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.
Voyager works like a charm for me.
Yup. I use the PWA so I don’t even need to install it. Wish this was more widespread.
PWA?
Progressive web app
Voyager, foss, with the auto hide enabled
Auto Hide?
Settings > General > Marking read / hiding
Tah. Hadn’t seen that before.
+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.
do you have issues with redgifs? they don’t work for me on Voyager
I don’t have issues with redgifs. I thought I recalled a setting similar to media player defaults but I can’t find it, so I must’ve been thinking of infinity for reddit.
does it have anything to do with default browser, I wonder? I’m on grapheneOS with vanadium as my browser.
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.
I swapped from Sync to Summit and have been loving it. The dev’s super responsive too, which is a big plus.
It’s not smooth at all, IMO. Lots of visual annoyances which makes it feel stuttery and just bad. Been a Sync user for years and going from that to any other app is just a bad experience… I try all lemmy apps I come across and they either just look bad, no matter how much I change settings or they lack several major things that I just won’t be without. None has come close to feeling like a replacement yet, and it really sucks that it seems Sync is actually dead now.
Plus Summit works with piefed
I came here to say this too, I use voyager but just recently I learned about summit which has fully community moderation abilities
summit is great
Voyager here, can’t complain.
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.
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
It’s closed-source 🤮
Eww
Blah, blah, blah… one Dev. Get a grip.
The dev being alone does not mean they should make it closed source.
For example, Mindustry, which is an open source game, is only developed by one person, Anuke.
And, who knows tf they doing behind the scenes?
That’s why i HATE anything closed-source. Making a software open-source does not have any downsides, it’s free contributions from more experienced people. And it also means people can fork your project if you just can’t do it anymore. Or want to improve it.
it’s not as easy to monetize open-source software, and even solo devs gotta eat.
until UBI gets implemented worldwide, expect people to continue wanting monetary returns on their work.
Meh, I’ve used his app for many years now from when it was for the other shit site.
From my experience trying other apps. Boost is best. I’ll take top quality v. whiny wanker.
Simple Mobile Tools were open source and made by a single dev and then he decided to sell everything to a shady company.
That dev is a traitor.
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
Jerboa. Made by the Lemmy devs.
Boost for Lemmy since Boost for Reddit was my old app
deleted by creator
Connect for lemmy,
Back button asks if you want to exit the app
Looks just like RIF
Seconded
“Looks just like RIF”
I seriously don’t understand how that’s a positive. RIF always looked and felt like it was badly designed on purpose. Like some shitty thing from the early 2000s. But seeing the shit people do with theming on their phones and other stuff it’s weirdly not surprising, still doesn’t make sense. It’s actually vile looking.
Remember that some really like old reddit for some reason.
While I sort of get it on the desktop, I really not get it on the phone.
I liked Rif and I like this. I’m an old man who has my text messages zoomed in and my wife laughs at me
Thunder. Cross platform, great UI, and now has piefed support.
thunder ui just made sense for me
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.
Just Sync
Fun fact. If you search up reddit on android bar sync comes up.
The app is just called sync what used to be Sync for Lemmy. It still says sync for Lemmy on the play store, I’m not sure if that hasn’t been updated or it’s the official name still.
Jerboa on mobile, the website on desktop.
Boost for Lemmy
