best app for lemmy? (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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.

I’m using Memmy for iOS. Works fine for me so far.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Also using Memmy. Every now and then I find a bug, but they end up getting patched pretty quickly. I used Apollo before I dropped Reddit, and Memmy feels familiar.

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'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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

Photon is great! It has all the features of lemmy-ui and looks really nice

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Does connect have mark read on scroll? Seems that's missing from boost. :(

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I float between Connect and Boost. Both excellent.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ha, I was going to say jerboa is my favorite so far.

I'm having a different experience, haven't had any bugs and the updates seem to add features/stability without introducing any bugs on my device, I'm also on Android.

What kind of things are making it unusable for you?

I’m quite happy with Avelon

I tried Sync, Boost and many others. They all feel bloated and some have ads. I went back to Jerboa and never looked back. I do miss some features from Sync. Like the advanced search function. But they'll probably come soon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up, trying Voyager now.
