Donut , in Lemmy apps that can swipe to next post?

Leaving a comment to check back in later. I'm wondering what choices there are as well. Swiping to next post would be neat

You can save posts, at least in the web view of Lemmy but whether a particular app has it or not I don't know. In the web view it's the star icon to the right of the reply button.

CapnAssHolo OP ,

Eternity, Connect and Boost does this. But I like eternity's iteration of swipe navigation the most for the time being.

Donut ,

I'm using Sync and when it was Sync for reddit I believe it was possible. Perhaps it's now a premium feature, idk. But I'm not paying for premium when the developer goes dark between updates. Not saying his development method is wrong, but it's just not for me.

CapnAssHolo OP ,

I dont think Sync for Lemmy has swipe option though. I did ask LJ about it and he said there was no current plan to add that feature

I'm only aware of one app that can do this: Boost. But unfortunatly, it's proprietary.

Thunder currently has an open issue for this, the dev is quite open to working on it. They want to rewrite the post area of the app anyway, so that's when they will probably add swiping between posts.

CommunityLinkFixer Bot ,

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: !boostforlemmy

Thunder maybe?

If you're on Android (mentioning Boy, so probably not) the official Lemmy app, Jerboa, is great.

JaymesRS , in Can somebody explain how to add a picture to a comment on Avelon?

I can’t speak specifically to Avelon because I don’t know how it handles (or if it even does handle) uploads, but for posing a picture on a third party site like tinypic, the markdown structure is:

![Alt Text](pictureurl.com)

That’s what I use in mlem.

Mlem dev here - we added a button for this to both the post editor and comment editor in our 1.3 update.

Jerboa, IMO. The UI is acceptable. There aren't many bugs. It's updated with good regularity. Because it's the most common, it's also the most supported. It may not be exciting, but it's pretty set-and-forget as far as configuration and troubleshooting goes.

Grandsinge , in best lemmy app for android

I really like Connect. Not sure if it's "the best" but it's free and does everything I need it to.

kakes ,

In always surprised that Connect isn't more popular. I use it daily and it's been a pretty great experience so far.

Voyager and Summit. End of story.

victorz ,

So which one is the best?

WeAreAllOne ,
@WeAreAllOne@lemm.ee avatar

I tend to use Summit 90% of the time.

victorz ,

Cool cool 👍

I like Summit. Don't like the permissions that Sync and Boost require. Connect is OK.

Summit rocks. Great app and a great dev as well. They're very active and quick on bug fixes and feature requests.

@shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol avatar

Summit is the best.

BlanK0 , in best lemmy app for android

I like eternity personally.

@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It is nice but development seems to finally have stopped. That said, right now it works perfectly fine. Just once Lemmy servers undergo major changes it might not anymore.

Weslee ,

I switched from liftoff to eternity because dev of liftoff stopped, it seems I'm the curse that kills whatever app I decide to use 😂

rescue_toaster ,

I switched to raccoon from eternity due to eternity not being updated anymore.

jacktherippah ,

Seems dead unfortunately. I loved it too.

0_0 , in best lemmy app for android

I'm using Thunder and it's perfect for me

Jerboa.

Raccoon 👍🏼 & Voyager 🙌🏼

If you prefer an open source app, native, complete, with a decent UI and an active developer community, the official one is definitely the best. And I mean Jerboa, because it is the official client made by the very same people that are making Lemmy (so always compatible and up-to-date with the server development).

Otherwise, if you don't mind using a closed source app, Summit is the most feature rich one and it is maintained by a professional industry-level native Android developer who really knows what he's doing.

Finally, if you want to experiment with a cross platform app, open source and well maintained, with a really nice user interface, have a try with Thunder.

@dessalines is this true? Do you release Jerboa in tandem with Lemmy versions?
