account from the Fosstodon Mastodon instance (which included migrating my followers!) to my new personal Akkoma instance pretty easily (the only wrinkle was setting up webfinger since I decided I wanted my canonical account id to not be a subdomain).

For those looking for a bit of an overview of what the current "Fediverse" landscape looks like, some resources that helped me get started:

For clients btw, I'm using Whalebird https://whalebird.social/ and Sengi https://nicolasconstant.github.io/sengi/ on desktop, and Tusky https://tusky.app/ on mobile.

The official app is pretty good and cross-platform. I use Tusky on Android, and really like it. A couple of other tech instances are
