Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
Hey! I noticed your title doesn’t match the question in your body text. Could you maybe change that?
Lemmy has completely solved my need for news content when bored. I no longer use Reddit.
What are your top news communities here. It sounds pathetic, but I got to nearly 99% of my news from Reddit.
There are a lot of the same type of communities as reddit, a symptom of so many of us coming over. I looked through my subscribed subs and just searched for fediverse alternatives, they were pretty much all easy to find
i suggest browsing communities with https://lemmyverse.net , https://sub.rehab and https://browse.feddit.de/
whatever will work for you the bestTap communities in the header and filter by “all”
That will show you all of the most popular communities across Lemmy.world, and other sites sharing their content with Lemmy.world
It’s not here, but you can watch the pbs newshour on YouTube for free, or you can stream the audio over your phone (I use spotify, but I’m sure it’s on other platforms too).
Browse lemmy for entertainment, watch the news for information
Same. Haven’t been over there in weeks. I have a few friends that roll their eyes whenever I link to something or say “on Lemmy” when answering a “where did you find this?”
The answer is Voyager.
🫡
+1 for Voyager. It’s had like 6 releases since I installed it, sometimes multiple on the same day. It’s the most polished and complete interface I’ve found on Android and it installs absolutely everywhere on every system because PWA.
Memmy is great too
Voyager, formally Wefwef, is fantastic. It’s like if Apollo and RiF had a baby that’s slowly growing into a fully functional contributing member of society with a mortgage a 2.5 kids.
I second Voyager. I tried Memmy and found it hard to wrangle. I wasn’t sure I’d like a Web app on my home screen but I was mistaken. It’s seamless and feels just like a native app. It’s the perfect transition for Apollo users (RIP).
Same, I originally used Memmy but it’s really buggy, and ever since the lemmy.world hack it’s completely forgotten all of my subscriptions and blocks- so no home feed, and I still have to scroll past communities I find unbearable and that one terminally online self-promo spammer on c/atheism who keeps polluting it with links to his rather angry blog posts.
Same. I read some posts in various communities about how, post-hack, you had to log out and back in at Lemmy.world and that would resolve the fact that even though you appeared to be online in Memmy, you actual were not (as a result I couldn’t post or comment). But that didn’t work. On the flip side, there was no clear login for Memmy and the only thing I could think of was to delete the accounts and set them back up. Except that didn’t work either. Once I deleted my account from Memmy, I could “login” again. So I got mad (lol), jumped to Voyager, created a new account/logged in and that was that. Flippin’ perfect.
Voyager if you’re familiar with Apollo.
It’s so similar to Apollo it makes me happy.
I’m using Lemmy on Connect, I really like it.
I tried a few different ones and also settled on connect. I’m coming from RIF in case you find that relevant.
Is there a plan for RIF to develop something for the lenny verse? I heard they might, but not sure where to keep updated
I believe the RIF dev is working on a client for tildes.
I came from baconreader and it’s very similar in its simple layout. It’s been an easy transition :)
Just to clarify, since there’s a lot of apps named “Connect” on the app store and this seems like a great opportunity for malware authors to hijack people looking for one of these new lemmy apps, do you mean “Connect for Lemmy” by kurononeko?
Yes that’s the one :) Sorry for not being clear.
Yeah I’m here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don’t have a “hot” filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I’m happy to be away from Reddit
I switched from Jerboa to Connect, Connect has been doing well for me so far, I like it.
I did exactly the same. Much better experience personally.
Just switched to Connect from Summit and Jerboa. So far so good. I have it setup closer to what I had with RIF, I switched it to reverse list, and amoled theme and darkened up the comment box color.
I did too, but switched to Liftoff afterwards. I think it’s the best of all those 3.
I like Connect best, followed closely by Voyager.
Same for me. I switch back and forth between them. I just uninstalled Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff today.
I did the same. Jerboa has been broke for me for a while. Liftoff looks really nice but I get a terrible stutter when scrolling the feed.
Hello there. If you’re not a bot, can you please mark your account accordingly? Thank you :)
How do I do that? I am not seeing I Am Not A Bot in the settings anywhere.
It should be a checkbox on your settings page.
Ahh, I think I just found it on the website on the computer. It indeed was checked Bot Account which I never checked. I couldn’t find the option using the Connect app.
I’d recommend voyager first it’s what I’ve been mostly using and since I started there’s been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It’s been pretty incredible to see! There’s also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I’ve been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

I tried to use that feature but it looks like reddit has broken two factor auth on their website. I literally can no longer login through a web browser like the tools instructions say to do.
Jerboa and Liftoff.
Never able to post using Jerboa. It does not even load comments. SMH.
On Connect and Liftoff rn.
Funny, Jerboa is the only app with which I can actually post new threads.
Yeah I haven’t had any problems with jerboa so far. So great we have these choice available though isn’t it!
Currently using Liftoff.
100% full agree.
(posted by Liftoff while laying in my bed :p)
Liftoff for f-droid FTW! 🥳
Voyager is what I use, a web app. You can use it as https://m.lemmy.world and is a very easy URL to remember. Moreover, at work the proxies filters do not block it!
I’m using Jerboa.
You can check this compilation of Lemmy apps.
I personally prefer Jerboa and Thunder. I think I like Jerboa more currently. Neither are perfect. Missing some features, missing more customization, and has bugs here and there. They are getting better and better though!
I am waiting to see if the Slide fork really happens as I used to love that for Reddit before it got abandoned.
Slide
the slide fork happened already, and it’s in this repository https://github.com/bqv/slide but its still far from finished
Little rough around the edges, but preparing for smooth sailing
