Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
I can understand why you’d be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.
Yes I agree, fellow human
Infinity for lemmy is coming along really nice!
Found one on F-droid but it is a fork of the original one. Is it made by the same dev?
Yeah a fork, it’s not the same dev.
I have about 6 installed. Connect is good. Liking Infinity right now. Jerboa is really good, but I like to have comments sorted by top as a default which is doesn’t do…yet.
Really, I’m waiting for Boost, but likely jump between a few for now.
So I have to ask why was this post which asked what is a decent client for Debian removed (per rule #3):
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1681507
while at the same time this “What’s the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?” is not removed? Is it because the moderator created this thread & thus /above the law/, in effect?
The moderator got tired of deleting multiple threads a day about mobile apps and as a compromise created this topic. It’s technically outside of the rules of the community but we only have so much mod bandwidth.
I removed the Debian thread because it’s about using Lemmy, a question that fits better in a support community (or a OS-specific community) rather than here. If you’d like to start a topic discussing interfaces, go for it.
So yes, at the end of the day, a moderator call based on the community rules and trying to do what’s best for this community. Believe me, there are far better ways to get a power kick than modding this community.
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
Sync for Lemmy (android)
deleted by creator
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
I’m so happy it’s here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.
I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn’t really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year’s subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Same
The fact that there is an ad version at all as a UI front end to an ad free FOSS back-end is a bit shameful. People buy it because they want to get rid of the ads. If they just sold the software with no free with ad version then they would be acceptable.
It’s not about the cost. It’s the principle of the matter.
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I’m on a pixel 7 pro so it’s not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I’ve been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it’s got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you’d like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it’s not a big enough issue at all
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
I’m also partial to Sync. It’s impressive how much of the UX was kept in making the transition to the Fediverse. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the previous Reddit client and the current Lemmy client
Sssw
Sync or jerboa
Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store
I’m really liking Memmy on iOS. It takes some inspiration from Apollo.
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.
