Is the new official Mastodon client worth it? (lemmy.ml)

I'm still using Tusky on Android because it's on F-Droid. As far as I can see, the new official client is not there. Is it worth installing it or not worth the effort since it's not on F-Droid and I can't one-click install it?

What do you recommend?

It feels comfortable, though limited, but still developing. The commit is quite active on Github.

any news on when it's coming on F-Droid?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's already on F-Droid via IzzyOnDroid repository.

This person was mostly asking for the main F-Droid repository and not for that one or other.

Late reply because I didn't know much except someone said "it's on the pipeline" so I don't bother to reply.

I looked to its Github issue about F-Droid package, one refers to this merge request https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/10909

There's discussion about building dependency issue and how the push notification work because the one on IzzyOnDroid marked as dependent on non-free services. It's still being worked on.
