I’m trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there’s a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I’m not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

Libre software is used as a synonim for free (as in freedom) software, which is open source software with some nuances. Do you plan to open source it?
Unfortunately I am not planning on open sourcing the app. Summit is a fun side project for me. I think open sourcing the project would no longer make it a fun side project so I am keeping it closed source for my own selfish enjoyment.
Wouldn’t it be more fun if multiple people help you out and it may still be maintained if you stop working on it?
Darn, I didn’t want to debate this on a Monday morning. I’ll give a tl;dr about my thoughts to avoid a debate:
First of all I 100% support open source software (I even donate monthly to some projects), but I also think every developer should have the right to choose to open source or close source their own software.
Second, I write code full time as my job 8 hours a day for the past decade. Summit is a fun hobby for me. If I made Summit open source, it would end up more in the job territory. Why would I want to make a fun project into a job?
If you love debating and want to discuss further feel free to slide into my DMs.
I mostly use open-source software for the last few years but I would still support closed-source software if it’s by an individual developer.
Cool. I am an individual developer. I did use to open source things when I was younger https://github.com/idunnololz.
