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?
Just look at the meme stream in All. How does it look like it’s going? There’s no stopping this train till lemmy.world runs out of disk space. 🤘
Choo choo 🚂
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.
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
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
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?”
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.
Jerboa and Liftoff.
As a former Boost for Reddit user I’ve been digging Jerboa. Definitely going to check out Boost for Lemmy once it’s available too.
I switch back and forth but liftoff is currently my main. I kinda wish I only picked one because the going back and forth is overwhelming but I love checking out the changes lol.
I wish that I could create communities in the app.
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.

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’d just use the officialy hosted one cause the lemmyworld admin has yet to automate updates and voyager updates FAST.
Connect is the best app rn. Followed closely by liftoff.
Ribbit
I second liftoff. Just an overall great UI
I’m back on the web portal. Both Liftoff and Jerboa keep saying I’m not signed in, so I can’t make posts or comments.
That’s likely due to the exploit on your instance.
Most instances as a precautionary measure invalidated all login sessions.
You need to clear cache in tbe app and/or just delete your login and readd it.
I had to do it for Jerboa as my instance admins took the precautionary measure that yours did as well (though it was more necessary for lemmy.world aince they were jit hardest with the exploit)
Liftoff back in business
Web portal is king but an app would greatly improve the access
When lemmy got hacked I had to clear my desktop browser cache to login again. Probably the same issue with Liftoff.
Had this issue with Liftoff last night, but clearing the cache on the app and relogging fixed my issue. Liftoff had another update today, so hopefully that was a fix for this bug.
Just pretend like you’re adding a new server, just use the old server to login again. It did that to me after the exploit got fixed.
Yo, anyone happens to know how to make Infinity For Everything work with Lemmy? Like, I know I need to point it to lemmy (dunno if website or API) but I don’t know how
Any user or community just has to be prepended with
lemmy:, for example hitGo to Userand enterlemmy:efraimbartto view my profile. To view any community or user not on the default instance you can append@<instance>to it, for examplelemmy:efraimbart.world.
Tip: try sorting by hot instead of active. Gets better results imho. Also Top 6 hours.
Hot show me the hottest 4 yeard old posts. Top day and less is the best.
I’ve heard there’s a bug that can cause old posts to show in Hot if your instance admins haven’t restarted Lemmy in a while.
Sort by New. There’s all sorts of weird stuff popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
The answer is Voyager.
I’ve switched to Memmy for now, seems a bit more stable. Keeping an eye on Voyage.
This first app to allow full screen swipe back will win for me.
Do I just not know what full screen swipe back means? On Liftoff, Connect and Jerboa I return to the feed by swiping from the left side to the middle of my screen.
Summit does it too. I actually swiped back just to see if it was true. Then grumbled the whole 5 seconds it took to get back.
I feel like I forgot that was a thing but now I’m sad that I remember. The race is on!
I prefer having an app because it takes up my whole screen, but MAD respect to Lemmy for having multiple website frontends that are 100% useable on mobile.
I’m on android and just saved it as an app. It fills the whole screen.
It will always be WefWef in my heart
🫡
Memmy is great too
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 also use Connect and just realize there’s an AMOLED theme
I did too, but switched to Liftoff afterwards. I think it’s the best of all those 3.
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
Thunder, Liftoff and the PWA, since it’s the least buggy. But it’s the most ugly.
