A mobile client for Lemmy running on iOS and Android
founded 1 year ago

But you don't actually know what code is running on a given lemmy server. Just because the source is open, doesn't mean that any given server is using the reference implementation, admins could be running whatever they want on their backend.
That's why it's imperative that the app which communicates with the server via Lemmy's api, IS open and auditable. That's how we prevent maligned actors from using data they shouldn't have. You can audit what is being sent from an open source app.
