The reason I'm still here instead of there is that I absolutely can't use their official app. I just can't. It's so awful. Lemmy isn't perfect but at least it isn't that. So I do spend less time doom scrolling and that's probably good for me.
@lagomorphlecture @Oppawaifu what is the best lemmy client you think? or overall [[fediverse]] client?
Client as in app? I go back and forth between Connect and Voyager. They both have some benefits and drawbacks but overall I really just want something super simple and plain. I used RIF for so long and it was just to the point and functional. I never had a single issue with it. The lemmy apps will improve though. They've been developed fastly and furiously (haha) but it usually takes a little more time to put something together that's really good.
Yep a month ago the only Lemmy app was Jerboa. Now there are so many and they keep improving. My favorite right now is Liftoff.
Interesting to see you don't like Sync (I don't either, but people seem to like it overall)
I actually haven't tried it but now I'm going to so I know if I dislike it or not. I can't be in the dark on this!
Enjoy ha ha
First impression is that the UI isore customizable and I can get closer to RIF which looks way better to me. I haven't even logged in yet though but at first glance I don't hate it. I guess I need to check liftoff too though.
Liftoff is very solid too
