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.
Jerboa on mobile, the website on desktop.
Boost for Lemmy
Eternity
Connect
Connect for lemmy, reminds me of rif
Wef wef I think? That’s what the app says on my phone.
Wefwef was the original name for Voyager. If it’s still named that, it simply means you’re using the browser-based PWA instead of the actual App Store app. Not a huge difference between the two, except that the PWA isn’t technically “installed” on your phone in the traditional sense.
I think that was the OG name for Voyager lol
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.
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.
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.
I swapped from Sync to Summit and have been loving it. The dev’s super responsive too, which is a big plus.
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
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
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
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.
Voyager
Extremely happy with Voyager.
