Lemmy enjoys growth as developers pivot from Reddit amid API charging controversy

So far, all the lemmy apps I've used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.
Looking forward to Sync, though!
They’ve progressed very rapidly. Personally I don’t think we’re still in the “very buggy” era. I’m participating daily without major issues. There’s just a lot left to build.
I like how open it is, their git is pretty active and we get updates almost daily.
wefwef was renamed voyager a few days ago
I'm going to keep calling it WefWef since I like that name more lol. Not a fan of the Voyager renaming.
Haven't reinstalled the app so that it is still called that on my phone.
Probably wanted to keep with the space theme, given that it's the go-to for Apollo users right now. I think it's a neat little nod.
Ahh that makes sense. This was my first experience with anything related to the Apollo app since I switched back to Android before it came out.
Since it's based of Apollo then I completely understand why it's called Voyager :)
I'm going to call it whatever the devs call it because I want other people to find it and use it. Simple as that really
What was wefwef supposed to mean anyway?
It’s a combination of the word “we” (as in social) and “woof woof,” as if to say “together we all bark like dogs.”
Not sure when you last tried Jerboa. It really shit the bed during the Lemmy 0.18 transition period but it's been working a lot better since Jerboa v38 and is quite smooth.
I just use the mobile web interface. Good enough for now.
I was using mobile website on ios but then tried the Memmy app. The app experience is much better.
It's mobile optimized, but it's painfully slow and laggy. Have they fixed the annoying post auto-loading?
My lemmy.world instance used to be painfully slow, but it works perhaps faster than established big social sites now, probably due to the lack of trackers.
It looks good and works quite well especially in the newer pure black theme.
I enjoy Connect, fast and works well!
!memmy@memmy.ml is great on iOS
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !memmy@lemmy.ml
Fixed it.
Good bot
Memmy gang rise up 😤
Second. It's the one I use exclusively now.
started using Liftoff since today I'm quiete like it. better than Jerboa i used before and is almost "there" to where i would want it to be.
Liftoff has all those weird issues regarding subscribing to communities, I got a "not logged in" or general authorization API error.
I just downloaded connect and so far, so good. I can see my subscriptions, I can post... It also looks somewhat familiar as a Sync user.
did you had those issues with lemmy.world? because i had the same issues with jerboa and other apps on lemmy.world. seems to be an issue with the instance not apps.
Never had this issue on liftoff
Connect has been working well for me (a thousand times more reliably than the official reddit app ever has).
I encountered a weird bug with connect, where I'm logged in, but I can't access my profile or inbox. Some parts of the app think I'm logged in, others do not.
Could that be to do with when some instances got compromised and they had to log everyone out? I had to log out and back in as my profile/inbox weren't showing after that, but it's been fine since then.
Connect dev here. Yup exactly and it was a bit wonky afterwards too, seems to be okay now though.
Noice 😁
Thunder has been amazingly stable for me. I've tried everything else for android and they all stagger with loading, while thunder is buttery smooth.
Voyager is great too but I find it struggles keeping its place if you scroll as much as I do.
Voyager definitely needs to add some loading/activity indicators and implement better separation between interface and data fetching. But it's definitely the cleanest UI I've tried so far.
Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything's fast. How do I edit a comment, though?
weird ux but you have to hold your phone upside down when you long press it
Doesn't work for me
Edit: oh, it's a swipe gesture. I wish I could edit directly from my comment history, though.
Connect works well for me.

Memmy is working very well
