i’m beginning to suspect the devs in this space are in some secret competition over which of them can get us to say the silliest words with complete sincerity

As a former boost user, I'm waiting for Boost for Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I'm on android but I've tried a bunch (connect, summit, wefwef, another I forget) but I think Jerboa is the best. Seems the most functional by far. Can't wait for boost, though.

I miss the left-right scrolling navigation of bacon reader 😭

I just want to view one post and it's comments at a time and swipe left and right to switch between posts. Why does no other app do that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tried all of them, liftoff is way better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff was really slow/buggy for me and I think searching for communities was hard

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is pretty awesome. I find it smoother than Jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

After using boost for years the biggest thing I hate about jerboa is that short and long taps on comments is backwards. Drives me nuts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is literally my one and only complaint for jerboa. Its maddening, I need an option to change the short and long taps lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I KEEP LONG PRESSING AND THE UPVOTE/DOWNVOTE BUTTONS DISAPPEAR! WHO WOULD WANT THIS?!

Wish it was on Android :( I've tried a bunch but none of them are great. The closest was wefwef, but being a web app has it's problems. I think I'm going back to Jerboa for now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is really good.

Wait are we talking proprietary software here? What is this, reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We can't talk about proprietary software on Lemmy? 😱

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's fine, I just expected more people on here to be FOSS only (Free and Open Source Software) oriented.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Memmy for my phone, wefwef for the desktop. Best of both worlds

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently gave Connect a try and now I have a new favorite App. The devs working on Lemmy apps are awesome. 😍

Is it native or web app?

Can't stand constantly exiting out of wefwef every time I try to swipe back to the main page

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Memmy is native and wefwef is a web app.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This keeps happening to me and I hate it.

Memmy 4 lyfe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Been on Memmy since the early stages and… damn that development speed!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Does memmy do kbin, though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ngl I think I like wefwef more after using both. Something just feels cleaner about it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using Wefwef up to this point but switched to Memmy since it has blocking of communities and Wefwef doesn’t yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How do i get Memmy? I can't find any way to download it for android.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think at one point they were planning on having an Android version too, but have scrapped it for now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably because Lemmy apps for Android are saturated as hell so they decided to focus on the smaller base

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There are none as good as Memmy though. And none with the design of Apollo (except wefwef, but that's a web app. It's ok, but it causes problems)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

buy an iphone and download it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

sadly the beta is full for ios

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s available in the App Store if you have an iPhone!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

thanks you so much! writing this from the awesome memmy app, a lot better than Mlem, imo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An app "to rule them all" would need to be multiplatform

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is my only grievance with the app, hope it'll come soon! Meanwhile I'm using mlem for multi-instance. Memmy is for leisure-browsing!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

... to rule all iPhones?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just use lemmy.blahaj.zone as a Brave home screen app, the other apps I've tried are either missing features or I don't like how they look

But Boost was my favorite for Reddit so I'm also waiting for that and then I'll see if I stay on the web app or move to Boost or maybe try a new one

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just use lemmy.blahaj.zone as a Brave home screen app

And the best part is that you get to support Brave by mining cryptocurrency for them whenever you use it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have all the crypto stuff disabled. I've seen people say that Brave makes their GPU usage go crazy but they never go into much detail and in those posts there's always half of the comments saying they have the same issue and the other half saying they dont, maybe they have the brave tokens enabled? I don't know much about crypto but I suppose that could be the issue

Anyway I just use it because I saw Brave had a new search engine and I wanted to try it and then I forgot to switch back to whatever I was using before. But I don't have any issues with Brave and I don't have a reason to use a different one right now so I'll keep using Brave for now

Are you all able to upvote comments on Memmy? It’s the one issue I’m having with it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! It has swipe actions. Swipe to the right for up and down vote. Swipe to the left to reply to a comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That was it, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Please accept this upvote, brought to you courtesy of Memmy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Memmy doesn’t load my profile page :(
