I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that's open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

Using liftoff until sync is out

Part of me feels bad for all of the homegrown Lemmy apps. They won't compare to the reconfigured Reddit apps.

[–] Sponholz@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Not entirely true, while I'm a huge fan of Boost and Sync, I'd say that the more options the better.

Different apps for different tastes, just need to remember when Sync made a huge overhaul of the interface, I love the new one, while others couldn't stand it. So LJ made an option to restore the old look of the app.

Is liftoff homegrown?

[–] Aftermath6187@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming it's not a simple port. They'll probably be buggy at first.

[–] vividspecter@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'll use any app that remains FOSS so that likely rules out most reddit apps.

[–] MaverickWolf@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Similar but I'm using liftoff until Boost comes out.

And I'm on Liftoff waiting for Infinity.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a Lemmy fork in the works? As I understand, the developer is going to stick with Reddit and make the app subscription-based.

[–] Reorder9543@social.fossware.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My bad. I meant Slide. It's what I used before moving to Infinity.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I also begrudgingly migrated to Infinity after finally coming to terms with the fact that no one was going to pick up development on Slide for Reddit. I was genuinely surprised to see that someone is working on a Slide for Lemmy.

Liftoff is great! I am loving it myself
