Mobile client for Lemmy, a federated aggregation and discussion platform.
About this app
Raccoon for Lemmy is fully open source, and intends to offer an ad-free and as functional as possible experience on Lemmy.
In this app everyone should feel at home, so great importance is given to localization and customization of the UI.
Main Features:
• view post feed and comments with different listing and sort types;
• possibility to upvote and downvote (with configurable swipe actions);
• community and user detail (with info about moderators/moderated communities);
• user profile with one's own posts, comments and saved items;
• inbox with replies, mentions and direct messages;
• global search with different result types (all, posts, comments, user, communities);
• create and edit new posts (with optional images);
• cross-post contents to other communities;
• reply to post and comments (and edit replies);
• mark posts as read (even while scrolling) and hide read contents;
• custom appearance (color scheme, fonts, text sizes, post layout, etc.);
• custom localization (independent of system settings);
• block users, communities and instances;
• report post and comments to moderators;
• support for multiple accounts with account-specific settings;
• lazy scrolling (referred to as "zombie mode");
• explore all the communities on a given instance in guest mode;
• multi-community (community aggregation);
• view the moderation log;
• community moderation tool (examine and resolve reports, ban users, feature posts in community, block further comments from posts, mark comments as distinguished, remove posts/comments, review all created posts/comments, edit/create community)
• save drafts for posts and comments
• anonymous mode with quick instance switch
• admin tools (purge users/posts/comments/communities, feature posts locally, hide/unhide communities)

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.livefast.eattrash.raccoonforlemmy.android is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.14.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Raccoon for Lemmy first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Raccoon for Lemmy, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Raccoon for Lemmy do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
