No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

I've found Connect for Lemmy to be a great successor to Reddit is Fun

There is Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder. You can upvote/downvote, reply and whatnot by doing side-swipes. Pretty neat.

I second this. Hs been my favorite so far.

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

I use Liftoff and like it. The auto picture loading is great.

I'm using Jerboa, but a version from GitHub. The app in Google Play and F-droid crashes upon being opened... at least on my phone.

📝 Note that the most recent version on GitHub doesn't work too, since it requires a higher platform version of Lemmy. Use a version of Jerboa a bit older if you're using the .world instance of Lemmy.

Dont know who decided to give you a downvote, but correct imho. Older Jerboa works fine but is missing some new features and themes (that I didnt even use yet).

Liftoff is amazing and the two main developers for it have been very active with updates and changes since they forked it from the old Lemmur project.

wefwef is a very slick web-app which follows iOS design guidelines that I also enjoy using. It's easy to install via Safari/Chrome/Firefox on both iOS and Android.

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

Seeing that it was a web app discouraged me but I actually kinda like wefwef coming from jerboa (and especially as a former apollo user)

Wish it had a dark theme thoughh

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

I use Thunder. Actively being developed, tons of new features coming every few days. I get an update almost every day. Works great, looks great.

Liftoff for Android is better than Lemmy imo having tried both, there are less annoying quirks.

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

I'm just sitting here waiting for sync

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

I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff and Connect for Lemmy and so far I like Liftoff best, it's still in beta but you can find it on their GitHub as an apk for Android or via TestFlight for iOS: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff

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

Jerboa is the most mature for now. Using the web ui as a PWA is fairly popular.

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

Seven Android apps for lemmy are listed here (disclaimer: I haven't tried any yet)

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

Oh god yes please. Thanks for asking! I had the same question! I've been trying to browse lemmy.world on Firefox, but the auto updating feed bug is still killing me...

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

Keep an eye out for the upcoming Sync for Lemmy, the dev from Sync for Reddit has agreed to make it and it'll definitely be a winner.
