scrolling on mobile just give you a different feeling, i prefer scrolling on pc but hey, everyone have their preference and i respect it :)

I find Lemmy to be best on mobile/tablet tbh, primarily with Voyager or Eternity

[–] anisphia@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm using sync and yes, lemmy works best on mobile

[–] simple@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using https://alexandrite.app, aside from the fact that it's very clean it lets you open posts without leaving your feed which is awesome. I spend most of my time on mobile though, and for that I use Liftoff.

it’s very clean it lets you open posts without leaving your feed

this is literally why i use alaxandrite

Currently enjoying the Eternity experience. It is still being developed and reshaped for Lemmy as it was off of the Infinity for Reddit project, but the UI is quite please.

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I was an Infinity for Reddit user for years and I loved it. I'm so pleased its now working on Lemmy as Eternity. Sync was ok, but Eternity for Lemmy just feels like home, it's great.

Sync on mobile

Alexandrite too on desktop, love the columnar layout. I’ve not had any problems with it at all … what are the bugs you’ve found?

On mobile I just go with default web ui.

[–] anisphia@ani.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

look at this (if you see cloudflare argo tunnel errors, thats probably mean i turned my laptop off)

i assume its my addon's issue but i dont really know which one, or it just the website itself

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen that error before. I got couldnt_find_that_username_or_email (status 400). I did a search for the username and nothing turned up either.

I really enjoy Thunder

In Alexandrite, is there a way to link to users or communities other than typing the link manually using markdown syntax? For example, in the official Lemmy frontend, typing ! begins a search for matching community names; I don't know if there is similar functionality for usernames.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As far as I know, no, there's no autocomplete for that. But you don't have to write the whole link, just writing the community name (like !asklemmy@lemmy.ml) or the user (like @TurboLag@lemmings.world) and it should turn them into links automatically.

[–] TurboLag@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, interesting! They do both turn into links on Alexandrite, but on the official frontend and on Photon only the community does (the user stays as plain text).

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's weird, because that's the official way to tag someone. So even if it doesn't turn into a link, the user should be notified.

photon on desktop and Eternity on my phone

[–] TurboLag@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Eternity is excellent! I didn't like it at first because it seemed cluttered, but after using it for a while, it's become my favourite Android client!

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Used Infinity before reddit killed it so this was the most logical decision for me

[–] Eikichi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I personnaly use the default one, with vaporwave-light's theme

[–] EponymousBosh 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa on mobile, haven't played around with desktop much.

wefwef/voyager and thunder app
