I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

Kbin + kbin enhancement script + ublock through a Kiwi Browser "app" install. I tried all the Lemmy specific apps, including wefwef, and couldn't stand any of them. Some were completely borked because beehaw was still on .17, others were incredibly buggy or they had very weird layout & design choices that made the usability experience just too weird.

As a kbin user do these apps work for that or not? I chose kbin because i prefer the web UX.

The web ui is solid, but still patiently waiting for the Artemis app. Looks like it’s shaping up nice.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Same, really looking forward to a public release for Artemis!

I use kbin as well. As you stated, the interface is appealing.
I just migrated to the Lemmyverse so I'm trying new stuff out but so far, kbin is for me.

Tried lemmy and hated all that whitespace, kinda reminded me why I dislike normal reddit and always used old.reddit instead. So yeah, im a kbiner :)

You can browse in dark mode. It is available in the settings. Some instances allow for compact dark mode as well.

I went from never using Lemmy to using it so much more just from that simple change.

[–] RetroHitch@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

When i say whitespace i just mean the generic amount of empty space not the opposite of dark mode :)

I tried it, i fiddled with options but kbin just feels better for me and is easier to fit for me as a reddit replacement than the others. Lemmy is def a 2nd choice though, the rest are all awful.

I'm with Liftfoff, until Beyond reaches its usable stage (RIP Infinity).

[–] LemmyKravitz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

jerboa, liftoff & wefwef, although I see liftoff more.

[–] Mateng@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

Jerboa and connect.

I like both and switch back and forth.

Mlem. Early but good :D

[–] ruschroe@lemmy.ruud.je 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on iOS. I've tried Liftoff!, Mlem and Thunder. So far I like Mlem the most.

I have never used Boost for Reddit, but I'm still excited to see what Boost for Lemmy will be like.

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you liked Apollo, try wefwef.app

It’s a PWA but works extraordinarily well

[–] ruschroe@lemmy.ruud.je 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks, I'll check it out.

[–] Tag365@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm on iOS and I'm using Mlem. It seems to be changing and shifting rapidly. Already changed noticeably 3 or so times within three to five weeks. Imagine if Reddit app fixed three to five of the bugs that most annoyed me that quickly...
