Little File Explorer – ~40KB File Manager for Android 1.0 and Above
Mastodon app is built like that, the release apk is around 3 Mb, ~half of which is resources: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android
Though it's not without compromises — because of Google's stupid policy that "nothing goes into the system unless it needs direct access to privileged or private system components", RecyclerView, ViewPager, and some other basic UI components are still AndroidX libraries that depend on AppCompat for no good reason. I had to fork them to rid them of that dependency: https://github.com/grishka/LiteX

Mastodon's Privacy: Who actually holds your data in Mastodon
I love that Mastodon is decentralized. But as a privacy engineer, I was curious about how their app handles our data compared to what they claim in their privacy policy, so I analyzed their open-source app code in my privacy code scanning tool.
We tried to analyze if the actual application code (which is open-source) actually adheres to the privacy policy as declared by mastodon.social server. Therefore, we ran the Privado privacy scanner on Mastodon’s Android application code.

Signed up for Mastodon today. Have no idea what I'm doing. It's now giving me this error.
this was fixed yesterday, see this issue in the bugtracker: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/298
- "Kotlin has less overhead and is more maintainable." This is subjective. Are you trying to tell me that there are developers who know Kotlin but don't know Java? Shame on them then.
- For me it's easier to develop new features in a language that doesn't try to outsmart me. Are you trying to tell me that there are developers who know Kotlin but don't know Java? Shame on them then.
- "Its easier to develop new features in Kotlin." For me it's easier to develop new features in a language that I've been using for more than a decade, that doesn't try to outsmart me

What's the best way to host an entirely private mastodon server only for myself?
You could try hometown as an alienating server? https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

Is there a way to one-way federate with a Mastodon server? I want to set up a server where users can interact with the rest of the fediverse, but all local posts are only visible to users of the instance
What I'd recommend is that you ask about this on the Hometown github repo (https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown). Open an issue to put in a feature asking for admins to have the ability to restrict all users' posts to local only. I have no idea if Darius, the guy who maintains hometown, will be into the idea, but it can't hurt to ask.

Mastodon needs something between Local and Federated
I have a friend who is advocating for something called Neighborhoods. It's not exactly what you're talking about, but similar. https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/issues/1222

Does tooting Unlisted mean that only other users on your instance can see it?
Hometown is a fork of Mastodon that adds "local only" visibility, which is what you're describing. I hope that Mastodon eventually adopts it because it's extremely useful on smaller, focused instances.

Hometown v "regular" Mastodon
Hometown has two themes (aside from the basic ones that come with Mastodon): fairy-floss and macaron. See here for more info on those themes. I assume one of these two themes is what you are referring to.

Lists [Twitter -> Mastodon] (or de-cluttering Home)
It sounds like what you want is Exclusive Lists, a feature from the Hometown fork of Mastodon, which allows you to define certain lists as "exclusive" meaning that when you add someone to that list, they no longer show up on your Home timeline.

Scaling Mastodon in the Face of an Exodus
"By our best understanding, our major changes are not wanted by the Mastodon project, hence maintaining this fork instead of trying to commit the changes to Mastodon."
