Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
Hey! I noticed your title doesn’t match the question in your body text. Could you maybe change that?
I’m really digging Liftoff on Android. Simple and painless.
I’m using Lemmy on Connect, I really like it.
I tried a few different ones and also settled on connect. I’m coming from RIF in case you find that relevant.
Is there a plan for RIF to develop something for the lenny verse? I heard they might, but not sure where to keep updated
I came from baconreader and it’s very similar in its simple layout. It’s been an easy transition :)
Nice! I’m using liftoff and it’s really good so far
Tried both and Connect seems to make a bit more sense to me. But more options is more better!
For sure
Just to clarify, since there’s a lot of apps named “Connect” on the app store and this seems like a great opportunity for malware authors to hijack people looking for one of these new lemmy apps, do you mean “Connect for Lemmy” by kurononeko?
I trialled 5 different lemmy apps for Android and IMO Liftoff was the standout best. Looks good, runs smooth and the dev is quick to fix bugs and issue updates.

Connect literally deleted one of my comments I think.

Had those problems in liftoff until I removed and re added my account.
Connect is a bit better and more stable in my experience, but I’m staying with liftoff due to it being open source. But I miss its continuous vertical bars in the comments. And I miss the per-page scroll and folded comments by default of RiF!
I just switched to liftoff from Connect. Immediately liking it more.
The green color in liftoff just does it for me
But I stay for the granular text options that so few have
Haha, that colour is configurable in Settings > Appearance.
There’s some UI work on the way that May help with first impressions.
Maybe my phrasing wasn’t clear. Does it for me = really makes me happy.
I did change it to match my theme/wallpaper which changes every day. Every other app had that but when I enabled it I missed the green so now it stays
Oh sorry I totally misunderstood! I’m glad you’re enjoying that colour choice then!
Liftoff gang represent!
You can try Memmy. Smoothest for me with daily updates.
Alternating between liftoff and wefwef
I’ve tried a few iOS apps but keep coming back to Memmy
Memmy’s my go to, but it’s only on iOS currently and OP is on android
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot
I have no clue what that bot means.
It means that when you link a community with URL (like https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse), it will not work for people who are not on lemmy.ml, because they won’t be logged in on lemmy.ml. If you link like [email protected], the instances will open the link correctly (so for example I am on lemmings.world, and the link for me will be transformed into https://lemmings.world/c/[email protected] which allows me to interact with the community).

Okay, but I don’t recall even inserting a link into my post. I’m a total noob here and still trying to figure out the jargon, conventions and design of this platform. I probably just need to do some research, but thanks for responding.
It wasn’t replying to you, it was replying to a comment that shared a link.
Welcome. Android or iOS?
Android!
I like Jerboa.
Voyager is great. I tried Jerboa and it wasn’t.
https://lemmyapps.netlify.app has a great list.
The answer is Voyager.

If you’re on an apple device you can have it take up the whole screen. Go to settings> install app and it will walk you through it
Same on Android. I’m running it on Firefox, but probably also works with Chrome.
I’m on android and just saved it as an app. It fills the whole screen.

I’m also on lemm.ee and voyager/wefwef runs smoothly and is installed like an app
deleted by creator
It will always be WefWef in my heart
Memmy is great too
I’ll never not call it WefWef tho
I’ve switched to Memmy for now, seems a bit more stable. Keeping an eye on Voyage.
This first app to allow full screen swipe back will win for me.
Do I just not know what full screen swipe back means? On Liftoff, Connect and Jerboa I return to the feed by swiping from the left side to the middle of my screen.
Nahhhh, Thunder.
+1 for Voyager. It’s had like 6 releases since I installed it, sometimes multiple on the same day. It’s the most polished and complete interface I’ve found on Android and it installs absolutely everywhere on every system because PWA.
Great actually. I think a large portion of Reddit was just bots and shills. I haven’t felt a need to return tbh
I’d recommend voyager first it’s what I’ve been mostly using and since I started there’s been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It’s been pretty incredible to see! There’s also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I’ve been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

I tried to use that feature but it looks like reddit has broken two factor auth on their website. I literally can no longer login through a web browser like the tools instructions say to do.
Summit for Android! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit
Kbin is so goddamn good it’s scary. Reads and posts to both Lemmy and Mastodon, can subscribe by user, community (magazine), or domain. It’s new and still under development, so expect bumps, but it absolutely crushes Reddit once you get your subscriptions set.
I keep bouncing between the two. It’s great to have options!
I like Connect best, followed closely by Voyager.
Same for me. I switch back and forth between them. I just uninstalled Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff today.
Hello there. If you’re not a bot, can you please mark your account accordingly? Thank you :)
