I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

These are the apps I'm using rn. So far i like thunder, connect and liftoff.

[-] rtsuya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

out of all those you are testing which one would you say has the closest UI to reddit is fun?

[-] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can you link lemming? That's the only one i can't see to find

[-] stechuskaktus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hi, I'm the developer of Lemming. You can find it here: lemmy.world/c/lemming_app.

It is pretty hidden to be fair, it won't pop up on Google even if I write the app name + dev name + GitHub lol.

[-] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I couldn't find it at all even after adding GitHub at the end lol

So I am using lift off but how do you upvote posts from other instances ? It says unable to upvote coz youre not signed into lemmy.ml. Is there a way to upvote post from other instances?

I am pretty sure that you can upvote most of the stuff on instances you don't have an account for. However some instances require you to apply for an account rather than just singing up (eg Beehaw was like that for me). An admin has to manually click a button for you to become a member. In those cases you can not just upvote or comment on one of those instances without an account. I think it's to prevent a flood of bots on some of the instances. Not entirely sure if I got it right, though!

Would be nice to upvote and comment on post from other instance.

[-] WidowsFavoriteSon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Those three are my picks as well.

[-] xaxl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thunder has a really weird swipe mechanic to voting that doesn't seem to work very reliability for me unfortunately currently.

You swipe the comment to the right and a thing pops up. It's unclear when it is downvoting or upvoting because what it then does doesn't seem to match the one you selected.

Liftoff has been my favorite so far!

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
