Unofficial, FOSS-friendly fork of the original Telegram client for Android - Mercurygram/Mercurygram

Yes this is a Telegram client and yes it will break the Lemmy’s downvote world record but I still find this one very nice and “actively” maintained. There are not many good Telegram FOSS forks without Google integrations and similar stuff out there.

    1. Materialgram is for desktop and this one is for Android.
    2. Mercurygram is based on the Telegram FOSS project that removes proprietary bits from the client, making it more privacy-respecting.
    3. Mercurygram adds some new features that stock Telegram doesn’t have (though idk anything about them because I’m not a power user).
