I've got Connect and Liftoff installed and I can't figure out how to view all my subscriptions in a feed in Connect. Am I just tired or is this a pending feature? Thanks in advance!

Lemmy App List

Jerboa. When my previous preferred discussion forum decided to erect a paywall, closing out third-party apps, I came here; and searching for Lemmy on f-droid got me Jerboa. For a while, the app was spontaneously exiting, but before I was driven to try another, it seemed to have gotten fixed.
As someone who tried a lot of Reddit apps before settling on Boost's list view, Jerboa and Thunder have ended up at the top of my list. Jerboa does pretty much everything I want it to, and now that I'm on a smaller instance everything has been pretty stable for me.
Thunder is SO clean though, with UI that's just wonderful to look at. The dev has been SO friendly and super responsive, and every alpha release has only improved on the features I'm looking for. If you like a good compact view and you're okay with swipe voting (at least until voting arrows are added, which I believe is on the longer-term roadmap), Thunder is on track to be top of the pack. This was after trying but not vibing as much with Liftoff, Connect, Summit, etc.
Also, other interested developers - Thunder is open source, so if it looks good to you and you think you could help make it even better, go check out the Github!
All that said, I am SO excited that Boost is going to be a Lemmy client. I have a feeling Boost and Thunder will both end up on my phone in the end. :) Excited to see so many stellar apps to choose from this early in my Lemmy journey!
Thunder has very high potential, its UI is vastly superior to Liftoff, currently my biggest issue is with its loading speed, it's unbelievably slow. Liftoff on the other hand has terrible UI, but amazing functionality while being extremely fast and open-source too.
Switching to a smaller instance mitigated a lot of slowdown for me, but the dev is working on further loading improvements! Maybe check back in a week or two?
I tried Jerboa and it was okay. I'm now using Connect and it is fantastic!
In terms of web apps, I've tried:
- Voyager (formerly wefwef)
- Photon ~~shameless plug~~
For android apps, I'm waiting for Sync.
I've tried all the apps in the play store but haven't found one that lets me doomscroll horizontally by swiping right. Anyone know if I'm just a idiot or do none of them have that functionality?
I'm making a web app at the moment for personal use. So far, you can scroll posts, sort, filter, upvote, downvote, view one comment page, view a user's posts, view a community's posts, subscribe / block users and communities... and that's about it
Ironically, since it doesn't have the blur NSFW post feature yet, it's a much better client for browsing NSFW communities than established clients :D
Absolutely not ready for prime time yet; there's no deployment, you have to build it from source and it you can't even comment. https://github.com/NatoBoram/Leanish
From the screenshot it looks like you can type in the page number? That's pretty neat
It's honestly something I have always wanted from Reddit. You know that moment when you open a post, do stuff, go back and then suddenly you lost your scroll position and you have to go back to where you were and it takes so much time that you just close the app? Yeah, fuck that.
I'm thinking about infinite scrolling in a way that edits the page number automatically so that you can go back even if you reload the page, but it's definitely not a priority at the moment. I'd rather add basic features like commenting and posting first. And maybe basic mod tools, since it's always something that third-party apps lack for some reason.
Nice, I look forward to seeing how it comes along! Let me know when it's more functional and I can also add it to our sticky post.
I have something: https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.world/c/leanish@lemmy.world
There's no Android build yet since it's easier to just focus on features first and deployment later, but I do plan on having a SSR build, a PWA build and an Android build.
