Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for an Android Fediverse client that does not send user-agent information (device or client details) to servers. Ideally, it should support both Mastodon and Lemmy, or other Fediverse platforms as well.

Yes that would be an alternative. But I’m looking for a more user friendly client that could achieve the goal.

Not sending a user agent at all is realistically speaking not feasible.

Actually it should be feasible
