Voyager for lemmy is now on F-droid! You don't need to setup a third party repo as its in the main repo

Edit: I'll just stick to Jeroba for now as the Voyager UI is painful for me personally

Any app that is Foss is going to be way better in terms of privacy and freedom.

That's a little too wishful of a statement, freedom is guaranteed of course, but there is no rule that free software will be more private just by virtue of having its code be open. For instance many free apps will still include analytics (proprietary or not), it's not the case with this one luckily

With free (freedom) apps you can always manually remove what you don't like. If the developer or company dies or loses interest you can take over development (or your friend can)

Yes, you can do that, I just meant to say that privacy is not a given, no one stops from working towards it yourself
