Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps
Using connect here too. Really enjoy using it.
The amount of features is insane! Mark as read on scroll, blocking instances, etc are super useful!
Amen! Very happy with the app too :)
It has been fixed in v0.97
My only gripe is pinch zooming in on images/moving the image around backs me out of the image
Jerboa on Android is pretty solid imo
Happy with Jerboa so far. Excited for Sync to come back as a Lemmy app.
Try connect as well, made the switch yesterday and already loving the new features
Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It’s fanatastic. It’s far, far better than a browser experience as well.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.
In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.
I grabbed liftoff after reading about the early access when using web interface. I’m sure it is missing some features, but it does “just work”, so I’m pretty happy with it.
I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo
What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.
On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome… Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.
I was using Connect until I have found that there are trackers(via DuckDuckGo app) in it from Facebook. Trackers are common in apps, but if there are options available which give same experience without trackers, I will choose those options.
This is probably not true. The app collects zero info according to the dev, the privacy policy, and the app store. The dev has stated that the trackers are from the sites you visit, not Connect itself
Is there a possibility that DuckDuckGo got it wrong? Or is the Meta already trying to track users from threads which is present on fediverse? Latter seems unlikely but who knows.
Here’s the dev comment on the matter
I will install Connect again and see if it still gets detected on DuckDuckGo having hidden trackers.
Developer’s comment on the matter
That’s untrue I installed Connect and used it for 5min. Stayed only in app and didn’t click on any third-party article link, here is the result: 47 trackers in 5 mins
I mean read the Privacy Policy unless the dev is lying, which i doubt since he seems cool, there is nothing to worry about
Yeah all good I don’t want to suspect the dev either but since there are bunch of alternatives available, I’d opt for them than this one. I loved how Connect was the first one to try and implement the swipe between posts feature. Hope it keep doing well in the future.
Give wefwef.app a try in your mobile browser.
What exactly is the problem with browser. Do people just have a high expectation of a platform, or am I just too used to the browser experience?
I think it may be down to the UI, for example I preferred Relay for Reddit over the other offerings because the UI just felt more natural to me and that of course always going to be down to the individual user

Sad wall garden noises…

My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don’t like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.
It’ll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.
I know I’m (probably?) weird.
Yup, mobile Firefox runs beautifully and has all the features of the desktop version. I don’t see a reason to get an app tbh.
I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.
LESS is more.
I’m not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.
The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here… it’s lemmy.
This isn’t reddit. There isn’t a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I’d guess if there’s the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.
There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.
Posting from Thunder from Android, loving it!
I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!
Unless there’s some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I’m fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the “no ads” experience.
I didn’t use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!
The gamechanging functionality for me was being able to log in. Mobile, desktop, whatever. I click login, use my credentials, it says “logged in” and then asks me to log in again and warns down the right side of the website that I’m not logged in.
Using an app, I can actually log the fuck in.
That’s fair. I’m definitely having to log in every couple days.
But I’m also not on Lemmy as often / continuously as I was on reddit. That’s been a nice change for me.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll and a more usable layout. The website works ok, but there’s lots of room for improvement.
All the stuff at the top on lemmy web page gets turned into buttons on the top and bottom of my phone that I don’t have to scroll up for. Vote buttons are big enough to hit easily. Titles flow on top of Images so I see more than a thumbnail without tapping.
In my experience (large asterisk there), infinite scroll is great until you click a link, then hit back, and it doesn’t resume where you were before so then you have to keep scrolling to get back to where you were before. Maybe the infinite scroll experience is better now than it was in the dark ages of new.reddit.
Pagination just never really bugged me? It gives me a stopping point.
I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.
Does Adnauseum actually work?
Yup
Holy shit… I’ve been clicking around on as many ad-infested websites as possible and mine is completely empty. Are you using firefox?
Chrome at work, Firefox at home.
Not sure what’s going on, but it just doesn’t work for me. Unfortunate :/
Good that it works for you though. Doing your part!
kbin on iOS is my ‘app’ of choice, at least thus far.
kbin on android+firefox is smooth af as well
How many alternatives do you have for kbin on mobile?
There’s one beta app called Artemis and the testing slots for ios are all full. Not sure about android.
I haven’t dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.
