for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.

By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I prefer Sync because of the font, the design, and the way the options are arranged.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field

I love the formatting tools

that are placed at the bottom

And enable easy text fancification

I agree. So far it's the best one I've used on Android. It has things like settings for font sizes.

UPDATE: I find myself using Liftoff more now. I couldn't exactly tell you why. The only things it's missing is an option to make the comment font larger.

Where do you get that app from?

Ah I see. I don't have access to that store. And connect is not on f-droid store because ot's closed source. I wonder why using a closed source lemmy app if we have open ones.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not him, but I think closed source doesn't inherently means bad

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It is becoming each day more critical to choose open source over closed source. It's a matter of security, privacy and concentration of power

Now supports "mark read on scroll" if you like to keep the Frontpage fresh. So good!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Very good UI. I keep getting connection issues when trying to upvote or navigating. Not sure if it's my instance or the app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can't say much because it's the only app I tried so far and I joined Lemmy 30 min ago.

But I like it pretty much. Small cards (inversed lists), high refresh rate option (disable by default I suppose to save battery when scrolling), etc.

~~Maybe I'd change the expand/collapse from hold to single tap. (It's something I'm starting to like to do).~~ oh this option is already there. Some reverse option for the comments. Awesome.

But the app can't be faster. Running it on a Pixel 5.

Voyager for lemmy is awesome
