The one I’m using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Edit: I’m on android, currently using Jerboa.

    What OS? For iOS I’ve used quite a few and voyager has been the best of them all

    The absolute bare minimum is to show text as it was written. Most of the apps don’t even deal with formatting post correctly, so I am happy to stick with a browser.

    If your app of choice does not display the following correctly, let the devs know via a bug report

    Bold = Bold v. normal.
    Italic = Italic v. normal.
    Superscript = SuperScript v. normal.
    Subscript = Subscript v. normal.
    Strike-through = Strike-through v. normal.

      Thunder is probably the best for me so far (it has the ability to show upvotes/downvote the way I want).

      I used Infinity for reddit back in the day and I see eternity is about to have a new release, so I might or might not switch to eternity.

      Those two seem to be the best I’ve found.

    It would probably help if you mentioned which app you are having issues with and what device you are using. I recently stopped using Jerboa because of login issues and started using Voyager. I find it’s less of a smooth experience but some of the other bugs I had with Jerboa like back spacing removing the space before the previous word aren’t present.

    Saved posts are linked with your account. If you login to your account in a web browser you should be able to find it under your profile followed by the saved section.

      Ya it’s jerboa, I didn’t want to shoot them in the foot in case it’s only me. It’s also free, so I don’t want to complain too much.

      It keeps resetting my feed to local active after I scroll past a dozen posts. I do quite enjoy the feel of it though.

      I just switched from Liftoff because it hasn’t received an update in 6 months and is now breaking. As of last week, it no longer opens the subbed list for me.

      I tried Voyager and Connect. It looks like I may be sticking with Connect, as I’m way happier with how smooth it is and the fact that it’s not harvesting my data like some of the more popular browsers.

    Boost. One-time cheap payment to get rid of ads. No subscription like Sync (which is otherwise also a great app; it was not subscription based when it was available for Reddit).

    I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, “Connect” For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.

      I’m also on Sync, but there are a few things I’m unhappy with that have me looking at other apps.

      First, the dev isn’t active on Lemmy. He’ll make an announcement post every few months and reply to comments for a couple of days before going radio silent again. I’m worried he’ll abandon the app out of disinterest or low motivation, like he did for a year after his UI refresh wasn’t well received back in the Reddit days.

      Second, that inactivity extends to app development. Major, easily replicated bugs (like the crash on startup if you have “hide account names” enabled) linger for weeks to months without a patch. This also goes back to the Reddit days and isn’t new behavior.

      Finally, he puts basic app features behind a paywall with a much higher price than normal IAPs ($16/year or $99 to permanently enable them). This includes features that used to be free in Sync, like tagging users or color highlights. It also includes things that Lemmy already does for free, like backing up subscriptions (though that was only recently added to Lemmy, so he might move it to the basic app eventually). Just removing ads with no other benefits costs $20, which is more than any app I’ve ever used charges.

    Sync for Lemmy

    Sync was my go-to Reddit app for nearly 9 years.

    It does have ads, but with a one time purchase you can get rid of them. I’ve paid that and then I also plan on getting the subscription in the future for additional features.

    The price is definitely a bit on the higher side, but I’m happy to support the development of the app I left Reddit for.

    If you are able to, please support the apps and Lemmy instances you use.
