Try Summit for Lemmy, thank me later.

It is good to see you back!

I was a bit sad when I saw you released the new Boost version just a few days before the Reddit APIcalypse just because why not, I am glad you can keep your beloved project now with Lemmy!

Reddit getting rid of top notch quality apps such as Boost was definitely quite a dumb move.

This and the Zelda ones... I feel bad for wanting more remakes for the remake machine... But damn, those are good games.

I didn't know there was hype for new Pokémon games for the Switch 1... Unless I missed the joke.

I am a Spotify paid user (I paid with my gf the duo tier or whatever is called, she has an iOS device so she kinda needs it, I could live without it I guess), would I benefit from Spotify Revanced or xManager clients?

Something like having neat features with Smart Tube or YT Revanced with a YT premium subscription?

What if we wished to bring back officially 3rd party apps for Reddit only for 30 seconds, would that be a better meme?

I only have a Spanish one in my sight (it is like a reborn, I haven't even signed in yet, I had an account for the previous website) called foros dz.

I also have some other Spanish forums bookmarked, gaming related but I think they are just dead.

TBH it’s pretty barren. I noticed that even comment sections are drying up.

You mean across many websites don't you?

I definitely see a lot of websites with a comment box that it is just a wasteland lol.

I am sometimes like, jeez why even bother to include a comment box 🤣

I am bilingual too, but I don't understand the other languages that show in my feed but Spanish and English.

I don't have that issue with Lemmy, everything here is in English, and there used to be some Spanish communities (the instance might have died because it hasn't showed up in my feed for so long).

No time to self host their own social media I guess.

Yeah, and I am the one suffering blocking everyone lol.

I don't think it is that much for me, I kinda like "infinite content" what I don't like is being bombarded with content that is not in English or Spanish... Which I clearly specified within the Mastodon settings to be my preference... So I spend most of the time navigating through said hashtags feeds blocking users speaking in other languages 😑

It seems that the hashtags feed doesn't care about language preferences... Or the users posting don't follow the language rules or whatever.

Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.

If this is from a smartphone... I wouldn't I guess... I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature... It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn't even evolved? I can't be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.

Now you ignore the computer to browse the internet on your phone.

I am so impressed about the people that still mainly browse the Internet using a PC... But I am more impressed that people don't have a PC in their dwelling...

Maybe it is so millennial from my part, but in the house we still have a dedicated "PC room" with a printer that the whole family uses, of course our family browsing experience was almost exclusively done from said room years ago.

Yeah perhaps.

It wouldn't be the first time that scrolling issues exist in Android apps...now that I think about it, iOS should also handle the cache better for the app in the background (as long as it is not running extensive stuff in the background, like downloads in the background such as Spotify, Netflix, Plex etc. it won't be killed... Funny that it is the opposite with Android haha), so I suppose iOS users are more than happy with Voyager.

I was so happy when I could experience "Apollo" on my Android phone (I moved from iOS to Android several years ago and Apollo was the app I missed the most... Until I found Boost and Sync).

I love Voyager, but there are two issues that keep me from using it as much as I could:

1. Scrolling smoothness is not yet there compared to other apps, has it greatly improved? Yeah! Especially in the most recent updates, but I think it can improve more.
2. MIUI really don't like it lol, it kills the app so fast (it even kills it when using the inbuilt web browser sometimes) I tried all the good measures to try to keep it alive in the background without any luck.

Now that we are at it, it would be great that this app (and all the other Lemmy clients) always remembered where they were, even if the app gets closed... You know like Sync for Reddit/Lemmy does.

Even with those two bugs I still keep Voyager in my top 3 Lemmy clients!

Try Summit.

I'll reply with the all mighty answer:

It depends.

Depends on the people you are talking to I'd say.

I'd recommend Summit, Voyager and Boost instead (even when the latter could break too if the dev doesn't show up).

Heck, at this point Lemmy already delivers a better mobile experience because it actually supports 3rd party apps lol.

I don't know about you, but my feed has been way more varied in the last few weeks than some months ago, that plus Summit for Lemmy (android client app) I am missing Reddit less and less each day.

Even when we are in a different echo chamber, I can clearly notice I am not being fed up with an algorithm, everything feels more organic here, is it missing less mainstream communities? For sure, but that will come with the time, I was hesitant when the APIcalypse, but each Reddit update I am more confident the future looks brighter on this side.
