Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

Rest in Power RiF. Time to figure out Lemmy

[-] silas@programming.dev 48 points 2 years ago

There’s a ton of awesome apps in development, it’s only gonna get better! Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on:

[-] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

UI looks good, looking forward to it.

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

That looks tidy AF, looking forward to it. Is it Android/iOS/cross platform?

[-] silas@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

It’ll be starting out as a web app, and then I’ll be releasing it on iOS/Android when the web app is stable.

The main goal with this project is to create a friendly, high-quality, public-facing website that aggregates all Lemmy instances, posts, communities, etc. so that Google and other search engines will be able to index the content easily. It’ll also make Lemmy more inviting to the average person on the Internet. Beyond that, I just want to build something that’s accessible by default, supports moderators with good tools, makes community discovery easier, and just makes the whole Lemmy experience more fun in general.

It’s gonna take a lot of work, but I think it’ll be worth it!

Nice! It’s exciting having so many options coming our way.

[-] dchen4@aussie.zone 43 points 2 years ago

Reddit was fun, now it's Lemmy's turn

[-] Falloutbros101@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 years ago

Yeah I’m trying to figure out Lemmy as well!

wefwef.app, Thunder, Connect, and Liftoff are already amazing btw. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy are in the works.

Jerboa actually gives off RiF vibes for me, though it's definitely still its own thing.

On pc use this to make it look a bit more like old.reddit. I hope tweaks like this get combined into a single extension later like RES

[-] Greyhost@reddthat.com 13 points 2 years ago

I used snyc for Reddit and would absolutely buy it again for lemmy.

[-] Sp00ky94@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Mlem and Memmy are in the works for iOS as well and these apps seem promising. So much better than using Lemmy in a mobile browser.

[-] fuckthisshit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wefwef is amazing

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Summit and wefwef.app too

[-] lichtmetzger@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Liftoff is awesome, I just couldn't find it when searching the name on the Play Store. Opening this link worked: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I ended up sideloading the APK from GitHub, since my Aurora store installation doesn't intercept play store links 😥

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

iirc you should be able to set it to open play store links. I know this because when i click on one it asks me what app i want to use with an option of the playstore, aurora store and fdroid.

[-] PolarisFx@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I found Connect yesterday, I was using Liftoff but I've configured Connect to be as similar to Relay as possible and barring a few small issues I'm very happy so far

[-] rambaroo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm using Liftoff which is the best one I've found so far, but I can't figure out how to look up communities which is actually a huge UX issue. Also I have a hard time separating posts on the front page, the cards need a visible border or something.

I'm looking forward to boost. Already in queue to install once it comes out.

[-] glockenspiel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

In Liftoff, click the magnifying glass at the bottom of the app.

Enter the term you want to search for in the top box.

You can then pick which server/instance you would like to search.

Tap the search button, then tap “Communities” at the top of the app.

[-] Merlin@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

I'm using Memmy (https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy) and even though it's still in testflight I'm socked with the vast amount of updates, you get pretty much one a day and features are building up very quickly. It gives me a similar experience as Apollo used to. RIP Apollo

[-] Skunk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Yes Memmy is nice. I liked wefwef obviously for its UI but it lack one big thing, being able to save a post.

But on Memmy I can save stuff so it’s my new Apollo.

[-] Tovervlag@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago

Ah man, I was like this is not a very big deal but in a way I felt a little sad when it actually stopped working. They should rename the app to, reddit is not fun.
