Lemmy is going to look more appealing as time goes on.

Same, but then I immediately returned to reddit. Today I suddenly realized I wanted to leave reddit, so here I am again. Any good tips for Android apps?

Summit is pretty good, and the dev is very responsive in [email protected]

Voyager is my go-to.

I see sync recommended too, but I would recommend against that one. I had to buy it for reddit twice because the dev invalidated the license and took away premium features on an upgrade. So I'm not using their shit ever again.

The 2 specific communities I want to read without a mirroring one in the fediverse I still read through RSS.

Yead is better than using web or their app. And still get my fix.

I use Boost for Lemmy (paid for, so no ads etc.). It's what I used for Reddit, so the transition was super easy, but there's lots of FOSS Lemmy clients on F-Droid that are good too.

I also use Boost as I was using that back on Reddit. Voyager is also an excellent Lemmy app too.

Sync, I used it for reddit before they fucked the API. And now I use it for Lemmy. It's one of the smoothest apps I've ever used.

I really loved sync for reddit, but development on the app is pretty inconsistent and there's currently some major bugs/unsupported features. For example I can't currently view comments on posts from SJW.

Hmm I don't have any issues like that, moved over on the initial sync for Reddit closing

Apparently it's an issue with newer versions of the Lemmy software. I can see posts from SJW and the number of comments, but if I click through on them I can't see any of the comments. It's been reported on the discord but no updates. There's also other stuff like the fact that sync can't deal with showing separate upvotes and downvotes, so you have to just show score. Lots of little random glitches from differences between reddit and Lemmy.

The author of sync basically goes completely off the grid for long periods of time (presumably due to irl priorities) and doesn't work on sync during these periods. It's always been a thing with sync. But Lemmy changes more frequently than reddit so the bugs can be more frustrating. I'm considering changing apps, honestly, because not being able to see comments on my home instance is driving me crazy. But I do really like sync's interface.

What is SJW? I love Sync for Lemmy.
