Deranged developer known to call everyone a harasser, troll, complicit in swatting et al while being a witch hunting harassment gang leader on internet. I would not touch anything he or his acolytes make with a 100 foot pole.
Last I knew, he has never spoken a word of truth when making accusations, and even when he claimed to have stepped down, he never apologised to Louis or any of us entities he with his gang harassed and witch hunted, and there was an insane level of censorship during and after the days on his Discourse forum when he claimed to have left. This was the time people were questioning him, his presence, his project’s future and the whole incident.
I mean, you don’t really need any addons if you’re using the lemmy web, so I’d recommend going with addon-less bromite or “Webapps” from F-droid so u get better performance
Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It’s fanatastic. It’s far, far better than a browser experience as well.
I grabbed liftoff after reading about the early access when using web interface. I’m sure it is missing some features, but it does “just work”, so I’m pretty happy with it.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here… it’s lemmy.
This isn’t reddit. There isn’t a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I’d guess if there’s the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.
There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.
I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!
Unless there’s some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I’m fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the “no ads” experience.
I didn’t use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!
The gamechanging functionality for me was being able to log in. Mobile, desktop, whatever. I click login, use my credentials, it says “logged in” and then asks me to log in again and warns down the right side of the website that I’m not logged in.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll and a more usable layout. The website works ok, but there’s lots of room for improvement.
All the stuff at the top on lemmy web page gets turned into buttons on the top and bottom of my phone that I don’t have to scroll up for. Vote buttons are big enough to hit easily. Titles flow on top of Images so I see more than a thumbnail without tapping.
In my experience (large asterisk there), infinite scroll is great until you click a link, then hit back, and it doesn’t resume where you were before so then you have to keep scrolling to get back to where you were before. Maybe the infinite scroll experience is better now than it was in the dark ages of new.reddit.
Pagination just never really bugged me? It gives me a stopping point.

The stock interface is garbage though. Need them apps to streamline the experience.
It’s pretty damn excellent for a stock UI, and blows reddit out of the water. With that said I use Jerboa
Reddit webui is a really low bar though
I use Voyager and old.lemmy
I’m also impressed with Jerboa.
That’s why I used RES
Does Lemmy have RES? Is it called RES (lol)?
I use voyager on android lol
Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps
Amen! Very happy with the app too :)
It has been fixed in v0.97
Using connect here too. Really enjoy using it.
The amount of features is insane! Mark as read on scroll, blocking instances, etc are super useful!
Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost
It will come out. It’s currently available to pre-register.
On iOS Memmy is a really good app given how new it is. Just found out about Bean which is really impressive for just entering TestFlight.
Nah, apps are better. There aren’t any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.
The UI is much better on apps in general.
Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.

Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.
In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
I haven’t dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.
Check out liftoff before you do
I’ll check it out, thank you.
I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.
LESS is more.
I’m not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.

Using an app, I can actually log the fuck in.
That’s fair. I’m definitely having to log in every couple days.
But I’m also not on Lemmy as often / continuously as I was on reddit. That’s been a nice change for me.

For me, this is a bug and not a feature.
