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.

I’m not 100% sure if it is what you are looking for but I use Voyager in conjunction with TrackerControl. TC blocks all the trackers.
Although I am curious why on the main screen of TC it says that Voyager contacted one country last week if trackers are blocked.
Apologies if this isn’t what you need, is this am example of a Fediverse client? Is that what you meant?
Ohhh boy, I didn’t realize voyager had trackers?? Where do you find tracker control? EDIT: found it, it’s one word.
From F-Droid:
"What does Voyager offer?
- No trackers or advertisements, ever - Multi-account support - Gesture-driven UI - Compact and large post feed mode - Mark posts as read on scroll - Hide read posts, or hide individually - A beautiful private messages UI - Settings to customize Voyager to your desire - Quick community switcher - Mod tools - Open source: code is available on Github"
Tracker Control blocks requests to domains. When you use Voyager to read an article, Voyager loads the website which might contain trackers. Tracker Control can help block that sort of thing.
Ohhh gotcha. I have Voyager open links externally to my browser which uses Waterfox with Privacy Badger (by EFF) and Port Authority (recommended by ff staff iirc) extensions. Should accomplish the same thing. Man, too tired to think and process when I saw voyager and trackers smh. Thank you!
Voyager app is indeed a Fediverse client. Thanks for your suggestion. Sadly TrackerControl does not block user agent sent to fediverse server.
