I’m using Memmy but trying to read comments in my notifications crashes the app half the time and seems like it’s not getting updates.
Any good alternatives that can actually handle comments on Lemmy?
Same! There are still a few glitches that need to be worked out, but crashing happens rarely. If the app does crash in the middle of typing something, it saves it for the next time you open the app. The creator is active and makes regular updates so I’m very happy with this app.
I keep switching between Voyager and Avelon. I like both of them and am having trouble deciding which I like better.
Same here, currently using Avelon and pretty happy with it… Voyager dev recently announced he’ll be working on it less going forward which may or may not be an issue 🤷🏻♂️
Both definitely feel like using “Apollo for Lemmy” though 👍
Yup, that’s actually the reason I checked out Avelon. Voyager is great, but it’ll be hard to keep up if it’s being worked on less. It’s too bad because it’s a great app! I certainly understand you can’t put too much into something you make no money from although I would pay for it at this point!
You could help pay for it! I contribute $5/month to the creator.
I’ve been loving Voyager myself but I’d also recommend giving Avelon and Lemmios a shot too.
I am loving Memmy! Feels the most Apollo like.
Memmy was on track for a while but imo their user interface is awful in comparison to Apollo. I’d highly recommend checking out Voyager if you liked Apollo’s interface, its almost a 1:1 copy
It’s cluttered, especially the comments. Instead of using the existing ‘up arrow/comment count’ (to the right of usernames) as a vote button (like almost every other app has done), they added 3 net-new buttons to the lower right of every single comment for upvote/downvote/reply.
Another vote for Voyager here, works well
