Newbie, what app works best with Lemmy?
What's the best app to use with Lemmy? I've downloaded Thunder, but just wondering if it's a good app or are there better ones out there? Edit: Thank you all for your advice! I will try out the various recommendations and see what works best for me.
I like Voyager. It's very close to RES.
Some instances collect data btw. This place is a data mine, but so is every other place and most instances aren't ran by corporations. There are ways to tell exactly what you personally upvote and downvote. Anyone can have access to that info though, it's not sold.
For some reason I don't see images uploaded to feddit.org instance or by users from that instance.
Idk if it's something to do with the app or my account.
From the app? There is an instance, but there is also an app. The app lets you sign into any instance you're a part of. I'm guessing, not positive, that the instance isn't federated to feddit.org. Do a search while on the instance and it will come up if it's not blocked.
Thanks for the info! Which instances do you recommend that donāt collect data?
I clicked on the app link on the main page, and it gives a list of apps, some which collext.
I'm not that savvy on the data collection and who does or doesn't collect. I've had an instance admin tell me that they check all of the data on people.
Thanks
I'm also on team Boost. I don't know if it's the best, but it didn't take much to make it feel like RIF (Reddit is fun) which I was already used to.
Thanks, I've been looking at them, the only reason I decided against Boost is because it collects data. If I find Thunder to be not so user friendly I'llprobably switch.
Mlem, Arctic, and Voyager for me, very nice apps
Mlem is the best. Arctic is a second, but the dev appears to be mia.
Voyager is my go-to
I suppose Voyager but I still use Sync. And don't call me Newbie
Surley you can't be serious! ;).
I've been using Summit lately and like it so far; the dev is responsive and there are quite a few customization options.
I previously used Sync (now abandoned), Jerboa, and Connect as well. Jerboa didn't seem quite so customizable, but it was a nice and simple UI.
Thanks!
Jerboa!
Voyager, used to use & prefer Sync but it didn't keep up with instance upgrades
Boost is best. Lots of customization.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Thunder feels most similar to Relay, which is what I used for Reddit. Honestly, I get the feeling that all of the apps are pretty polished and are customizable enough that you can make one look exactly like the others
There is no best just ones that work well enough for you.
I have used Liftoff, Thunder, and Voyager. I currently use Voyager as Liftoff broke with an API change a while ago and Thunder kept crashing on my Android phone.
As I've just read,Thunder is still being tweaked, I'm also on android, and ideally prefer an app that doesn't collect data. I guess it'll be trial and error for a while. Thanks.
Check out Raccoon. Its been pretty good so far. Nicely made.
I also want to pitch Connect. It has the same kind of look and feel as RIF used to have. Plus the dev is super active and constantly doing updates and listening to user experiences. It's mad in Canada, which might be a plus punt as well.
Summit recently went open source, so you can try that if you are on android: https://summit.idunnololz.com/
