What is the best app to browse Lemmy
I currently use Blorp
I heard Jerboa is also good which one are you using? Best if app is available on fdroid
I bounce between Boost & Voyager. Will be checking out Blorp myself, thanks!
I like Blorp but it could do with showing parent comment while replying.
Yeah I’m asking for other app mainly for this reason.
Blorp dev here. What if I fix this in the text release? Would that convince you to stick around?
Looks good but have you considered something like reddit bubble, you can scroll all replies without closing editor. I like Blorp better but reddit bubble is very convenient.
Also when there is draft comment, if not troublesome add some indicator that there is draft on reply button.
At first I was surprised when I used Blorp how to reply for main post and took me embarrassingly log to figure out you write it on bottom, suggestion add also reply button to post similar to when you reply to comment.
Yeah, there are a few things that Reddit does better. Just gotta take baby steps, but we’ll get there. This is the easiest solution to implement right now, so I’m going to start here. But I agree that I can be even better.
Summit is absolutely wonderful

Blorp dev here. What I can I do to bring Blorp to the top of the list in your opinion?

Sync
you’ll be experiencing problems soon. I recommend you switch to something else, like summit.
sync dev abandoned the project and ran away with the subscription money without any notice
I use Thunder, and I am very happy with it generally.
I used to use (and paid for) Sync for Lemmy previously, but I had the impression bugs didn’t get fixed, so I switched away from them.I’ve been using interstellar (alexandrite on desktop) for some time and rather like it. Nice clean and useful UI, a bit buggy at times. Only other one I tried was voyager but wasn’t a huge fan.
Summit, by far. Voyager gets a lot of recommendations but it’s not nearly as slick.
I’m trying Blorp right now, since I do not want to figure out how to side load Jerboa onto my Android. (Thanks Google you bag of dicks.) So far Blorp is great, my only complaint being I wish three was a way to increase text/font size because I am old now and my eyeballs don’t work as well as they did.
Blorp dev here. I think you should be able to increase this via some system setting, though admittedly I’ve only tested this on iOS. The goal was to read whatever os preference you set for font size, but if this isn’t working for people, I may need to add an app level override.
I made the native font bigger on my phone and it fixed it. Thanks!
Used to love jerboa but stopped working for me. I think is because of my instance. I use photon now, it’s ok.
Summit’s an easy recommendation.
Is summit foss?
On its github there is no license.
AGPL3.0, according to this repo.
Boost for Lemmy. I love it.
Big fan of Thunder app. Great FOSS option and has tons of customization options!
honestly Thunder doesn’t get enough love in posts like these. you often expect FOSS apps to not be very good, but I can’t imagine using anything other than Thunder at this point
Could not agree more! Thunder is actually better experience than some of the paid apps I used for Reddit… You know when they still had an option for a non-shit tier mobile experience 😬
Firefox.
Waterfox, it’s a fork of Firefox with no AI slop.
You don’t need an app, just open it in browser.
