Tl;Dr FB sucks, looking for Android client to view friends/pages/groups posts only.

I don’t like Facebook, but my main hobby community exists almost exclusively there.

I try to limit my usage to just within the bounds of my hobby, but it is difficult with all of the garbage FB tries to push in my face every time I look at it.

I would love to have a different client for FB that just gives me content on people I’m friends with. No reels, no suggestions, no ads, just friends/pages/groups.

I’ve seen that there are alternative FB clients for Android, but it’s never clear if they offer something like what I want.

Before I spend time evaluating various clients, does anyone already know of one that does what I want?

      Just tried it, good suggestion! It seems like it’s trying its best to do what I want. Filtering seems to fail sometimes when the page loads more content, but it still helps I think. It’s amazing just how much junk can be filtered out when it works:

        Its great for everything. Instead of downloading every company’s “app”, just add the login page URL and you’ve got them all in virtual desktop with all your web “apps” thats filters most of the shite

        Highly recommend using a VPN for fb tho, they track all ur shit
