I’m finding that I like bits and pieces from the various available frontends, but I haven’t heavily gravitated towards one in particular.
If you have gravitated towards a specific UI, which one and why?
Sync for days
On mobile it’s Voyager. On desktop it’s the default Lemmy UI with the darkly-compact theme. The latter definitely feels like a modern old.reddit.
I’m also using these CSS overrides (using the Stylus extension on Firefox) as darkly-compact’s line-height is too small and videos/GIFs stretched too much:
.post-listing {
line-height: 1.5 !important;
}
video {
width: 25vw !important;
}
I just got back into Lemmy and Alexandrite is nice. Boost just launched in beta on Android and seems solid and pretty to boot.
I’m very happy Boost is out now. I’ve been worried the Lemmy version wouldn’t be released before the mod workaround for reddit stopped working.
Now I can abandon reddit.
If you’re the mod of any subreddit, including one you create and set to private from the web interface of reddit, your account is allowed full use of the API even with 3rd party apps.
Everything mostly works as normal besides a couple bugs from an antiquated app/reddit trying to break things. Single images can’t be posted but multiple at the same time can, something to do with the integration with the image hosts. NSFW and the bulk of the app work like before though.

I’ve settled on Memmy (which I think is iOS only). I like that it’s pretty true — maybe 100% true — to the Lemmy web app’s features but with more of a designer’s eye, I guess. Just a lil’ polish. Not trying to be something the backend isn’t ready for.
Memmy is very buggy and crashes a lot. It was a strong contender 2 months ago. But the developer, by his own admission, can’t be arsed to update it in a timely fashion. In the intervening weeks strong contenders for iOS have arisen. I think Lemma is the most promising, although it’s available via TestFlight at the moment.
I’ve been very happy with Memmy but noticed the updates have gone way down. It’s unfortunate they’ve lost some interest.
Boost. Always has been, always will be.
