Voyager. I tried a few others but Voyager has a very slick UI and all the features I want.
wefwef 4 lyfe!!
Same. It was a seamless transition from Apollo (RIP)
Same. Even on android the gestures are better than all others.
Voyager - it was on f droid and it works.
Tesseract because I made it. lol
Jerboa because it’s the closest I have found to RIF other than Liftoff, which no longer works since most instances have updated to 0.19 and above.
The dude working in it had a kid (made an announcement for it) and then hasn’t seemed to work on it since. Which is understandable, I guess. Kids ruin everything. 😩
Isn’t Jerboa an Android native app? I don’t think they have a web app like how Alexandrite or Photon are.
Does it still work pretty well? I tried it for awhile but ran into some issues I can’t remember early on. If I could get close to RIF for Lemmy, my battery would drain a lot quicker
Jerboa has some weird problems very early on, but I don’t really have any now. I’d suggest trying it again.
The only issue I have is that it doesn’t seem to poll for messages/reply notices unless I close and reopen it.
I’m having the same issue with message/reply but otherwise it’s a great app.
I’m still wanting the “marked as read” option though, I’m not a huge fan of having to vote on everything.
Photon because cool design
That’s my go to app for desktop
I use Photon on Android Firefox in light mode. Shocked the hell out of me, too! I use dark mode for everything else.
Alexandrite is the best web front-end for me because of the 2-column view.
Jerboa. Because it’s fully open source and it’s the first one I installed and I have yet to have enough of a problem with it to look for alternatives. (The left-right swipe features are… not a good thing, but they’re not bad enough to make me want to switch.)
Can’t you just turn that off in the settings?
Yes! I didn’t even think to check until now. Thank you, kind stranger!
Yeah, I’m a Jerboa user too. The left-right swipe is my only criticism as well, mainly because it can be sensitive when you’re just trying to scroll up or down.
Hey OP, I love you! I never used a Lemmy WebApp because I see no sense in it, but I tried Photon because of some comments in your post and holy fuck I have missed so much! It’s incredible that I can even have two accounts at the same time from different instances without changing the URL!
glad you like photon! :)
The amount of people not knowing what a “web app” is, is seriously concerning.
Anyway, I tried “old” and Alexandrite, but I just ended up sticking with the default. I find “old” ugly, and on Alexandrite, I couldn’t find my saved posts. Maybe it has been fixed since, but the default one works for me best.
Sync and idk why.
Sync and I was already used to it when I abandoned Reddit.
Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.
Voyager as an iOS pleb
I use Alexandrite on desktop but I’m excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.
For mobile I’m using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I’ve tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it’s incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it’s missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).
Boost on Android. Used it for reddit, use it for Lemmy now that it swapped over.
I don’t
I use mobile clients and occasionally the main interface
Yeah, switching web apps seems like way too much work. I use a mobile app on my phone and the regular web app on my computer.
