Fedilab LITE version -- link Correction !

I did the two posts above from Fedilab Lite, which still not very familiar with it.

The LITE version page at F-Droid is on this location : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.fedilab.lite/

The Lite version is *NOT* listed at Google Play at this moment, or at least I can't find it on a search or under the author's other programmes page.

Compared to the full version, which I haven't used yet, this is less than half the size; might signal it's easier on battery life as well.

Was looking around in the Settings menus, which in the Lite version are simplified. Took some snapshots, my phone uses Portuguese as systems language.

Interesting, was able to increase maximum toot size to 3,000 characters. 👍🤗

Not that I would ever type that mu h on mobile, but it's the first client I tried that allows it, other than the mastodon web client, which gets the instance settings perfectly.

It looks nice, I would recommend it, and it does other Fedi tasks like video and music sharing too.

The counter on the bottom. Of the editor area already shows me near 600 characters on this post, and it's not. Locking me from sending it. YEY!

And a good reporter should try out things, so here I am... Via Fedilab Lite, which I just discovered on F-Droid. 👍😏

It seems nice and this is smaller version, 12 MB download only.

** Important Note -- TRANSLATION support, handy if you need help with a non native language. Unique, at this point, I believe.

You can get it from the Google Play store, where it COSTS $3.29 USD

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fedilab.android

OR -- you can get it FREE of charge, donnations accepted, from F-Droid :

https://f-droid.org/packages/fr.gouv.etalab.mastodon/

F-Droid is easiest if you install their client app - from there you will have access to many interesting and clean Open Source Apps.

You CAN get an apk from their page, and Side Load on your device if desired. Android 5 minimum version required.

Loved the group. Back when music was more than the sound you heard, album art being trippy like this.

More great album art.

And then, once you isntalled and start using it for the first time, in a few minutes a crash. 😞

...and you realize you FORGOT the cautious ways of sys admin people who rather not be trying to Fix What Ain't Broken.

A good thing to keep in mind.

Was using ~14% processor power without any Android app in use at the time - just for BlueStacks environment. That is lots.
