!thunder@lemmy.world is pretty good
Typing this 11 days after the initial question was asked and things have changed a lot since.
I've tried two apps: voyager (used to be called wefwef) and memmy.
Voyager has one problem for me on iOS 15.7: When I tap and hold an image no menu shows up, and I have no way of directly sharing an image. I can only share the link, but I don't want to do that. So if i want to share memes directly with friends and family I can't do that. I've tried to explain the problem in github but it seems like it's not a high priority and difficult for them to reproduce. I wonder if this is rooted on voyager being a web app.
Memmy on the other hand has made great progress and for me is the winner because it allows to share the images directly like I used to in apollo. They've now fixed the swipe to close gesture being too harsh, and thus I have what I need.
Here's what happens on voyager when I tap and hold an image I want to share: https://files.catbox.moe/ypz37b.mp4
FYI Connect seems to be pretty unoptimised: https://lemmy.world/post/953025
RN I'm using Jerboa until Sync comes out
i use wefwef/voyager and thunder app
New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.
- It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.
It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.
Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?
- May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?
Anyone?
Not sure if same on iPhone but wefwef.app is great on android. Tried jerboa, connect and liftoff, this one is a pwa and it works quite well.
Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store
Memmy for iPhone!
Liftoff, at least It was the best for me at the time when sync came out. I tried everything back then, but I should do it again
2 months later and there's still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it's still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There's no consensus.
I don't want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I'd either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that's forever missing features.
Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.
Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than "I like this app because it's the one I downloaded"?
Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.
Thunder is pretty good
Summit is pretty raw in places but it's fast and simple. The developer is putting out updates every few days and actively taking user feedback on c/summit. I'm going to stick with it.
