Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods
I’m using Jerboa
I recommend trying a few of them out to see which one(s) you like:
- Connect
- Boost
- Jerboa
- Sync
I liked Jerboa, but after a lemmy upgrade, Jerboa took too long to support the new protocol, so I switched to Voyager. I would probably be using Jerboa again noe if there was a simple way of exporting my blocks et al. back to Jerboa.
Unless an app is doing something weird, your blocks should be tied to the account and not the app.
I still use Jerboa. I’m a fan.
I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
I use voyager on android and I’m happy with it so far.
I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.
It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.
Voyager
Voyager gang.
Voyager is good in some ways but I think Mlem is better in a bunch more ways. I really dislike that in voyager when you are typing a comment you can’t pull down to see the thread or anything at all as it tries to delete your comment. Why in the world would I want to delete my comment by pulling down like that? So many apps do that, like YouTube.
I find mlem better in all ways except is has all sorts of annoying haptic actions and weird alerts, but they seem to be attenuating with each update
Many of the third party Reddit apps switched to Lemmy when the API got locked down. I’m using Sync for Lemmy, but there’s plenty others.
See the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
Oops, the one I like is flagged for being closed-source. I followed Boost over from Reddit once they made a Lemmy client.
Anyone know of an android compatible app that lets you tag users? It’s a lockout spec for me; I want to be able to tag the likely trolls so I don’t get sucked into their shenanigans but don’t have to fully block them.
Sync allows user tagging, but it’s a feature of the Ultra version since those tags are stored on sync’s private server. Ultra got a few other perks such as in-app translation, text extraction (from pictures / screenshots) etc., but it’s rather pricey.
I use sync and yeah it’s paid, but I thought it was worth it
I do as well, just wanted to state all the facts.
There’s like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
I’ve tried a few, voyager fits what I need.
https://join-lemmy.org/apps is a better list
many of them are archived, outdated or simply removed. that list needs a total recheck.
Last commits shows the one that haven’t been updated for a while
Connect gang rise
I really like boost
I used RIF in the before times, and boost is the closest thing I’ve found to duplicate that experience.
Same, RIF to Boost. It’s been a great transition.
I’m sorry for not answering OP’s question but I have a similar question. Is there an app that has been mentioned here support mbin (kbin folk)?
i think there is only interstellar
Oh thanks, it is only for Android for now right?
yes
That’s correct. When we know of more apps, they’ll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.
Friendly Social Browser is decent but I would recommend an actual app for it
Thunder has been great so far
I like the link previews. Not getting rickrolled again.
We’re no strangers to love…
It loves to freeze up randomly while scrolling and take fucking forever to become responsive again (usually I just kill it), but ignoring that, it’s a pretty solid app.
No way to reply to direct messages, though. Gotta pull up the instance site. So other than that…
I don’t use apps. I like the web interface (except for the fact that it doesn’t work on my PC…can’t figure out why). So I can’t help you there, BUT, seeing as you’re new this whole thing, and seeing as it can it be overwhelming, might I suggest you take a gander at !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca when you get a chance?
A couple of things you’ll take note of that are a bit different than over at reddit. First off, we don’t masturbate into shoeboxs for years on end, and then allow the semen to accumulate, thus producing disgusting horrific clumps that need radioactive gloves to dispose of.
We don’t do the whole “What’s in the safe?” posts.
We’re missing a lot of the niche communities, and we’re missing the audience to house them.
And finally, everybody has already agree’d, I am the ultimate supreme master, and everybody has to give me all their money at all times. So, be prepared to cough it up, newbie.
Fun fact, only one of my previous statements is an outright lie! Can you spot the imposter?
I hope the masturbation part is the lie
I like the web interface (except for the fact that it doesn’t work on my PC…can’t figure out why).
Do you happen to be running an outdated system, by chance? I’ve got a really old Chromebook that’s past its lifecycle and doesn’t get updates anymore, and it has problems displaying most Lemmy instances properly as a result.
It’s a Windows 7, that I haven’t updated in years. The browser is probably older than most people here would be comfortable with. Sometimes websites will say things like “You need to update your browser”, but then the browser works just fine on their site.
Lemmy is the only one that legitimately doesn’t work right. It just has a spinny circle that never loads. Just spins forever.
Yup, that’s probably the issue then. My Chromebook is running a version of Chrome from like 4 years ago, so most Lemmy instances have broken formatting that stops loading anything beyond a broken header.
It’s kinda weird, because Lemmy is generally a pretty low-tech platform, so I’m not sure what about the web UI causes problems with older browsers. Not my area of expertise, so I’m afraid I don’t have much in terms of a solution, lol.

Speak for yourself ☢️☢️📥💦 🍆😂
We don’t do the whole “What’s in the safe?” posts.
Because Lemmy is open-source, the contents of the safe are available to the public, so we don’t need such posts

Tap to instantly receive all my money
Oof, tough break there
Voyager has all the features. There are only a couple others that are full featured.
Does voyager have ads? I’m on Eternity and need to switch.
I don’t know. I block ads. Haven’t seen any evidence of them.
I use Boost for Lemmy
I use the sync app and love it. Got it from the Google play store
Was a reddit sync user, now a lemmy sync user
I used memmy.
