I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i’m new to Lemmy and looking for a good client to use it with. I’ve been using Sync which is what i used to use with Reddit but i’ve noticed that it isn’t getting updates now. Any other good mobile apps I can usr Lemmy with?
Same thing I asked about Voyager: How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes? It‘s a dealbreaker if I can‘t.
Settings --> Posts --> Interaction Bar
Then remove the combined up/down thingy and add the separate up and down chips. They show separate numbers.
Then do the same thing under Settings --> Comments --> Interaction Bar.
I’m trying this app out now based on your comment and so far it seems really nice. I may replace Voyager with it as well.
I’m on android and the app seems to be iOS only sadly, but thanks anyway. Will remember this one if I ever switch to iOS.
You mean the app that inserts ads to itself into links you share, by default? Yes it can be switched off but why does this need to be there in the firat place?
Yeah, the one that gives a great deal of ways to customize sharing of links for those that aren’t already using Lemmy Redirect.
How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes in it? It doesn‘t do it on iOS on default which is weird.
Settings > Appearance > Other > Display votes
I prefer seperate
Nah hands up definitely
Only issue, is sometimes the feed is blank if you refresh. It comes back if you wait a few minutes, but can get annoying.
There’s a problem that it seems to use a lot of memory, because afaik it’s a web browser in disguise (by the way of using Flutter). As a consequence, any time another app needs memory, Voyager is killed by Android and starts again from the main page, forgetting what I was doing. Oftentimes it’s enough to switch to the browser and back again for Voyager to restart, which is ironic for a link-aggregator app.
Its animations are janky for the same reason, and get in the way of some functionality like collapsing comments.
Voyager’s UI is great, mainly because it’s not flashy, but a native app with that UI would be a lot better. RedReader for Reddit is much smoother to use.
I’m quite happy with Voyager, never used anything else.
I think they do that so it can be accessed on as many platforms as possible. If the dev had to maintain the website and an ios and android app, they’d probably just shut down the android app since it has less users
Took a look and love it, mostly because it looks like an iOS app but on Android. I’ve really missed iOS app design and this is just refreshing lol.
For me it reminds more of some rather spartan apps that are economic with their interface — namely RedReader for Reddit. No fluff in the UI. Which is why I like both these apps, however Voyager would be better if it was implemented natively instead of in Flutter.
At least in iOS, it reminds me a lot of what used to be the Apollo app for Reddit. Voyager is fantastic and currently includes working, but limited Piefed compatibility.
Im using Summit. Its really nice and the developer is active and listens to the community!
I replaced Sync which is what I used for Reddit, for Summit. No issues at all and actively developed, unlike Sync. It’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from Sync’s feature set and I am very happy with it.
Summit is the best I’ve found that includes piefed integration.
That’s the client I use alongside Mlem.

I’ve been pretty happy with Blorp. They have mobile and web clients available

+1 for Blorp, moved there from Voyager after seeing active development.

Blorp dev here. Thanks for the support! Not only is the app actively maintained, but I do my best to lurk in the comments and help people with any issues.
