why not just use your web browser?
Did they not ask for something that wouldn't send UA info?
you can't do http communication with an empty UA string iirc. i assumed they were asking for something generic/non-unique that lets them blend into other users
I just checked, they do send user agent to lemmy server.
For example
final appVersion = getCurrentVersion(removeInternalBuildNumber: true, trimV: true);
return {
'User-Agent': 'Thunder/$appVersion',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
if (account.jwt != null) 'Authorization': 'Bearer ${account.jwt}',
Fair enough. I'm embarrassed that I don't know a protocol as ubiquitous and important as http. Thanks for letting me know. I'm mainly just mad that big corporate web browsers are literally adtech
Yes that would be an alternative. But I’m looking for a more user friendly client that could achieve the goal.
Im not sure how difficult this would be, but couldn't you modify an existing client or make your own? Especially with ai(if you so choose to use) it shouldn't be too difficult(probably).
Thanks for the suggestion but though it might not be difficult, it is still inconvinient
it shouldn’t be too difficult(probably).
Lol
Your best option is to use a browser with fingerprinting protections like Brave. Not sending a user agent at all is realistically speaking not feasible.

Actually it should be feasible
