There’s also slide, but it’s very bare bones at the moment. Think you can only really log in and view posts and comments. A lot of copy over from the reddit app which hasn’t been updated yet.
I haven’t used wefwef yet, but I’m on Liftoff right now it’s pretty good. Mlem and Memmy are okay. So far I haven’t really felt like any of edged ahead.
I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.
Sure, Lemmy's mobile website is great if you compare it to the atrocity that is the Reddit mobile website, which is really just an ugly and annoying advertisement for their app. But having a dedicated app for something I use a lot is nice.
It's sad in a way, but I've put Connect into the spot where BaconReader used to be.
Whoever is downvoting the above comment: stop downvoting legitimate questions! Even if you don’t agree with their sentiment , the commenter isn’t a troll or rage baiting.
Seems like some habits are going to follow us from reddit. Downvoting at the drop of a hat is such a miserable shitty thing to do, but many seem wedded to it.
Apps are more customizable. The UI also tends to be better. The web app is fine but i find trying to upvote anything closes a post i just opened. Personally, i like seeing full images of things as I scroll by. So something like a webclient isnt very convenient and rather tedious. I’m using a whole bunch pf userscripts on my desktop to improve the pc experience, apps generally do that for me on android.
In the end, it’s user preference. I prefer Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder atm.
End of an era for me. Had the pro version for 11 years and was using the free before that. Most app screentime every day on my phone. I refuse to install the official reddit app.
Sync for Lemmy is coming too and that’s how I heard of Lemmy! Excited to be on a fresh internet community, feels nostalgic in a way even though it’s brand new
