You make it hard for me to choose.

Try the first one! If you don't like it, start from the top and go down the list again!

Infinity for reddit mentioned trying to keep developing and if they can't get API access, they said pivoting to a lemmy client is on the table. They posted this in their sub on reddit.

Exciting since I infinity for reddit is a fdroid only client that rawks!

Sync dev is weighing their options too.

I absolutely love the sync app, I really hope he decides to make an app for Lemmy.

Also RedReader

My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API.

Infinity is the sole reason i use reddit anyway. I love that app, if they made it for lemmy.. <3

We should have Sync for Lemmy!!

The dev is actually considering it! I certainly hope he finds the time too.

Would love to see 3rd party reddit apps migrating to Lemmy platform at some point.

Same, I'm especially hoping to see Infinity for Lemmy someday.

infinity for lemmy

warning, infinity cant see image comments yet

It'd be such sweet justice if third party reddit app developers migrated to Lemmy, and that's what really kills off reddit for good.

That aside I've been using jerboa, but also Lemmy itself is a PWA (in chrome you can "Install" Lemmy as a dedicated web app from three point menu) which works good as well.

lemming github leads to 404

Thanks! Seems like the project might be abandoned along with Slide. I've moved them to their own group.

I just stumbled on a new project called Thunder, made for iOS and Android. Looks really good so far.

Community here.

Using Jerboa and Liftoff

Why are you using two different apps?

I have several. Most are new and still need a lot of work. They keep updating quickly, so it's nice to try multiple to find which one works best. At some point I will settle on just one.

Wow I was going to comment that lemmur is another android app for Lemmy but then I realised it was shut down in February. Does anyone know what the "political differences" are that are cited as one of the reasons for the discontinuation?

I don't know the exact motivations of the Lemmur developer, but 2022 surfaced a lot of community break-points here and it is no secret that the main Lemmy developers at least tolerate if not partially endorse some pretty insufferable people on the Lemmy instances they run.

Thunder & Liftoff are available on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

Thanks! I added them!

Well Jerboa is also available on the IzzyOnDroid repo and it is usually faster to update compared to F-Droid.

Which one from the above list do you like most? (Asking because I don't want to try all of them)

I tried Connect first but it seemed to default to All view and I just wanted to see Subscribed. I also tried Lift Off but it didn't link to profiles on Mastodon correctly, and finally I tried Jerboa and it does everything right, smooth, and I like all the interface buttons. There were other things I tested too but I just like Jerboa overall.

Soon we will see (previously sync for Reddit) sync on this list, I can't wait!

label which are foss and which are not!!

@jshklsn

Doesn't a list of apps imply more than one?

Still nice to have the links to download from.

Sorry, just used to Reddit where titles cannot be edited. So I anticipated for the future.

Wait, you can edit the title on Lemmy?!

Ya! Not sure if it's because I am a mod, or if it's universal. I haven't posted outside of a community I don't mod yet. Either way, it's really nice.

It's universal. You can edit titles on Lemmy
