Folks— Most Lemmy client apps are on the phone. I am looking for a FOSS phone app that works offline. That is, the phone has no data plan and only occasionally connects to public wifi hotspots. I do not want to be entering login passwords and reading and writing posts when I am connected. Reading and writing posts interactively needs to happen offline. Typical workflow: when I meet people at a bar/cafe, I need the app to sync over the public wi-fi without using my attention. It should post my comments and fetch threads for which I am active, for offline access later. It needs to support multiple accounts spanning multiple instances.

Does anything like this exist? Or do all Lemmy/kbin/mbin phone apps demand your realtime attention when connected?

Thanks for the tip. It needs AOS 8, which blows it for me using my phone. Though it could motivate me to hack AOS onto a Kobo e-reader just to run Blorp.
