The one I’m using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Edit: I’m on android, currently using Jerboa.

    The absolute bare minimum is to show text as it was written. Most of the apps don’t even deal with formatting post correctly, so I am happy to stick with a browser.

    If your app of choice does not display the following correctly, let the devs know via a bug report

    Bold = Bold v. normal.
    Italic = Italic v. normal.
    Superscript = SuperScript v. normal.
    Subscript = Subscript v. normal.
    Strike-through = Strike-through v. normal.

      I’m also on Sync, but there are a few things I’m unhappy with that have me looking at other apps.

      First, the dev isn’t active on Lemmy. He’ll make an announcement post every few months and reply to comments for a couple of days before going radio silent again. I’m worried he’ll abandon the app out of disinterest or low motivation, like he did for a year after his UI refresh wasn’t well received back in the Reddit days.

      Second, that inactivity extends to app development. Major, easily replicated bugs (like the crash on startup if you have “hide account names” enabled) linger for weeks to months without a patch. This also goes back to the Reddit days and isn’t new behavior.

      Finally, he puts basic app features behind a paywall with a much higher price than normal IAPs ($16/year or $99 to permanently enable them). This includes features that used to be free in Sync, like tagging users or color highlights. It also includes things that Lemmy already does for free, like backing up subscriptions (though that was only recently added to Lemmy, so he might move it to the basic app eventually). Just removing ads with no other benefits costs $20, which is more than any app I’ve ever used charges.

      I just switched from Liftoff because it hasn’t received an update in 6 months and is now breaking. As of last week, it no longer opens the subbed list for me.

      I tried Voyager and Connect. It looks like I may be sticking with Connect, as I’m way happier with how smooth it is and the fact that it’s not harvesting my data like some of the more popular browsers.
