Tl;Dr FB sucks, looking for Android client to view friends/pages/groups posts only.

I don't like Facebook, but my main hobby community exists almost exclusively there.

I try to limit my usage to just within the bounds of my hobby, but it is difficult with all of the garbage FB tries to push in my face every time I look at it.

I would love to have a different client for FB that just gives me content on people I'm friends with. No reels, no suggestions, no ads, just friends/pages/groups.

I've seen that there are alternative FB clients for Android, but it's never clear if they offer something like what I want.

Before I spend time evaluating various clients, does anyone already know of one that does what I want?

I know it’s not what you’re asking for but have you tried to encourage your circle to leave Facebook?

I feel these alternative clients are only temporary until Meta decides to do something that ends up breaking these apps.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.
