Summit. Chose at random
- Boost on old (2013) android phone. very convenient coming from RedReader on android
- Voyager on recent android phone. it’s good but kinda slow because it’s web-based
- Arctic on iOS (iPod Touch 7G). Mlem doesn’t support iOS 15, Voyager is slow/doesn’t fit small screen properly
Thunder. It was the first I found when leaving Reddit and it had been a good experience so I’ve not looked at other ones.
Blorp. Don’t know why, just felt right at home with the UI and design.
Summit. It’s a little buggy sometimes but I really enjoy the ui.
I’ve been on Summit for a bit, but it doesn’t seem to have push notifications, or if it does I can’t make them work, so I’m thinking about switching back to Boost. I prefer the appearance of Summit, though.
Eternity. I used Infinity for reddit and it’s the best UI and FOSS
Is Eternity still maintained? On fdroid the last version is from 2 years ago.
I don’t think it is and it sucks because I’m so used to swipe to go back.
I don’t think it is, but it still works.
Except a specific image format, I’m not sure which one. But on certain specific images, the whole app hangs for a couple of seconds, and then crashes.
Interesting, the app has never crashed for me.
I have three Lemmy clients on my phone: Blorp, Summit and Voyager. However, I mostly use Voyager. I think it’s the best app for Lemmy that I’ve tried so far. It’s the one I’m most comfortable with.
what does it give you over using your browser to access lemmy on your phone?
On phones, I generally find the usability worse on a browser than on an app.
for most things – yes.
but lemmy is fully functional w/o the apps and why i ask this question – what am i missing by using a browser instead?
i’ve tried the apps myself and couldn’t find a reason to justify keeping it around since most of them keep my user password.
Used to be Memmy for Lemmy. That’s gone, so I’ve been using Arctic and the web.
This just inspired me to download the source code for Memmy for Lemmy. Whether I spend time updating it for personal use or not, at least I have it if I need it. Sorta like how I plan to keep a derivative of Pocket going if I decide Wallabag isn’t enough (also code available on github).
uazo/cromite on my phone and qutebrowser on my laptop
the website, because it works the same as on my computer
Summit, it’s the closest replacement for Sync I’ve found.
Jerboa, I was using Eternity by Bazalansky (Eternity is Infinity for Reddit but for… Lemmy) but it hasn’t been updated continuously, and I already had Jerboa as backup app just in case and it’s from the lemmy devs so it’s (for me) guaranteed to keep up with lemmy development
Voyager because it was the first one I tried.
Second for me but the one I’ve stuck with
Same. I haven’t grown out of it and it’s doing literally everything I want it to.
Voyager because Interstellar doesn’t work well for me.
