Android clients

Your options in aftermarket OS fall in to 3 categories imao

1. those that support relocking the bootloader (grapheme,calyx,divest, other smaller projects maybe)

2. vanilla roms with signature spoofing permission so that you can have microg on them. Some even come with microg preinstalled (/e/,lode,Los4mg) And some are gmscomat compatible (voltage,awaken,spark). There are plenty but they don't care about signed images and relocking.

3. some unofficial build from any of the above from a maintainer that cares to sign his own images so that you can relock your BL as your device supports it.

Channels and groups are not encrypted in tg. Like this community we now chatting is not encrypted. I dont see anything wrong in that. For the tg encryption security audit , i think its beyond the purpuse of the channel i made so idc.

Telegram is not google. The clients are open source. And there are degoogled clients on fdroid. And eitherway you can access the channel from any browser without the need of an account

If anyone can suggest a telegram alternative that can be publicly accessed without an account,can use tags and create a media and text preview from the providing link I'll be more than happy to use that instead

I used telegram after thought

Matrix does not have search filter. Actually does not have any search at all in groups

Also there is no way categorise messages by any mean

In telegram I just add a # in the post Then Users tap on the # and all related messages appear

Easy

And fast

That would require a lot more work. The idea behind the channel is to have an instant share and categorisation of an app I and other found and want to share and then use the related channel group to comment about it

Google bans new acounts that never used in official playstore before

Use a spare gmail acount that you have also used with playstore

Anonymus logins also get rate limits or get banned

As for alternative

App lounge from /e/ OS uses auroraOSS Gstore api to download from playstore so it's basically like using aurora

Other than that the are Python scripts you could use on termux but those also need a proper gmail account

Same apply to linux/windows programs available

I always used my "normal" google account in Aurora also been using this account with microg since ages Never had an issue I don't care if the account gets banned though.

Maybe appkmirror is the only other "sane" option.
