Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

I’ve looked at wefwef and it looks good, but I just don’t want to use a PWA. I don’t want a middle man between my phone and lemmy. Even if the app creator doesn’t do anything sketchy, it’s just another place for there to be security vulnerabilities.
I know I can self host it, but that just makes my home network more vulnerable, and I don’t really want to go through the trouble of setting that up and maintaining it.
I’ve been using Mlem. It’s very much in the beta phase, but it’s getting significantly better with every update, and it runs on my phone rather than on someone else’s server.
Everything is on someone else's server, unless you are actively committing crime I'm quite sure not a soul gives a shit about your traffic
It's still increased attack surface, also you don't need to be notorious for bad actors to want to steal your info or identity
From your language I assume you are just starting out with security, and it's common to arm up right away and be very cautious. Remember that social engineering is by far the most exploited and successful method, and even if bots are attacking your home network, they're automated and will move on. Simply don't run services at home that are public or exploitable, and if you do use tools like fail2ban. You can self host a vpn or proxy on a cloud instance if you really want to maintain your privacy, but then quantum computers exist now and they can decrypt everything you do on the internet in moments.
