I see a lot of people talking about the UI experience. I've found liftoff to be pretty enjoyable.

Infinity just came out, and its what I used for reddit for forever. Someone forked it and made it for lemmy and it's awesome!

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Omg THANK YOU. I love this!

[–] Hobbes@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Android only? I can't find it on the app store.

[–] CausticFlames@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Couldn't say. I'm not even sure if infinity for reddit was available on iPhones, I got it from f-droid ;)

[–] jungekatz@lib.lgbt 2 points 2 years ago

I dont think it is on play store or app store yet ! Just fdroid !

I really like Thunder’s interface and the font is so pleasing to my eyes, but just based on my anecdotal testing, it’s been the most unstable among Memmy, Mlem, and Voyager. It also has the least features compared to the others, but I’m hoping for more progress in the future as it’s honestly the best UI experience for me.

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like Thunder a lot too. One thing I can't seem to figure out though is how to post images in comment replies.

[–] BinarySystem@partizle.com 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Commenting UI is currently getting an overhaul to match the create a post UI (assuming you are on Thunder nightlys). I think posting images will get added then. If not we can definitely take a look at adding it :)

I wasn’t aware that was possible (tried in Memmy or Voyager and seemed like it wasn’t doable).

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemmy supports it. I guess only some apps are taking advantage of it so far. Liftoff, Connect, and Jerboa can, I think.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I think summit too

Been using Connect for weeks now, tried some of the other apps but always end up back with Connect!

[–] YlvaValkyrja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Really like voyager as it’s basically apollo

[–] anti_antidote@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Liftoff isn't too bad but it's just not the same polished experience that Sync is. Plus it handles messaging weird imo

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but you can't even post with sync

[–] vaselined@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Infinity for Lemmy

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Band Elwood! The Band!

[–] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Liftoff is also a FPV drone simulator thats why i am confused by posts like this

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try Sync. I feel like I will be killed for this statement

[–] atocci@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I loved Sync for Reddit, just gotta wait for Kbin support now...

[–] slin@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My favorites are Avelon and Mlem.

[–] pastanomaly@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] slin@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Mlem is my overall favorite and I use it since my day 1 on Lemmy. The team seems to be awesome and the performance is really awesome too.

Avelon has IMO the cleanest UI and its development looks really promising too.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The way liftoff handled messages/replies was what ultimately drove me to voyager and ultimately sync instead. Idk if they've fixed that issue or not, but it didn't really have anything I liked more than what other apps have to offer. That's not to say it's a bad app though, it is in my top 3.

[–] jungekatz@lib.lgbt 1 points 2 years ago

Same ! I am using infinity now , though infinity is less stable than most clients , thunder so far has been the best !

[–] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So uhm... Does it have an inbox for replies? I tried to find it and failed miserably

[–] glassyoghurtsipper@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I look at the notifications bell for replies if that works for you

[–] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, so it's there, thanks!

[–] Lt_Worf@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! P. S. Also now I feel stupid lol

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 2 points 2 years ago

I really like this meme template did you invent it in your personal meme laboratory? 🥼 🧪 🧫

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Can you get it into the json fdroid repo?

[–] Maultasche@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is there any app, that won't start from the top when switching between different apps? That's the only thing about Liftoff that kinda annoys me.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Liftoff has been my daily driver for Lemmy after trying all the other Android apps that are available.

I was gonna try Boost thinking it would have been released by now but that ship has sailed. Too used to Liftoff.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly I've yet to find Jerboa lacking in anything I need. I'm glad others are finding apps they're satisfied with, but I'm having trouble imagining what could possibly make them notably better than Jerboa?

[–] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Sync is also beautiful. It feels like everything with reddit was just a dream...

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

It's just too ugly. Can't even look at that shit in the eye
