Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods
There’s like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
many of them are archived, outdated or simply removed. that list needs a total recheck.
I used RIF in the before times, and boost is the closest thing I’ve found to duplicate that experience.
See the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
Sync allows user tagging, but it’s a feature of the Ultra version since those tags are stored on sync’s private server. Ultra got a few other perks such as in-app translation, text extraction (from pictures / screenshots) etc., but it’s rather pricey.
That list is pretty outdated. A better resource for new users is https://www.lemmyapps.com/
There is like 40 apps
I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.
It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.
Voyager is good in some ways but I think Mlem is better in a bunch more ways. I really dislike that in voyager when you are typing a comment you can’t pull down to see the thread or anything at all as it tries to delete your comment. Why in the world would I want to delete my comment by pulling down like that? So many apps do that, like YouTube.
Tell me to didn’t try without saying you didn’t try.
I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.
I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don’t understand why there are so many “third-party” apps.
These 2 things are not related though? Reddit is not part of the fediverse and had plenty of third party apps until they changed the API.
Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.
However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.
Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
