There are lots of Fediverse apps on @fdroidorg, the free open alternative to Google Play. Some Fediverse apps are exclusive to F-Droid!
Unlike Google Play, F-Droid apps are all free, open source and privacy-friendly.
F-Droid can be installed on any Android phone. It's slightly tricky to install because Google tries to block any alternative app stores. However, once it's been installed it is just as easy to use as Google Play.
There are some simple step-by-step F-Droid installation instructions here:

in reply to Brother West • • •@e_mydata , @nitrokey and @iode all sell their own versions of preinstalled degooglised Android phones.
If you are okay with a less reliable, more experimental phone, you can install several different kinds of Linux on the PinePhone from @PINE64

in reply to FediTips has moved! • • •I think this should be rephrased to avoid building bad security practices.
My suggestion:
"Your phone will warn you that the file is from an untrusted source, which means that Google cannot stop that application from doing harm to your phone. But we can vouch for F-Droid. It's up to you whether you trust us."
