I know the correct answer is to stop using Facebook, but there's a couple communities I follow for certain updates I can't get anywhere else.

Is there a good third party open source app for Android?

Just use your browser with an ad blocker activated.

FB intentionally breaks their mobile site so that you have to use the app for most features.

Last time I checked (which, I admit, was several years ago), it was usable for viewing normal posts, which is all the OP wants.

Using Firefox mobile with an ad blocker but it doesn't block Facebook ads or sponsored posts.

Get a private DNS that does it for you. I really don't have any recommendations since I rarely browse the internet when I'm not at home, but I do know it's a thing.

Iirc they're pretty cheap.
