Sync for Lemmy (android)
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year’s subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Same
I’m so happy it’s here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn’t really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
+1 for Liftoff
Is there a way to copy the posted link to an article straight from the feed in Liftoff? When I hit “copy link” it copies the link to the post on lemmy. I do not want this.
I’m another Liftoff user!
I’ve also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I’m using Liftoff a lot.
Idk, i use Eternity (Infinity Fork).
I love eternity! Although it’s probably because I was so used to infinity beforehand.
I tried jerboa and liftoff as well and they were fine, but eternity just has that familiar feel
Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.
Jerboa seems great to me
For me, Sync For Lemmy
Android: Eternity (A Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.) https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
Fuck, I thought I was a mainstream lemmy user and now I find out that using voyager apparently makes me an outsider. :(
Does it? How so? I’m using Voyager as well and I see it mentioned in similar posts as well so not too much of a rarity I guess.
Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.
Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts
We could - but we’re still getting comments here. Why not continue to use this thread and sort by new?
Also - this topic doesn’t even really belong in Asklemmy per the rules. If anything, I’m more inclined to unpin it and return to dealing with posts as needed.
I agree with unpinning entirely, it’s an odd fit

Isnt infinity severely bugged RN ?

So far thunder has been the best client
My problem with it is than when leaving the app for a split second it doesn’t remember where I was the last time. This is especially frustrating when commenting. Infinity doesn’t have this problem. Actually it’s the only app that doesn’t have this problem (except maybe sync)
Also I’ve always always used Infinity so I’m pretty used to it although I have no problems adjusting to other apps.
Infinity is now eternity a new version is out !!
Ah. Forgot that even though I use it rn

Same , but thunder so far was least bugged although the new release has bugs , now liftoff really lifts off !
deleted by creator
Just saw that connect is out too ! They all be getting polished if development goes on!
For me Summit.
I second Summit.
Very active developer, he just released mod tools and multi communities. I spent years browsing Reddit with Relay and felt miserable with every other Lemmy app, but with Summit, I felt right at home.
Really liking thunder, now that it can view profiles and edit comments.
https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.
I’ve got it installed as a PWA (Firefox Android). It’s great but is there any way to get it to open links in my proper browser rather than the web view type thing?
Just installed it. It looks like Apple’s UI, which gives it a kind of uncanny valley on my Android phone. Will use alongside Liftoff until I like one better, thanks for mentioning it!
It’s based on Ionic, I believe and Android UI is on the roadmap.
After having used it for a few hours, I like Wefwef’s Apple design, or at least I like it better than Material You. Material makes me so uncomfortable with its wide spacing and white rounded content tiles. I could get used to this dark mode Apple design style, though it feels strange at first.
Update: I won’t be staying on Wefwef because it keeps causing Firefox Nightly to crash and not saving my spot when I switch apps, and I’m not willing to get the Firefox stable release again because the way it reloads pages every time you switch apps drives me mad.
Also, it seems to cache images so that you can open them immediately upon tapping, rather than having to wait for the image to load after your explicit tap for it to do so. I really liked this at first, but it comes at the cost of taking around eight full seconds to load everything, as compared to one or two seconds with Liftoff and Connect.
I do wish Liftoff and Connect had the compact view with image/link previews that Jerboa and Wefwef have, though.
I installed wefwef via chrome (wich i don’t use, but it’s preinstalled on my Phone) and this way it works fine, very fine.
I also like wefwef the most, so far. But is there a way to hide the posts that i have watched, so that i don’t see 90% of the same content everytime i open lemmy?
You can swipe on posts to reveal more options and one of them is to hide it.
Where are you guys installing this from? Obtanium says it can’t find a suitable release. And it’s not on Play Store or F-Droid.
