Fuck, I thought I was a mainstream lemmy user and now I find out that using voyager apparently makes me an outsider. :(

Not sure if same on iPhone but wefwef.app is great on android. Tried jerboa, connect and liftoff, this one is a pwa and it works quite well.

+1 for Liftoff. I've got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.

On iOS the one I’ve come to prefer is Memmy. Tried liftoff and was not a big fan. Kept defaulting to Memmy without thinking.

Will be checking out Wefwef/Voyager as I like to e idea of PWA vs a full app install.

Edit: installed wefwef/Voyager. This is going to be the daily driver from now on. Able to login to every instance (exception being Lemmy.world getting connection errors.) Colors are fantastically readable in dark mode. Still poking. Around but loving it.

Well the app is currently in the earlier phases of development but i think more people should know that there is currently an attempt at porting slide for reddit to lemmy. here is the releases from the repository https://github.com/bqv/slide/releases, but its very early in development

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

Wefwef. Mlem is showing promise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them

Are you trying to restart the lemmy app war? We finally just rid ourselves of the constant memes.

Typing this 11 days after the initial question was asked and things have changed a lot since.

I've tried two apps: voyager (used to be called wefwef) and memmy.

Voyager has one problem for me on iOS 15.7: When I tap and hold an image no menu shows up, and I have no way of directly sharing an image. I can only share the link, but I don't want to do that. So if i want to share memes directly with friends and family I can't do that. I've tried to explain the problem in github but it seems like it's not a high priority and difficult for them to reproduce. I wonder if this is rooted on voyager being a web app.

Memmy on the other hand has made great progress and for me is the winner because it allows to share the images directly like I used to in apollo. They've now fixed the swipe to close gesture being too harsh, and thus I have what I need.

Here's what happens on voyager when I tap and hold an image I want to share: https://files.catbox.moe/ypz37b.mp4

I've tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I'm aware.

Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

I use Infinity for reddit and am now using infinity for lemmy, I like the familiarity and with a bit more work it will probably become the standard android lemmy app. Having said that I liked jerboa and still use it too.

New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.

  1. It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.

It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.

Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?

  1. May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

Anyone?

FYI Connect seems to be pretty unoptimised: https://lemmy.world/post/953025

RN I'm using Jerboa until Sync comes out

Android user here. Liftoff is unmatched in terms of its visual presentation.

Not out yet, but the (IMO) unquestionably best Reddit app, Boost, is currently being ported to Lemmy - follow here for updates: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
