I’m stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I’ve tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.
Y’all always forget connect
Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.
Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!
I’ll stick with Connect, thank you.
I started with jerboa a few weeks ago and really wanted to like it most, but then I tried connect and never looked back, it was so good and polished before all the other apps were even barely usable. I haven’t found a single issue with it so far.
Connect is my favorite so far, but I can’t download images or videos with it 😐 I can ask to download things, but then they just never show up. Otherwise pretty happy with it.
Yeah I’ve had a few downloads timeout or disappear but I can usually tell if the little bubble doesn’t pop up that says ‘file saved’. In that case I’ve been opening things in my external browser. Most of the time it works fine for me though.
I’ve never seen the little bubble, lol. It’s just never worked for me :(
You can use any client you want guys . Lemmy wins
Probably the first comment that doesn’t bash on anyone since this whole thing started.
Lemmy winks ?
Where does Voyager fit into this?
I had an hard time igonring the slight delay at animations when using it on my phone. I’m usually use it on PC though.
Using Infinity right now!
Wait, what’s wrong with Jerboa? I’m using Jerboa and it’s been great so far
Jerboa doesn’t autoplay gifs (or didn’t when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don’t regret it.
I’ve been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I’m missing something Jerboa doesn’t have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.
Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I’m missing something in Jerboa).
I’ll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.

Jerboa definitely has a downvote button lol
Well, I went searching for it again, just to downvote you. 😉 But still can’t find it.
Beats me. 🤷
[Downvoted from Jerboa]
Your server (https://reddthat.com) has disabled downvotes, jerboa respects the server’s settings.
Aha! That’s good to know. Thanks!
It kept crashing randomly for me.
I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we’re all Reddit refugees I presume).
I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn’t the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn’t very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn’t appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.
I’d used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
I’m still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I’ll try Infinity though if it’s a great as you say
I’m on the same bandwagon, boost was n1 but infinity n2… So… If they take too long I might give it a go.
Ah, a fellow Boost enjoyer. That was my favorite Reddit app by far.
it wouldn’t let me post comments
I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.
Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently
It’s on the Izzysoft F-Droid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy
The source code is found at: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
The Infinity for Lemmy sublemmy is found here: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
and the developer is u/bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu
Though the name might change since its a fork and not done by the same developer: https://lemy.lol/post/2958776
I am either hoping for it to stay the same, or for it to change to Eternity.
Is there any way to set default home screen to “subscribed” instead of “local”?
Go to settings. Then pick ‘username’ settings (for you it will say snowraven settings). Then scroll down to default listing type and you can choose between all, local or subscribed.
Thanks!
Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.
chose the app you like most and support its dev.
(posted from sync)
Still have a faint hope for Relay
For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.
Dumb question… I went to beehaw.org on my mobile browser, and clicked “install”. Which app does that mean I’m using?
You’re using your browser and the beehaw website as a PWA (progressive web app)
thanks. so I guess I need to try out one of the actual-apps. Just when I thought I was keeping up with the cool kids…
Haha it’s a valid way of using Lemmy (and other websites!) but yeah, in the meme they’re all android apps. Some are on the play store, some are in beta on github. Not sure which of these (if any) are available on iOS. There’s also Connect which some people like. I prefer Sync personally, but Liftoff is pretty good.
Web app
Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Where is the “About Instance” feature?
- Tap the three dots overflow menu:
- Select About Instance:
- Select View Communities:
Thanks. I found that earlier. I tried to edit comment. There’s a feature on my app that says “add user comment”… I thought that equaled an edited comment that indicated 'I found the answer".
Have a link? Is it open source?
It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he’s cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that’s worth.
Not open source, I’m out then.
Mmhmm.
I honestly don’t get the “gotta clean up the code first” stance. Like sure, you don’t want to publish complete spaghetti code without comments. But like, it can’t be that bad right?
Besides, the point of open source is collaboration and so he doesn’t have to do all the “clean up” by himself.Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don’t actually want to publish the code.
I feel it’s used as a minipulation tactic.
- FOSS people don’t want to use closed source software.
- Lie and say you’ll “consider” open source-ing later even though you have no intention of ever doing so.
- Profit.
Here’s a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
It’s not FOSS but it’s currently free and without ads.
Using Connect:
How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I’m considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync’s “remove ads” (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).
I wasn’t very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I’ve been a long time infinity user. I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t given sync too much of a chance, but here’s what I like about infinity:
- FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
- nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
- multiple account support
- dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
- fairly stable
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I’ll give it a shot
Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.
