What’s the best app to use with Lemmy? I’ve downloaded Thunder, but just wondering if it’s a good app or are there better ones out there? Edit: Thank you all for your advice! I will try out the various recommendations and see what works best for me.
I like Voyager. It’s very close to RES.
Some instances collect data btw. This place is a data mine, but so is every other place and most instances aren’t ran by corporations. There are ways to tell exactly what you personally upvote and downvote. Anyone can have access to that info though, it’s not sold.
For some reason I don’t see images uploaded to feddit.org instance or by users from that instance.
Idk if it’s something to do with the app or my account.
From the app? There is an instance, but there is also an app. The app lets you sign into any instance you’re a part of. I’m guessing, not positive, that the instance isn’t federated to feddit.org. Do a search while on the instance and it will come up if it’s not blocked.
Yes.
Edit: Happens on Firefox too wtf
Firewall issue perhaps?
I have some links fail to load while I’m at work unless I use a VPN. Should do all browsing at work from VPN, to be honest.
Happens on different networks so not a firewall issue. I’m wondering if there’s some other blocking involved? Cause it only happens if it is feddit.org users/instances.
That is very weird, I would send a bug report to the developer. I haven’t had any issues.
This is happening on (both stock profile and profile with extensions) Firefox and (stock) Chrome too. And only with feddit.org instances/users.
Thanks for the info! Which instances do you recommend that don’t collect data?
I clicked on the app link on the main page, and it gives a list of apps, some which collext.
I’m not that savvy on the data collection and who does or doesn’t collect. I’ve had an instance admin tell me that they check all of the data on people.
Thanks
Voyager, used to use & prefer Sync but it didn’t keep up with instance upgrades
Jerboa!
I’m also on team Boost. I don’t know if it’s the best, but it didn’t take much to make it feel like RIF (Reddit is fun) which I was already used to.
Thanks, I’ve been looking at them, the only reason I decided against Boost is because it collects data. If I find Thunder to be not so user friendly I’llprobably switch.
Mlem, Arctic, and Voyager for me, very nice apps
Mlem is the best. Arctic is a second, but the dev appears to be mia.
I suppose Voyager but I still use Sync. And don’t call me Newbie
Surley you can’t be serious! ;).
Thunder feels most similar to Relay, which is what I used for Reddit. Honestly, I get the feeling that all of the apps are pretty polished and are customizable enough that you can make one look exactly like the others
Voyager is my go-to
I’ve been using Summit lately and like it so far; the dev is responsive and there are quite a few customization options.
I previously used Sync (now abandoned), Jerboa, and Connect as well. Jerboa didn’t seem quite so customizable, but it was a nice and simple UI.
Thanks!
Eternity. I’ve tried them all and it was the best. Dev is too busy lately to maintain it. So I’m using Connect in the interim.
Really, you just gotta try them all to find the flavor you like best!
Cheers, yeah I edited the title to say that basically, I’ll test them out and see which i prefer.
Used to use Eternity, recently switched to Raccoon. Its pretty good so far but different from Eternity that you have to get use to the different gestures.
There is no best just ones that work well enough for you.
I have used Liftoff, Thunder, and Voyager. I currently use Voyager as Liftoff broke with an API change a while ago and Thunder kept crashing on my Android phone.
As I’ve just read,Thunder is still being tweaked, I’m also on android, and ideally prefer an app that doesn’t collect data. I guess it’ll be trial and error for a while. Thanks.
Boost is best. Lots of customization.
Thank you, much appreciated.
I’m on team Voyager, it seems to support every feature except user names and pfps
Check out Raccoon. Its been pretty good so far. Nicely made.
