I actually noticed recently that it’s no longer maintained so I’ll have to find another desktop solution.

You don’t have to be far left to not want to make a space for bigotry. People are deciding for themselves that they want nothing to do with right wing instances - nothing you can do about it.
Virtual buttons on a touch screen just feels like an artifact of an earlier generation of phone games. I have friends that play a lot of Tetris on mobile and all of their modern non-foss tetris games use swipe controls.
The UI of Blockinger leaves a lot to be desired. The ability to swipe to interact would be a huge improvement over the buttons taking up half the screen.
Mods here may not appreciate this post since it’s pretty off topic, but I’m sure glad to have seen this!
Just upgraded to 0.0.36 from fdroid (likely Izzy repo because I doubt fdroid was that fast compiling this newest version released yesterday) and I’m having the same issue. Can’t get my home page to show me anything but local/new. Suppose I’ll be downgrading until they get it fixed.
For me at least jerboa isn’t really functional for searching for new communities, let alone instances. You’re better off in your mobile browser. And even then you’ll only find instances that are already federated with your home instance (meaning someone on you home instance will have had to search and subscribe to one of the communities on the instance you’re trying to find). Your best bet for finding instances is actually outside websites like https://join-lemmy.org/instances or other websites dedicated to listing and sorting instances.
On desktop I use Tildes. It’s fairly minimalistic in terms of features, but very smooth and attractive UI. It does what I need with no headaches and looks great doing it. Like many others here I use AntennaPod on mobile.
This is fixed on the new version of the app! You can get it on F-droid with the IzzyOnDroid repo, or build it directly with Obtainium
You can also use Redreader. It’s been my main way of accessing reddit for years and it’s actually the only app (that I know of) with the API exception for being accessibility focused and non-monetized. It’s FOSS and has been ad free forever, although I fear reddit will make them start serving reddit’s ads on the first.
I use Aegis for 2FA and keepassdx for password management. Syncthing keeps everything synced across devices without any effort on my part.
Haha you aren’t alone in using bromite for months without noticing it’s no longer maintained.
+1 for bromite-buildtools https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools
On mobile I use bromite-buildtools maintained by Uazo on github. I’ve read they were involved with bromite when it was still actively maintained and have been continuing to improve it and keep it up to date with chromium upstream. I use Obtainium to keep it updated since it’s not on fdroid or Izzy.

On desktop I keep it simple with FF and ublock
I’ve played a good bit of FTL and never felt like I knew what I was doing.
