New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.

  1. 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…?

  1. May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

Anyone?

They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them

Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.

Thunder has the best UX out of any of the Lemmy apps I've tried so far.

FYI Connect seems to be pretty unoptimised: https://lemmy.world/post/953025

RN I'm using Jerboa until Sync comes out

I'm happily using fennec browser (firefox fork) on android. The web ui is fine, don't know why everyone wants an app.

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.

I've tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I'm aware.

Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

i don't mind paying one time for the ads-free version of an app if it doesn't suck

$99 though holy shit man

Memmy for iPhone!

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thunder is pretty good
