there is also strong positive feedback loop, i guess... among the early adopters who are already here are people who deployed their own instance and found that only way to fix something is to do it themselves and commit the fix ;)
It has a similar feel, somehow. Glad it was the first app I picked here as I went through quite a few reddit apps before eventually settling for Infinity.
Today is my first jerboa day coming from baconreader and it took me over an hour to sign in... I am a literal rocket scientist with a PhD. This switch from Reddit is gonna be hard...
Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it's already a pleasure to use.
I have 4 mobile iOS apps on TestFlight. They seem to get big updates daily. I know lemon will be coming soon. So that will be 5. Things are moving fast.
I have 8 Android apps downloaded. I get multiple updates per day. I'm subscribed to GitHub release notification and my email is blowing up nonstop.
Everyone is working hard, which is great. Just a few weeks ago when I joined Lemmy the Jerboa app was pretty shit. I'd give it a 2/10. Now it's a solid 6/10. Just needs more features and to stop timing out every 60 seconds.
Feels very Apollo like with things like slide to upvote and reply
Doesn’t seem to be able to handle inline images and media (so you sometimes miss post information)
Switching to new communities is not intuitive (you have to click the community name and type with the “Subscribed” toggle pane open)
No guides on how Markdown works
No message inbox
Memmy
Has an inbox (not something I’ve seen from the others)
Has Apollo like slide interactions
Easy to find and switch communities
Text is a little too small
Found a couple of visual bugs (obviously this is all very beta!)
Liftoff
Seems to show all the post information you could want (community it was posted too, which community that user is part of, etc)
Feels a little bit like the official reddit app
No Apollo like slide interactions
Some interesting choices when trying to find communities (showing the full sidebar)
Colours are a little constrasty
A couple of UI bugs
I don’t love the rounded corners on everything out of the box
Thunder
Pretty polished
Slide interactions are great
Nice Markdown editor
Not found any graphical bugs
Some UI elements (subbing / unsubbing from a community) aren’t always clear
Written in flutter so may not give a true “native” experience
It probably wouldn't have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.
Hm. I was quite lucky to only have one such encounter. It was some bot inviting people with a certain prefix in their username to a chat, posted one link and then was silent. The group of 50+ people then decided to repurpose the chat to be for an honorable committee, making plans to freeze the world (fighting global warming), throwing a nuke at a bright house of a (at that time) high-positioned person in the USA, overthrowing the danish government (idk why or who started it) and some more stuff.
It even spawned a subreddit :))
It was a nice chat group actually, though with time, many left. I think it might be barely over 20 people left now, and no one's said anything in a few months now.
I don't think that's possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says "send encrypted message". You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.

May their servers be strong, and their storage consistent!

I got lots and lots and lots of ram and CPU ready for the occasion.
Although- physical hardware hasn't been the issue with many of the performance issues with lemmy.

You, my friend, may your CPU's never stall and your RAM never exhaust. May the gods of IT bless your hardware for the beloved stability for centuries

You're not wrong lol though tbf 0.18.0 made Lemmy quite a bit more usable for me.

I just made my first contribution to liftoff and now I got the hang of it. I want to do a lot more.
KD_14@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y
Ya hopefully it starts picking up even more. I also just started up.
RomanRoy@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 3y
That's great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.
I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.

JCreazy@midwest.social · 19 pts · 3y
I don't know which app to settle on since they are being updated so frequently. Thunder and Jerboa are my top contenders at the moment.
Brahm1nmam@lemmy.sdf.org · 15 pts · 3y
Coming from Infinity for Reddit, I've been really enjoying Jerboa
fruity@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
It has a similar feel, somehow. Glad it was the first app I picked here as I went through quite a few reddit apps before eventually settling for Infinity.
twhite@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 3y
+1 for Jerboa if you're coming from Sync. Very similar style, and it just works 😃

Can you recommend one? I’m on MemmyApp currently, and the basic functionality mostly works, but I wouldn’t mind trying other options.

I don't know, but isn't infinity planning to go subscription once the changes take effect? This would make think they'll keep their efforts there
AnonLordo@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y
Ask OP. He's the dev of https://wefwef.app, a PWA for Lemmy. Github, Lemmy Community .
My favorite Lemmy app so far.
@aeharding: thanks for this great app.

Its called matrix
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org · 10 pts · 3y
Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 3y
It is already embedded
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 3y
Could you explain? Lemmy runs on ActivityPub.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip · 18 pts · 3y
You can add you matrix info under your profile. If you have a matrix handle the send secure message button will appear
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org · 5 pts · 3y
Oh really! That's neat.
JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml · 17 pts · 3y
That's not really Lemmy's purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.

I get that it's unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?
deegeese@sopuli.xyz · 11 pts · 3y
I don't want a bunch of fucking randos trying to chat me up. If I wanted live chat I wouldn't be Reddit (or Lemmy) in the first place.

It probably wouldn't have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.
