What client do you use for Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Honesty, I am tired of accidentally hitting "back" on my phone and having my feed reset, so I was wondering if any of your clients didn't do that, while also wanting to check out the competition for Sync.

+1 for Voyager. It's my first and so far only client that I've used, having been on infinity for reddit before switching.

I like it. it's smooth, works well, and has fairly granular settings for how to handle "read" posts, gesture controls within posts / comments, and so on.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

do you have issues with redgifs? they don't work for me on Voyager

No love for Summit here? I've tried almost every android app and ended up with this one. Very smooth UI and full of features.

[–] alianne@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I swapped from Sync to Summit and have been loving it. The dev's super responsive too, which is a big plus.

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

I came here to say this too, I use voyager but just recently I learned about summit which has fully community moderation abilities

Boost

Called "Boost for Lemmy". It's great. All kinds of custom options. Integration with instances are really good.

Try it.... give a dollar... It'll be Ad free.

[–] Kevo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I used boost for reddit back when that was a thing. The dev got the lemmy up in like a week, very impressive to me. I give $5 every now and then when I feel like it and remember. I'd recommend the app for sure

[–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (6 children)

It's closed-source 🤮

Eww

Only issue is embed videos don't work rn, I'm currently trying out summit and really like it so far, pressing back does reset your feed to the top though, which is annoying

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Voyager works like a charm for me.

Thunder. Cross platform, great UI, and now has piefed support.

I've used Jerboa for years now, and have the press back twice to exit setting enabled:

My configuration for it is very minimal, to mimic RedReader that I used to use.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

Voyager

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Connect.

I actually want the opposite of what you want. I am used to Jerboa and Liftoff refreshing the front page if you hit back on the main feed. Connect just asks it you want to close it and I have to manually scroll back up to the top to refresh, and its annoying af when I'm hella far down the page.

[–] ArrantKnave@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Scroll down slightly in the feed, hit the ellipses that appears on top and choose refresh? This is how I do it with Connect.

Connect for lemmy,

Back button asks if you want to exit the app

Looks just like RIF

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Extremely happy with Voyager.

[–] FarrellPerks@feddit.uk 14 points 2 months ago

Voyager here, can't complain.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Thunder

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Jerboa. Made by the Lemmy devs.

[–] Ashiggan@eviltoast.org 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Boost for Lemmy since Boost for Reddit was my old app

You know what's nice, we have sooooo many more options than we deserve. Thanks all you devs!

Reddit has one official one that kinda sucks.

Mlem, and I love it.

[–] oxbech 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I second that! It’s great. I tried a few different ones at the start, then tried Mlem and never looked back.

Jerboa gives you a confirmation prompt before exiting, when you press back from the main feed.

[–] be_gt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Jerboa

Voyager

Has sync been updated lately? I left sync because the dev fell off the face of the earth or so it seems but I really miss the long hold to view images.

Firefox

The less apps I have on my phone the better and I mostly browse Lemmy on desktop anyway.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just Sync

I been using Voyager so have felt the back button pain a lot. I installed Blorp just recently but an update seems to have broke it, it's not working for me today.

I just installed Jerboa, there's no back button.

With Piefed's web UI?

It’s how crazy a good UI never gets old. I was using Apollo, now Voyager. Holy cow. It’s been so long I feel old.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Jerboa on mobile, the website on desktop.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Eternity. I don't know the last time the dev has updated this shit but it kinda works. I still love the UI

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Eternity was the one I settled on.

Used jerboa, liftoff, thunder and a few other to name a few.

[–] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Boost for Lemmy

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago

Jerboa, it's got that RIF feel.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Boost works pretty well on my phone.

[–] raptore39@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Sync for lemmy
