New To Android? What Apps to Choose? - Blåhaj Lemmy

I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs). Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app. What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration) etc should I install? I’m paralysed by choice. Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out suggestions.

lemdroid’s main community doesn’t allow personal questions AFIAK

It didn’t, but since there is less activity than reddit’s r/android the rule was designed for, the mods decided to relax that rule.

In the long-term if the community gets huge and it becomes problematic the rule will go back into effect
