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.

    AFAIK the apps are rather based on the APIs. And in general APIs usually don’t require a User-Agent header as they return only data, without the html

    Do you know of an app that is setting user agent?

    I guess, pick one that you like and check (check code or network traffic) if it’s setting user-agent header

      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}',
