Hi, !android@lemdro.id community! It’s been exciting seeing the Lemmy apps ecosystem continue to evolve, with all sorts of options emerging. Whether you’re a seasoned resident of the Fediverse or a newcomer, we’d love to hear about your experiences and expectations for the future.
- Which Lemmy apps have you tried?
- Do you have any favourites? If so, what sets them apart from the others?
- Are there upcoming apps you’re looking forward to releasing?
- What other functionality would you like to see from a Lemmy app?
In terms of web apps, I’ve tried:
- Voyager (formerly wefwef)
- Photon
shameless plug
For android apps, I’m waiting for Sync.
Thunder has the best UX out of all apps I’ve tried, and it’s not even close. And I’m fairly certain I’ve tried all of them.
It has good ui, I love it too. But its inability to sort comments on post is dealbreaker for me… or am I missing the updates/features? 😅🙏
For now, I use Liftoff and web-ui…
I’m making a web app at the moment for personal use. So far, you can scroll posts, sort, filter, upvote, downvote, view one comment page, view a user’s posts, view a community’s posts, subscribe / block users and communities… and that’s about it
Ironically, since it doesn’t have the blur NSFW post feature yet, it’s a much better client for browsing NSFW communities than established clients :D
Absolutely not ready for prime time yet; there’s no deployment, you have to build it from source and it you can’t even comment. https://github.com/NatoBoram/Leanish
From the screenshot it looks like you can type in the page number? That’s pretty neat
It’s honestly something I have always wanted from Reddit. You know that moment when you open a post, do stuff, go back and then suddenly you lost your scroll position and you have to go back to where you were and it takes so much time that you just close the app? Yeah, fuck that.
I’m thinking about infinite scrolling in a way that edits the page number automatically so that you can go back even if you reload the page, but it’s definitely not a priority at the moment. I’d rather add basic features like commenting and posting first. And maybe basic mod tools, since it’s always something that third-party apps lack for some reason.
Nice, I look forward to seeing how it comes along! Let me know when it’s more functional and I can also add it to our sticky post.
I have something: https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.world/c/leanish@lemmy.world
There’s no Android build yet since it’s easier to just focus on features first and deployment later, but I do plan on having a SSR build, a PWA build and an Android build.
I’ve tried: Liftoff, WefWef, and Thunder.
Sticking with Liftoff for now as I like the UI more than WefWef while Thunder back gestures not working is a real deal breaker. Have found pros/cons of all of them and none has seemed perfect for me quite yet.
Waiting for Sync, as that was my Reddit app of choice.
Using Jerboa atm
I’ve been using a few myself and keep going back to Jerboa. I’ll keep tooling around but that’s my pick so far as well.
Connect is currently updating so rapidly that it might remain on my phone even after Sync, Boost, and Artemis launch.
It’s pretty remarkable how active development has been for a few apps thus far.
Agreed. I’m loving it.
