Can someone recommend a good native Linux Lemmy client that's not a lazy Flatpak distribution? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've tried Lemoa: it's truly atrocious to put it mildly. Besides, I couldn't compile it on my GTK3 distro, there is no .deb, and using Flatpak means wasting hundreds of megabytes for what should be a simple, lightweight client. If I want to waste RAM, my browser is already running so I might as well use the web app from my instance.

I've tried Lemonade: the Python code doesn't run (again, GTK4 dependencies), and the Flatpak doesn't even display anything.

Liftoff is Flutter. No thanks...

NeonModem isn't complete.

Servitor is command line. I love the command line, but that's just the wrong environment for this.

Is there really nothing on Linux?

personally i wouldnt use 'lazy' and 'flatpak' together in the same sentance.
but i hear your criticism and i 100% agree about those drawbacks.
