Boost. It's cute and I like light mode.

Eternity, loved it on Reddit, love it on Lemmy, bless the Open Source community for keeping it alive

Damn am i the only one who uses Connect? Lol

Boost... because it's the one i was using with reddit. At one point i tried Jeroba out, but i experienced some issues and decided to come back.

Eternity cause it feels like I never left Infinity

Using https://phtn.app don't know if it's the best... But I'm using it 😊

I don't

I use mobile clients and occasionally the main interface

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Yeah, switching web apps seems like way too much work. I use a mobile app on my phone and the regular web app on my computer.

Alexandrite and phtn.app

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

The amount of people not knowing what a "web app" is, is seriously concerning.

Anyway, I tried "old" and Alexandrite, but I just ended up sticking with the default. I find "old" ugly, and on Alexandrite, I couldn't find my saved posts. Maybe it has been fixed since, but the default one works for me best.

Eternity, its simple, fast, open source and the succesor of the reddit app Infinity.

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

It appears to not be maintained

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You are correct. Thought it will be updated but I guess i was wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Summit. Neat, simple and clear. Updated very often and I simply love it.

~~Sync. It seemed to have the closest feature set to RiF early on and I've just stuck with it since then. I try other apps occasionally. They all have their strengths but Sync feels the most polished.~~

edit: Sync has started the inserting ads into my feed. Maybe they always have and I just didn't see them because I use DNS based ad blocking? They have an ad free version, but it's too much at $20. Even worse, the "ultimate" edition uses a subscription model, or is $99. For a Lemmy app? Insane. Guess it's time to change apps.

Paid version of Boost. I could mute things without having an account, because I couldn't decide on which instance to select. Filters didn't reset either when I finally got an account. Non-account browsing was limited to lemmy.word pov though. I'll still shop around if an app catches my eye.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Had Boost on Reddit. Now on Lemmy. No complaints

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

old.lemmy.world

Looks exactly like old reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

With our without R.E.S?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Voyager as a PWA (Android). No need to actually install everything, but still feels the same.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Voyager as an iOS pleb

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Firefox, because I fucking hate apps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I made a Lite App with Hermit because I don't really trust random app developers? I'm somewhat of a crazy person.
