Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
I’d recommend voyager first it’s what I’ve been mostly using and since I started there’s been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It’s been pretty incredible to see! There’s also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I’ve been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

I tried to use that feature but it looks like reddit has broken two factor auth on their website. I literally can no longer login through a web browser like the tools instructions say to do.
Ribbit
I second liftoff. Just an overall great UI
Yo, anyone happens to know how to make Infinity For Everything work with Lemmy? Like, I know I need to point it to lemmy (dunno if website or API) but I don’t know how
Any user or community just has to be prepended with
lemmy:, for example hitGo to Userand enterlemmy:efraimbartto view my profile. To view any community or user not on the default instance you can append@<instance>to it, for examplelemmy:efraimbart@lemmy.world.
Voyager is what I use, a web app. You can use it as https://m.lemmy.world and is a very easy URL to remember. Moreover, at work the proxies filters do not block it!
I’d just use the officialy hosted one cause the lemmyworld admin has yet to automate updates and voyager updates FAST.
You can try Memmy. Smoothest for me with daily updates.
Mlem is an incredibly nice app for IOS users, it reminds me of Apollo so I feel right at home!
Mlem beta test is full right now unfortunately
I’m using Jerboa.
Currently using Liftoff.
100% full agree.

Liftoff for f-droid FTW! 🥳
Tip: try sorting by hot instead of active. Gets better results imho. Also Top 6 hours.
Sort by New. There’s all sorts of weird stuff popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
Hot show me the hottest 4 yeard old posts. Top day and less is the best.
I’ve heard there’s a bug that can cause old posts to show in Hot if your instance admins haven’t restarted Lemmy in a while.
This should be long fixed. I think people who have been taking about this recently are in instances that are having trouble helping up with traffic? Definitely not sure
Maybe can be, I’m in a relatively small instance (I think less than 600 users).
Huh, hot never seems to show me old posts. It’s not something that should be app specific, right?
Hot has been showing me old posts… today only. really weird.
Oh. I haven’t used it much today so I guess I can’t know.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml
Good bot
I have no clue what that bot means.
It means that when you link a community with URL (like https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse), it will not work for people who are not on lemmy.ml, because they won’t be logged in on lemmy.ml. If you link like !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml, the instances will open the link correctly (so for example I am on lemmings.world, and the link for me will be transformed into https://lemmings.world/c/snoocalypse@lemmy.ml which allows me to interact with the community).
Okay, but I don’t recall even inserting a link into my post. I’m a total noob here and still trying to figure out the jargon, conventions and design of this platform. I probably just need to do some research, but thanks for responding.
It wasn’t replying to you, it was replying to a comment that shared a link.

If you’re on iOS, checkout Memmy in the App Store, or Mlem in a couple days.
Or goto https://m.lemmy.world/ and use the Voyager web app clone of Apollo.
I prefer Kbin but I’ll be switching to Boost for Lemmy when it’s available since I used Boost for Reddit before it stopped working.
Also waiting for boost. Will probably pay for it, again, too, since every issue I ever had with the reddit app I got a direct response from the dev.
What is the difference between kbin and Lemmy ? Is it just a different instance?
Kbin and Lemmy are different software that have communities (magazines on Kbin) where people post content and have threaded discussions. Very much reddit-like.
There are many instances of both Kbin and Lemmy.
Kbin and Lemmy do federate, i.e. ‘talk’ to each other via the same protocol. This means you can see and interact with content regardless which of the two software an instance has chosen. It’s not perfect, e.g. I believe some minor features are not compatible (yet) and I have experienced that federation doesn’t always work, but hopefully this all becomes smoother when both mature.
Different platform (software) but they still talk to each other, so same content. Check kbin.social
I’ve tried a few iOS apps but keep coming back to Memmy
Memmy’s my go to, but it’s only on iOS currently and OP is on android
Welcome. Android or iOS?
Android!
I like Jerboa.
https://lemmyapps.netlify.app has a great list.
Voyager is great. I tried Jerboa and it wasn’t.
