APK Availability
Simple question, will there be an available APK to bypass Google Play? And on that note, will Google Play services be required to operate the app?
I use GrapheneOS, and currently only Jerboa meets the criteria (without using microG)
I'm far away from knowledge but shouldn't any FOSS client for lemmy work in your situation? I know liftoff offers the APK also an GitHub.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't believe Liftoff or Thunder require Play Services or microG.

Although, I do love Boost's UI

Probably not since the original did. That'd be quite a big rework, and the dev already has his hands busy transferring it to be a Lemmy app. Play services work on GrapheneOS though, in Apps. Though I assume you don't want to for privacy reasons, which is understandable.
