what are the lemmy "format" alternatives besides its standard ui?

i'm currently using tesseract to view and post things, i've also heard of photon. are there any else?

Web app, specifically, or any apps?

I'm also familiar with these three (web) apps:

Alexandrite: https://alexandrite.app/
Mlmym (Old Reddit Lookalike): Not sure if there's an "open" instance of it, but several instances offer it. See https://old.lemmy.world/ for an example (not sure if SJW offers Mlmym or not).
Voyager: https://vger.app/

Might also also check out https://lemmyapps.com/ which has a good list that you can filter by platform/feature.

I use Alexandrite on my desktop and Voyager on my phone. Perfect experience for me.

Why no one is using boost, is it so bad?

I use boost, no problems

Hasn't been updated in a while, and it has a few bugs.

!voyagerapp@lemmy.world and !summit@lemmy.world devs are more active

Don’t forget https://quiblr.com/

which I think is the only one that has a true algorithm.

I'm using Thunder (app), first one I tried and it's basically what I had with RedReader so I've never really tried anything else.

ahh, thanks so much!

Do you also have the issue with Thunder, that you can't see votes on any posts/comments?

Do you have 'Show Post/Comment scores' enabled in your account setting. (Click 'Account' at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

That's it. Now it works. Thanks so much!

Not an answer to your question, but my experience of browsing lemmy has improved after hiding all scores.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I do not :o works just fine for me

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don't know if they have an iOS version but I'm on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar
