I thought it would be a cool idea to do a poll right before the year ends to see what everyone is using
Sync!
It was nice to migrate straight from Reddit and have the app seamlessly just switch right over.
Yep! Sync was one of the easiest app purchases I’ve made in a long time. I spent probably 3 hours a day on average on Reddit, including both business and personal uses. It was well worth the money for something I rely on so heavily.
Though, I’m a bit concerned about Dawson; it seems he’s gone dark.
He’s done that in the past and may do it again.
He is an amazing developer but I can’t help but think that he overworks himself.
Yeah, honestly I don’t care as much about the app getting more updates as I do hope his mental health is good. But honestly it could just as easily be me projecting my own demotivators on him. He could just be chilling on a beach taking a nice year break.
Yeah, I remember that from Reddit as well. I just hope he’s doing ok tbh
I’m not him, and don’t know him, but I can say that I’m the type to make fuck tons of progress on my projects in like a month, and then disappear for a month. For me it’s not burnout or overwork, I just get in the groove and pour everything into my software and then fall out of it for a bit.
I’ve had some users poke me about my Steam Deck plugin recently. I might go back to it eventually, but it feels “done” for now. I’m sure once I get another good idea for it and hit that groove I’ll be back to frequent updates.
Considering he has a history of it I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a similar story. Hope he’s doing well.
Same! I’m actually shocked it’s winning the poll. Not because it isn’t awesome I just never see anyone talking about it whereas others are always talked about. It’s such a seamless transaction from reddit.
Voyager, with Avelon as backup to find already read hidden posts as Voyager is a bit of a pain for that.
also
Lemmy as a whole is a pain for that. It’s one thing when in the feed I read/vote/comment something and I want that hidden from the feed to remove clutter. But when I specifically search for it or browse a community I don’t want those posts hidden. Obviously.
Yeah, it’s easy to hide but difficult to show hidden in most apps. That’s why I appreciate Avelon’s “Show Read Posts” option under the 3 dots on the main feed.
I use Avelon, with Voyager as backup.
I also cannot vote for the same reason.
Sync was Reddit for me. Sync is Lemmy for me.
Eternity has been perfect for my needs after Liftoff went on break. I can’t vote because of my VPN, though.
Edit: That is, I can’t vote on Strawpoll. Eternity works perfectly!
Really??
I van vote just fine on my VPN with eternity. I did it right now.
Yeah, it’s a Strawpoll issue, not an Eternity one. For some reason “VPN voting is not allowed”. I could definitely bounce around servers/protocols to find one that works, but I’m not in the mood.
Thunder for now, unless Liftoff gets patched for 0.19
Was Jerboa, but a version issue forced me to Voyager. I’m happy with Voyager too.
Yeah. I started with jerboa initially then jumped on eternity for some time. Now using voyager.
Sync as my daily driver. Connect as my backup.
Summit, jerboa, liftoff, voyager, and boost all get occasional use.
I was using Memmy initially but ran into an issue with top comments not being displayed.
I’ve since switched to Voyager and it’s pretty good so far. A few quirks that I think are still being worked through with swipe navigation, but I’m sure it’ll get pinned down.
That’s good to know. I’m new and by chance fell into Memmy. It’s always weird and crashes randomly.
Primarily was Liftoff, but since the dev is busy with IRL. Then I moved to Jerboa as the main app.
I tried a bunch of the iOS ones and ended up on Mlem. Feels akin to Apollo, as most seem to.
Yeah, you can tell it’s a native app. I love Memmy too but it’s just not as smooth, and it gets auto closed way more than Mlem.
Mlem for iOS has been really good. They also have an active dev scene on GitHub too.
For iOS it’s Voyager or the browser for me. I’m still hooked on old.style.
Still on Jerboa because it reminds me of Baconreader
Thunder
I have like five apps. Voyager is the one I use most. Second is eternity, third is connect. Jerboa is ok, but it always has some small issues.
