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.
Memmy is great. Voyager / Wefwef is my second choice. I still have to use the baseline web interface for some things, including moderating. So it’s still coming together.
But I echo your sentiments. Fuck Reddit’s bullshit.
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.
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)
Just to clarify, since there’s a lot of apps named “Connect” on the app store and this seems like a great opportunity for malware authors to hijack people looking for one of these new lemmy apps, do you mean “Connect for Lemmy” by kurononeko?
Yeah I’m here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don’t have a “hot” filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I’m happy to be away from Reddit
It’s going fine. There’s enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.
How to help fuck up Reddit’s IPO:
Using Lemmy itself is already a way to do so. Post, comment, vote, mod, this kind of stuff. In special, create and/or nurture communities about things that you care about, sometimes a post goes a long way.
If you got the money, time, and technical expertise to do so, consider building your own instance. Specially if you want to focus on a niche subject.
If you still have your Reddit account, and if Power Delete Suite still works, consider replacing your content there with literal gibberish (“4593fnjkfgehjkre” style). Reddit is trying to profit from corps training bots, and gibberish makes it less valuable.
If some content creator mentions resources in Reddit, make sure to mention available sources for the same resources elsewhere, or ask for them.
Teach people how to google stuff. Seriously. ~50% of the Reddit traffic is due to people using “site:reddit.com” in Google to make the results less crappy, but you can get similar results with negative query searches, exact terms, and stuff like this.
Yes but it’s possible to work around that “junkness” without Reddit. At least partially. (I know from blacklisting Reddit from Google results for years.)
These are awesome suggestions. I have a 9 year old Reddit account and I’d love to nuke all the content I’ve ever contributed. Unfortunately without push shift I don’t think it’s even possible to get at anything more than a couple years back, but I research that tool.
If you happen to still have a Reddit account, could you check if the tool that I’ve linked still works, after the API closed? You don’t need to trash all the content to test this, just post something to profile and then remove specifically that post.
Sorry for asking this, but I’m wondering if I should still suggest the tool, and I can’t test this out because I don’t have a Reddit acc any more.
Unfortunately without push shift I don’t think it’s even possible to get at anything more than a couple years back
I’ll try to put in some time to test this soon. I really want my account completely wiped out. I did a California data request through the official reddit channels, but they only gave me my data back to 2021. Ideally I’d like to archive all my comments, and then wipe everything, but I’ll settle for whatever I can get at this point.
+1 for Voyager. It’s had like 6 releases since I installed it, sometimes multiple on the same day. It’s the most polished and complete interface I’ve found on Android and it installs absolutely everywhere on every system because PWA.
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.
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 replying from Voyager right now. I had to figure out how to access it from their website instead of an instance and then log in using a custom instance.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
No such thing. Ask away!

Currently using Liftoff.
100% full agree.
(posted by Liftoff while laying in my bed :p)
Liftoff for f-droid FTW! 🥳
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.
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.
Yeah I haven’t had any problems with jerboa so far. So great we have these choice available though isn’t it!
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.
Liftoff is amazing
I second liftoff. Just an overall great UI
Memmy is great. Voyager / Wefwef is my second choice. I still have to use the baseline web interface for some things, including moderating. So it’s still coming together.
But I echo your sentiments. Fuck Reddit’s bullshit.
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.
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.
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.
When lemmy got hacked I had to clear my desktop browser cache to login again. Probably the same issue with Liftoff.
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)
Web portal is king but an app would greatly improve the access
Liftoff back in business
Great actually. I think a large portion of Reddit was just bots and shills. I haven’t felt a need to return tbh
I’m using Lemmy on Connect, I really like it.
Just to clarify, since there’s a lot of apps named “Connect” on the app store and this seems like a great opportunity for malware authors to hijack people looking for one of these new lemmy apps, do you mean “Connect for Lemmy” by kurononeko?
Yes that’s the one :) Sorry for not being clear.
I tried a few different ones and also settled on connect. I’m coming from RIF in case you find that relevant.
I came from baconreader and it’s very similar in its simple layout. It’s been an easy transition :)
Is there a plan for RIF to develop something for the lenny verse? I heard they might, but not sure where to keep updated
I believe the RIF dev is working on a client for tildes.
Nice! I’m using liftoff and it’s really good so far
Tried both and Connect seems to make a bit more sense to me. But more options is more better!
For sure
Yeah I’m here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don’t have a “hot” filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I’m happy to be away from Reddit
Little rough around the edges, but preparing for smooth sailing
It’s going fine. There’s enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.
How to help fuck up Reddit’s IPO:
Man, the reason we searched for xyz reddit, instead of xyz, is because Google is junk now.
Yes but it’s possible to work around that “junkness” without Reddit. At least partially. (I know from blacklisting Reddit from Google results for years.)
Honestly I Google very infrequently with chatgpt available now. Even then I always use duck duck go over Google.
These are awesome suggestions. I have a 9 year old Reddit account and I’d love to nuke all the content I’ve ever contributed. Unfortunately without push shift I don’t think it’s even possible to get at anything more than a couple years back, but I research that tool.

Sorry for asking this, but I’m wondering if I should still suggest the tool, and I can’t test this out because I don’t have a Reddit acc any more.
It is - up to March/2023.
I’ll try to put in some time to test this soon. I really want my account completely wiped out. I did a California data request through the official reddit channels, but they only gave me my data back to 2021. Ideally I’d like to archive all my comments, and then wipe everything, but I’ll settle for whatever I can get at this point.
Mlem is an incredibly nice app for IOS users, it reminds me of Apollo so I feel right at home!
Mlem beta test is full right now unfortunately
Summit for Android! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit
Thunder, Liftoff and the PWA, since it’s the least buggy. But it’s the most ugly.
The answer is Voyager.
Nahhhh, Thunder.
🫡
+1 for Voyager. It’s had like 6 releases since I installed it, sometimes multiple on the same day. It’s the most polished and complete interface I’ve found on Android and it installs absolutely everywhere on every system because PWA.
It will always be WefWef in my heart
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.
I feel like I forgot that was a thing but now I’m sad that I remember. The race is on!
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 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.
Oh wow, that’s cool! Unfortunately, it seems to make Firefox crash. I’m also on lemm.ee, which doesn’t appear to have Voyager accessible online.
I’m also on lemm.ee and voyager/wefwef runs smoothly and is installed like an app
I’m replying from Voyager right now. I had to figure out how to access it from their website instead of an instance and then log in using a custom instance.
If you’re on an apple device you can have it take up the whole screen. Go to settings> install app and it will walk you through it
Same on Android. I’m running it on Firefox, but probably also works with Chrome.
I’ll never not call it WefWef tho
Memmy is great too
You can try Memmy. Smoothest for me with daily updates.
Liftoff is awesome (after cycling through quite a few)!
I second this, from liftoff
