I feel so lost when I use something different from Mlem and Voyager (lemmy.ca)

Anyone else on Jerboa here? :D

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I'm so used to the default lemmy ui that I can barely use an alternate client.

I wish I could say I knew what you mean - but I installed Summit on my phone when I joined Lemmy, installed Summit when my phone came back from repair, and installed Summit when I bought my new phone last month.

I am a simple man, and I fuckin' love Summit yeaaahhh boiiii

edit: link for Android

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Trying that one out now!

It's nice to remember why love Lemmy (the tech community that makes apps, the people willing to stand up for their morals).

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

Can't speak for what the dev is all about, but they're sound as fuck whenever I've interacted with them, and there's a lot of work being done with frequent releases.

Very open to community requests too so if there's an feature missing and it's requested, there's a good chance it'll turn up sooner rather than later.

Replying with Summit to agree with you that it's the best. Reminds me of baconreader in the olden days.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Connect is the closest to reddit is fun.

TRY IT https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

Fucking casuals I use the mobile website like a man

[-] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 5 points 6 days ago

I find it hard to use anything other than thunder now

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 4 points 6 days ago

Thunder is good because it has also the material you theme on Android which Voyager doesn't. I wish Voyager had it because the interface is just great

[-] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 2 points 6 days ago

It looks like you can get arctic looking pretty similar and its ios native, so prob better performance, im just lazy to switch

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 7 points 6 days ago

I gotta say as someone who has never used an iPhone, Voyager is absolutely amazing. Before lemmy I was using Infinity for Reddit and it feels relatively similar to me

[-] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 6 points 6 days ago

Voyager seems great but I really couldn't get used to the iOS UI which is why I ultimately switched to Thunder and I'm loving it so far!

Edit: Wrong comment... Lol, I am also on a new app. Sorry.

Voyager is solid!

[-] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I wished more apps would stick to the base iPhone UI look, it isn’t very splashy, but it feels so good to use.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 6 points 6 days ago

I kind of hate to agree with you. I'm huge anti-apple but for mobile UI they just have it hammered down. Leave the Settings alone though... I tried to use the iOS Settings app one and was completely lost

[-] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

To each their own, I guess. I've got an iPhone for work and I really don't like using it which is also why I couldn't get used to Voyager.

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Used Voyager for ages but recently switched to Thunder, love the customisation on it.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

Speaking of clients, anyone know of an Android one that has the "add note to user" function other than Boost?

I really miss that function whenever I accidentally engage with certain Dunning Kruger Effect poster boys I've wasted time and energy on previously..

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Voyager and Thunder have that feature.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

~~I have both of those installed and nope, neither seem to. Unless it's hidden somewhere I haven't looked..~~

I sit corrected!

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Voyager: You can tap on a profile and hit the 3 dot icon on the top right to "edit tag", there's also a pink section that says “user tags” in the settings.

Thunder: long press the user name to have a small context menu pop up then tap on "user" and then hit the last option "add user label".

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

there's also a pink section that say user tags in the settings.

THAT'S what I missed! Thanks! 🫶

Gonna tag you as "Hero" 😁

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 6 days ago

Connect does! I use it all the time. I love Connect!

[-] checkmymixtapeyo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I've been using connect for about a year now, and it looks like that feature is available.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 6 days ago

That's how I fell trying to use Voyager. I'm note saying the UI when bad, it wasn't. I was just lost...

[-] MacFearrs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

Just switched from Sync to Boost after it started having issues displaying vote counts, and now all my muscle memory is gone

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Boost also has a similar issue to Sync where the developer has been inactive for a while.

[-] rarWars 2 points 6 days ago

Which is a shame, because I really haven't found anything similar enough to Boost that's actively being worked on. The UI for Voyager and Connect just don't really allow me to use/customize them how I want to.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Why did you leave voyager? I just left Boost after realizing it was paid (my dns was likely blocking the ads), that I wasn't paying, and that due to this I was being tracked by advertisers... Super salty about this.

Voyager is okay so far, only minor issues. But yeah, I feel you either way haha.
