The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

For those looking and trying new apps, Ive had the most success with Liftoff on Android. I've had the least bugs with this app and otherwise has been a smooth experience. Just know to expect bugs at this time on pretty much everything as they all are pretty early in their builds.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been testing out several apps simultaneously to find my favorite one, liftoff is the only one I'm logged in to. It's pretty good, but I've noticed that liftoff seems to get more 502 errors than others like Summit and Connect when loading comments, posts, and refreshing. Other than that, it's a pretty great app and very comfortable coming from RiF

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

502 is a server issue. Any difference you might have noticed is purely by chance. Or the other apps conceal server errors better.
In general clients can't do much about 5XX errors.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yea, if I had to guess liftoff is displaying the error every time and the other apps are silently failing and retrying the connection. Unfortunately all other apps I've been trying except jerboa are closed source so I can't confirm that. I have the most trust in the FOSS options, but that also requires more patience in QoL features

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like, of the handful available to try, Liftoff is the most feature complete - comparable to Jerboa. Everything else always seems to be missing some key functionality (as of writing this). I do keep getting 502 errors periodically, but I know that's Lemmy and not the app itself. Highly recommending Liftoff at the moment.

That said, Sync was my bread and butter on Reddit, so I'm hoping it can be my go to on Lemmy as well. Crossing my fingers. But Liftoff will suffice otherwise, for sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm in the same boat. Liftoff is working well at the moment but I'm waiting for Slide to get better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They're working off the abandoned Lemmur project so they kind of had a head start. Not to undermine the great work they've been doing though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Liftoff has been the most problematic for me. I saw a meme yesterday about how slow it was. I'll have to try it again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's still in beta. If it's slow check the app store to see if it needs to be updated

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's up to date, but I can't add my other instances. That's a deal breaker for now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm using 3 accounts on 3 seperate instances. Everything seems to work fine?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Un- and re- installed the app. Multiple accounts/instances now working! 👍 😎

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Bugs do be that way. "Works on my machine" is the programming mantra

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm using Liftoff, I like it a little better than Connect which I tried for a day or 2. As far as I can tell, most issues I've experienced are related to lemmy.world and not the app.

Once Sync is released I'll reevaluate but I'm good for now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same, although my attempts at the other ones were pretty brief. I like liftoff a lot because it has the swipe anywhere to go back gesture, which I love.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can it show link urls before opening them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

same. tried a bunch, liftoff has been by far the most reliable, and the best layout.
