Jerboa for Lemmy vs Overchan (fork)
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Jerboa for Lemmy
Jerboa is an app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative. Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.
Overchan (fork)
Mobile application for browsing imageboards. Supports 4chan, krautchan, 8chan, iichan.hk, dobrochan, 2ch (russian dvach) and some others. Some features: * Separate preferences for each imageboard: password for post deletion, HTTP/SSL, proxy * Automatic hide posts and threads using regular expressions * Automatic update all open tabs in background * Sending posts in background * Saving threads with all attachments in HTML with Dollchan * Two ways to display replies to posts: as separate references and as list * Support the tablet interface * Themes This is a fork of the original app https://f-droid.org/packages/nya.miku.wishmaster which is no longer being developed by its author.
