(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I’m trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse.
I’m an iOS user, so I have no idea about Android apps.
primalanimist ( @primalanimist@lemmy.today ) 20•11 months agoI use Connect on my phone. I’ve tried others, even Sync when it came out but I guess I was already used to Connect.
sabreW4K3 ( @sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf ) 18•11 months agoNot open source
Sir_Kevin ( @Sir_Kevin@discuss.online ) 12•11 months agoThat’s not a requirement for everyone. And I don’t mind paying someone for their efforts.
Claidheamh ( @Claidheamh@slrpnk.net ) 22•11 months agoIt kind of is, in this community.
radix ( @radix@lemm.ee ) 6•11 months agoTo win over friends and family, an app being FOSS doesn’t matter as much as its UI/UX.
Refurbished Refurbisher ( @refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org ) 23•11 months agoThis is a FOSS-specific community.
mayooooo ( @MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months agoIt’s so much better than sync. I might try Boost once it’s released, but connect just works really well
SnowdenHeroOfOurTime ( @SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org ) 2•11 months agoSame to all of this!
glacier ( @glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 18•11 months agoI like Thunder and Infinity
Once ( @Once@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoI have been using Thunder for a few weeks and it works very well. It has the best compact interface for me, close to the RedReader experience.
Sir_Kevin ( @Sir_Kevin@discuss.online ) 17•11 months agoSync followed by Liftoff
humanplayer2 ( @humanplayer2@lemmy.ml ) 5•11 months agoSync followed by Jerboa, for me.
BoofStroke ( @knobbysideup@lemm.ee ) 17•11 months agoSync for lemmy now. Boost for lemmy when it comes out. Jerboa is nice too.
Matt ( @Matt@lemdro.id ) English15•11 months agoThis is the FOSS community and neither Sync nor Boost are open source.
humanplayer2 ( @humanplayer2@lemmy.ml ) 6•11 months agoBut Lemmy is, so it’s still a relevant answer, no?
If I asked “What word processors can Libre Office Writer collaborate with?”, would Microsoft Word be an off-topic answer?
IuseArchbtw ( @IuseArchbtw@feddit.de ) 17•11 months agoInfinity!
⑨③③Ⓚ ( @933k@lemdro.id ) English3•11 months agoI’m an Infinity user too, though its name might change soon as the developer is discussing this in this post
Great app, very level headed developer and the way he asks for community users input makes you feel included.
EddyBot ( @EddyBot@feddit.de ) English15•11 months agoVoyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I’m currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it’s first stable release
nodiet ( @nodiet@feddit.de ) 7•11 months agoInfinity is not too bad right now, I am replying from it right now. My only real issue with it is that I can’t see whether people have responded to my posts/comments.
redw0rm ( @redw0rm@kerala.party ) 3•11 months agoI can see replies to my comments and posts in infinity. The main issue is now that private messages aren’t implemented. Depending on the speed of developement, it will soon land
nodiet ( @nodiet@feddit.de ) 3•11 months agoAs in, you are notified of replies?
redw0rm ( @redw0rm@kerala.party ) 4•11 months agoI can see them in inbox, and in case of notifications, they only appear when the client is in foreground.
nodiet ( @nodiet@feddit.de ) 3•11 months agoHuh. For me, the inbox is broken
svahnen ( @svahnen@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoStrange, I have had notifications show up when I’m not in the app
Bebo ( @Bebo@discuss.tchncs.de ) 4•11 months agoI am presently using infinity from izzyondroid repository (is that the right name?) and it’s good. However, some features are missing, such as blocking communities (at least I couldn’t find the feature).
kichirou ( @kichirou@beehaw.org ) 14•11 months agoInfinity for Lemmy! I’ve been using Infinity for Reddit way before the API situation, and I am very used to the interface.
Tried other clients like Thunder and Connect, but the interfaces are either too chunky or the colors are off. Infinity for Lemmy is essentially a complete copy of the original and I love it.
bet ( @bet@lemm.ee ) 14•11 months agowhen I wanted a lemmy app, searching f-droid only pulled up Jerboa, and I remain happy with it.
Jay Baker (they/he) ( @MediaActivist@beehaw.org ) 11•11 months agoLiftoff is working really well for me!
LallyLuckFarm ( @LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org ) 11•11 months agoI was using Jerboa for most things but using the progressive web app as well. Sync is my preferred method for browsing and commenting at this point, but I’m still using the PWA for mod responsibilities and submissions (though I think LJ expects to have submissions working soon and 🤞 mod tools aren’t far behind). It’s fair to say that Sync is my preference due to comfort but the amount of customization is what makes it so comfy in the first place.
MangoPenguin ( @MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 10•11 months agoInfinity is great, much cleaner/easier to read layout compared to Sync IMO.
Bebo ( @Bebo@discuss.tchncs.de ) 9•11 months agoLiftoff, voyager. Really loving the look of Infinity but it’s very stage and missing some features. Maybe down the road infinity might become my app of choice if it adds more features that I like.
Cryptic Fawn ( @CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English9•11 months agoSync, Liftoff and Voyager are the three I’ve used. They’re all good.
Hellfire103 ( @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ) English8•11 months agoI had a look on F-Droid and it seems that Jerboa and Lemmur are your best options.
digger ( @digger@lemmy.ca ) 9•11 months agoGive Liftoff a look!
incogtino ( @incogtino@lemmy.zip ) English8•11 months agoMy understanding is that Lemmur is effectively abandoned and won’t work
sabreW4K3 ( @sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf ) English4•11 months agoSomeone forked it, so it should rise from the ashes like a phoenix
noodlejetski ( @noodlejetski@geddit.social ) English4•11 months agoit already has, the fork is named Liftoff and many people seem to like it.
Hellfire103 ( @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ) English2•11 months agoOh, sorry. I’ve done a bit more looking, though, and Thunder looks quite good as well.
MasterBuilder ( @MasterBuilder@lemmy.one ) 8•11 months agoI’m using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can’t decide which is better, so I’m interested in others people love.
GadgeteerZA ( @GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months agoI have the same problem. I have Liftoff set for one if my Profiles, and Jerboa for the other one.
nodiet ( @nodiet@feddit.de ) 4•11 months agoI prefer Liftoff, mainly because I am plagued by a well-known bug in jerboa that makes writing comments a big pain. However, since infinity got semi usable (it still has a bunch of references to reddit in its ui and the messages/replies page is broken) I have only used liftoff to check for replies. I am just used to infinity from years of reddit usage lol
MasterBuilder ( @MasterBuilder@lemmy.one ) 4•11 months agoI started Reddit almost 2 years ago, and used Infinity. I avoided all social media since MyPage but finally gave in for Reddit. It was Toxic, then it went to hell in a handbasket like Twitter.
