I've been using Sync for a while, but it repeatedly hits an error when I try to submit posts to Beehaw. I have not tried other instances, but I am assuming this issue is specific to Sync. Getting really sick of drafting posts and then having to discard them because the app errors out ๐Ÿคฆ

Liftoff... but I wouldn't recommend it.

It hasn't been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.

Sync... was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.

I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.

I'm surprised you're able to continue using Liftoff at all. It doesn't work what-so-ever with any instance (like you can't log in) on any version of Lemmy beyond 0.19. I finally retired using it when my primary instance updated.

[โ€“] jarfil 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah... Beehaw is still on 0.18.4, guess my days of using Liftoff are coming to an end sooner or later.

Beehaw won't update so you are fine

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ride that pony as long as you can, friend. I still hope that the dev will come back ๐Ÿฅน

[โ€“] jarfil 1 points 9 months ago

Looking into it, seems like Liftoff is a fork of Lemmur, which was a nlnet project [1] that got archived "due to lack of interest and political differences" a few months after the funding ended. Can't find who's now in charge of the Liftoff org on GitHub, so it's hard to tell who should come back ๐Ÿค”

Firefox. I'm using the normal website interface.

I use Connect. It's perfect for me and has lots of customization options. I love it! Raccoon is good, too, I just prefer Connect.

I moved to Connect this week, coming from Liftoff and Thunder. It feels stable in an old tablet. No obvious issues yet.

I alternate between Jerboa and Summit because Jerboa looks nicer, but Summit has more features and a much better search function. Tho I am not happy with Jerboa's last update that changed how votes are displayed and there's no options to go back to what it was.

Edit: lol Jerboa just updated and added an option for the old score view.

I use connect to browse.

I tried sync for a little but honestly it's very underwhelming compared to the reddit version. Nowhere as smooth plus dev is constantly disappearing for months on end.

[โ€“] theangriestbird 1 points 9 months ago

interesting you say that, bc i think i'm gonna do the reverse. Sync for browse and Connect for post. Maybe your way is smarter, but i paid for the premium sync so idk. sunk cost fallacy or something lol

Just the lemmy website in firefox for android.

[โ€“] baggins 2 points 9 months ago

Vivaldi. No problems at all.

I use Connect.

I used to use Jerboa but it broke after an update and I switched over, I found it to be a better UX on Connect.

Eternity, used to use infinity before trddit shat itself

Started out using Jerboa since that was it and Baconreader didn't do Lemmy. Now, I'm using Sync and Summit for Beehaw.

The Web version of old.lemmy.ca, though my phone only runs apps up to android 4.3 and isn't exactly android based
