I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs

Edit: I apparently wasn't clear enough but I was asking for OTHER clients that aren't on this list X3 but feel free to share why u use an app in this list if u want anyway :3

Tested Raccoon and its basically like Jerboah but worse with too big UI, missing features and bugs.

Jerboah forever! Its the most stable Lemmy client and also full featured.

My only problem with Raccoon is that I can't make post titles large and the comment text normal. Everything is either too big or too small because there's only like 1 setting for all the text.

I really wish the dude who started Liftoff would give us an update or something. It's pretty damn perfect but it won't work with 0.19+ of Lemmy currently and it still has an issue where it repeats posts all the time.

Be nice if RIF became LIF. I liked RIF.

Hi and thanks for trying it out! I have been working on content font sizes (there were some rendering problems I realized) but I'm curious about having different dimensions for different parts of the content (currently there are two options, one for the menus/buttons of the app, the other for posts and comments). What more fine-grained control do you think would be useful?

What more fine-grained control do you think would be useful?

Post titles, body text, comment text, and usernames would be ideal.

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago

Seems legit! Thanks for answering so quickly I can definitely work on it! let's see if in future releases it improves. ty! 🙏

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 1 points 8 months ago

Done here, this week's development release will contain the new feature! Thanks again for the report.

That dev is now doing Three Cheers for Tildes

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You mean the RIF developer, right? If Tildes wasn't invite-only, I might have been on there instead of Lemmy.

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yes RIF. Tildes and 3 cheers is still pretty nascent.

I dunno, Raccoon seemed cool to me :3 It did feel similar to other apps but in a good way, but it's super laggy on my phone for some reason, apparently other people here dont have that issue but someone did have a different problem so I guess we all get a different bug at random LOL X3

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'll look into it: does it happen only in some screens (e.g. community detail or comment detail or settings) or in general the whole UI is lagging?

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Oh hi Raccoon guy! :3 I think it was certain UI elements that took like a second to load, like if I tap the three lines to open the sidebar where I can log-in and stuff or the little icon at the other side to sort posts or the all/local buttons inside the sidebar, that's all I could try rn without logging in but I think it also happened when going in and out of DMs

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What features are missing that you would like to see? Apart from the text size, what are the other bugs you found? I just ask you to take a couple of minutes to answer, I think the project is very poorly maintained but no one's voice has ever been ignored.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lots of dialogs where a bit messed up, for example the answer or the report one. Not sure. It was mainly that text boxes appeared on wrong places, too low or high and the rest was black.

Not sure tbh, cannot give a good report sorry.

Missing:

  • view absolute ratings like jerboah (not only the final score, like 100+ 200- instead of just 100-)

Ok the drop downs I see. thanks! As for the vote format, you can choose the "separate" option to split positive and negative votes:

I use Eternity because Jerboa's scrolling was fucked up for me for months.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Tried Eternity, was a blessing for Reddit but I dont think I need it for Lemmy
