Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
Hey! I noticed your title doesn’t match the question in your body text. Could you maybe change that?
The answer is Voyager.

I’m on android and just saved it as an app. It fills the whole screen.

I’m also on lemm.ee and voyager/wefwef runs smoothly and is installed like an app
If you’re on an apple device you can have it take up the whole screen. Go to settings> install app and it will walk you through it
It will always be WefWef in my heart
I’ve switched to Memmy for now, seems a bit more stable. Keeping an eye on Voyage.
This first app to allow full screen swipe back will win for me.
I feel like I forgot that was a thing but now I’m sad that I remember. The race is on!
Do I just not know what full screen swipe back means? On Liftoff, Connect and Jerboa I return to the feed by swiping from the left side to the middle of my screen.
Summit does it too. I actually swiped back just to see if it was true. Then grumbled the whole 5 seconds it took to get back.
I’ll never not call it WefWef tho
Memmy is great too
Tip: try sorting by hot instead of active. Gets better results imho. Also Top 6 hours.
Hot show me the hottest 4 yeard old posts. Top day and less is the best.
I’ve heard there’s a bug that can cause old posts to show in Hot if your instance admins haven’t restarted Lemmy in a while.
This should be long fixed. I think people who have been taking about this recently are in instances that are having trouble helping up with traffic? Definitely not sure
Maybe can be, I’m in a relatively small instance (I think less than 600 users).
Huh, hot never seems to show me old posts. It’s not something that should be app specific, right?
Hot has been showing me old posts… today only. really weird.
Oh. I haven’t used it much today so I guess I can’t know.
Sort by New. There’s all sorts of weird stuff popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
Lemmy has completely solved my need for news content when bored. I no longer use Reddit.
What are your top news communities here. It sounds pathetic, but I got to nearly 99% of my news from Reddit.
i suggest browsing communities with https://lemmyverse.net , https://sub.rehab and https://browse.feddit.de/
whatever will work for you the bestThere are a lot of the same type of communities as reddit, a symptom of so many of us coming over. I looked through my subscribed subs and just searched for fediverse alternatives, they were pretty much all easy to find
Tap communities in the header and filter by “all”
That will show you all of the most popular communities across Lemmy.world, and other sites sharing their content with Lemmy.world
It’s not here, but you can watch the pbs newshour on YouTube for free, or you can stream the audio over your phone (I use spotify, but I’m sure it’s on other platforms too).
Browse lemmy for entertainment, watch the news for information
Same. Haven’t been over there in weeks. I have a few friends that roll their eyes whenever I link to something or say “on Lemmy” when answering a “where did you find this?”
I trialled 5 different lemmy apps for Android and IMO Liftoff was the standout best. Looks good, runs smooth and the dev is quick to fix bugs and issue updates.
Liftoff gang represent!

Connect literally deleted one of my comments I think.

Had those problems in liftoff until I removed and re added my account.

I just switched to liftoff from Connect. Immediately liking it more.
The green color in liftoff just does it for me
But I stay for the granular text options that so few have
Haha, that colour is configurable in Settings > Appearance.
There’s some UI work on the way that may help with first impressions.
Maybe my phrasing wasn’t clear. Does it for me = really makes me happy.
I did change it to match my theme/wallpaper which changes every day. Every other app had that but when I enabled it I missed the green so now it stays
Just look at the meme stream in All. How does it look like it’s going? There’s no stopping this train till lemmy.world runs out of disk space. 🤘
Choo choo 🚂
I’d recommend voyager first it’s what I’ve been mostly using and since I started there’s been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It’s been pretty incredible to see! There’s also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I’ve been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

I tried to use that feature but it looks like reddit has broken two factor auth on their website. I literally can no longer login through a web browser like the tools instructions say to do.
Voyager, formally Wefwef, is fantastic. It’s like if Apollo and RiF had a baby that’s slowly growing into a fully functional contributing member of society with a mortgage a 2.5 kids.
I second Voyager. I tried Memmy and found it hard to wrangle. I wasn’t sure I’d like a Web app on my home screen but I was mistaken. It’s seamless and feels just like a native app. It’s the perfect transition for Apollo users (RIP).
Same, I originally used Memmy but it’s really buggy, and ever since the lemmy.world hack it’s completely forgotten all of my subscriptions and blocks- so no home feed, and I still have to scroll past communities I find unbearable and that one terminally online self-promo spammer on c/atheism who keeps polluting it with links to his rather angry blog posts.
Same. I read some posts in various communities about how, post-hack, you had to log out and back in at Lemmy.world and that would resolve the fact that even though you appeared to be online in Memmy, you actual were not (as a result I couldn’t post or comment). But that didn’t work. On the flip side, there was no clear login for Memmy and the only thing I could think of was to delete the accounts and set them back up. Except that didn’t work either. Once I deleted my account from Memmy, I could “login” again. So I got mad (lol), jumped to Voyager, created a new account/logged in and that was that. Flippin’ perfect.
Jerboa and Liftoff.
As a former Boost for Reddit user I’ve been digging Jerboa. Definitely going to check out Boost for Lemmy once it’s available too.
I switch back and forth but liftoff is currently my main. I kinda wish I only picked one because the going back and forth is overwhelming but I love checking out the changes lol.
I wish that I could create communities in the app.
Never able to post using Jerboa. It does not even load comments. SMH.
On Connect and Liftoff rn.
Funny, Jerboa is the only app with which I can actually post new threads.

I’ve tried a few iOS apps but keep coming back to Memmy
Memmy’s my go to, but it’s only on iOS currently and OP is on android
Voyager is what I use, a web app. You can use it as https://m.lemmy.world and is a very easy URL to remember. Moreover, at work the proxies filters do not block it!
I’d just use the officialy hosted one cause the lemmyworld admin has yet to automate updates and voyager updates FAST.
I like Connect best, followed closely by Voyager.
Hello there. If you’re not a bot, can you please mark your account accordingly? Thank you :)
How do I do that? I am not seeing I Am Not A Bot in the settings anywhere.
It should be a checkbox on your settings page.
Ahh, I think I just found it on the website on the computer. It indeed was checked Bot Account which I never checked. I couldn’t find the option using the Connect app.
Same for me. I switch back and forth between them. I just uninstalled Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff today.
I did the same. Jerboa has been broke for me for a while. Liftoff looks really nice but I get a terrible stutter when scrolling the feed.
I’m using Jerboa.
Ribbit
I second liftoff. Just an overall great UI
Connect is the best app rn. Followed closely by liftoff.
