Raccoon for Lemmy came out in Early Access the other day and I’m checking that out to replace Liftoff, since it’s unlikely Liftoff will get updated before most of the instances update to 0.19 and break the app.
I tried Sync, Boost and many others. They all feel bloated and some have ads. I went back to Jerboa and never looked back. I do miss some features from Sync. Like the advanced search function. But they’ll probably come soon.
Note on Liftoff: Dev has apparently vanished and 0.19 doesn’t work with it. As more instances update to the newest version of Lemmy, Liftoff becomes more useless. :(
It does have ads, but with a one time purchase you can get rid of them. I’ve paid that and then I also plan on getting the subscription in the future for additional features.
The price is definitely a bit on the higher side, but I’m happy to support the development of the app I left Reddit for.
If you are able to, please support the apps and Lemmy instances you use.
Sync is the reason I’m here. For me, Sync was Reddit, and now, Sync is Lemmy.
Much like with Reddit years ago, with great apps like BaconReader and RIF, Lemmy is benefiting from having a huge choice of apps. Definitely try them all, and support the ones you like.
I just switched from Liftoff because it hasn’t received an update in 6 months and is now breaking. As of last week, it no longer opens the subbed list for me.
I tried Voyager and Connect. It looks like I may be sticking with Connect, as I’m way happier with how smooth it is and the fact that it’s not harvesting my data like some of the more popular browsers.
Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
Has some neat features that I haven’t seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, already supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
Very good accessibility
and lots more.
Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!
The absolute bare minimum is to show text as it was written. Most of the apps don’t even deal with formatting post correctly, so I am happy to stick with a browser.
If your app of choice does not display the following correctly, let the devs know via a bug report
Bold = Bold v. normal.
Italic = Italic v. normal.
Superscript = ^SuperScript^ v. normal.
Subscript = Subscript v. normal.
Strike-through = Strike-through v. normal.
