best app for lemmy? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Grimy@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The one I'm using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Edit: I'm on android, currently using Jerboa.

Use to use sync a lot but I gotta say summit has been working really really well. The dev is active and has actually fixed a bug I posted about in their community.

I float between Connect and Boost. Both excellent.

haven't seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I've used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don't see in a lot of other apps.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've tried most apps, but I'm perfectly OK with the Firefox on Android web experience for Lemmy.

I've had no complaints about it, it doesn't annoy me about downloading an app like most other mobile websites. So, sometimes, simplicity is best.

[-] Dio@lemy.lol 5 points 1 year ago

I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, "Connect" For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Agreed love connect. I can block both communities and specific people.

Getting rid of all the niche porn and junk articles from certain bots improved user experience a great deal.

Layout is reminiscent to reddit is fun which was my personal fave application. RIP.

It would probably help if you mentioned which app you are having issues with and what device you are using. I recently stopped using Jerboa because of login issues and started using Voyager. I find it's less of a smooth experience but some of the other bugs I had with Jerboa like back spacing removing the space before the previous word aren't present.

Ya it's jerboa, I didn't want to shoot them in the foot in case it's only me. It's also free, so I don't want to complain too much.

It keeps resetting my feed to local active after I scroll past a dozen posts. I do quite enjoy the feel of it though.

Interesting, I've been using jerboa since the great migration,and while it has had its moments, it's overall been a smooth and enjoyable ride. Early on I had an issue like you're describing with the sort types, but not in many versions. 0.0.55 is the latest play store version. Might be worth clearing data and cache and re-logging in if you are already on latest

I'm enjoying liftoff. I'm a former Relay user and this feels closest.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Sadly, Liftoff doesn't work with 0.19 and doesn't look like it's getting any further attention from it's developer.

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

Thanks for the heads up, trying Voyager now.

Thunder! It is

  • FOSS
  • Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
  • Has some neat features that I haven't seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, already supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
  • Very good accessibility
  • and lots more.

Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!

I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect. They all seem fine, but Connect is the one I stuck with.

My rankings based on personal experience and nothing else:

  1. Boost
  2. Liftoff
  3. Thunder
  4. Connect
  5. Lemmotif
  6. Jerboa

I know Lemmy has a general preference for FOSS but Boost just feels like home, and the amount of ads on the free version is tolerable to me.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Note on Liftoff: Dev has apparently vanished and 0.19 doesn't work with it. As more instances update to the newest version of Lemmy, Liftoff becomes more useless. :(

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

For iOS the only one that can do swipe right to go back anywhere on the screen is LiftOff. It’s a crucial feature for me so there are sadly no alternatives.

wefwef/voyager is "not buggy" and i also have thunder
