A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

really hoping for infinity 👀

I'm hoping for either Sync or Boost!

I've been using Jerboa for twenty minutes and I miss Sync so much.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Lmao same, no knock to the Jerboa devs as I do believe the app is pretty young, but it's pretty awful right now. I want my Sync back!

[–] FleetingTit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any of the big ones would be nice in the long term, but the sync dev already hinted at looking into the possibility. And sync ~~is~~ was amazing

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oooh nice! Do you have a link wrt Sync?

[–] FleetingTit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately no. It only was a passing mention in a Reddit comment recently. There hasn’t been any sort of announcement, afaik.

Yeah, infinity is (or at least, was) my reddit. Jerboa just doesn't cut it for me (no offense to jerboa).

Jerboa seems pretty good as an app in is infancy thrown together quickly to address the sudden need. It does lack the maturity and stone features Reddit 3rd party apps had (I was partial to Boost and Relay myself) but it's pretty usable and given time I think it'll get even better. Also add Lemmy and Kbin reach critical mass we may see more apps soon.

Indeed, considering how young it is, it's a good start.

Definitely needs a way to look at inbox comments in the context of the thread, right now I need to go to the thread and scroll to find my comment and its reply.

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

I think that exists already, click the little link looking icon to the right of downvote when looking at the reply in inbox and it permalink to the reply.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see any upvote or downvote arrows in my inbox

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

have you tried updating the app - its getting updated at a pretty quick pace.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ye, got an update this morning.

I do see what you're talking about on the website tho.

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

Long press in blank space beside message and buttons will show up.. seems a bit finicky but works

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah, thank you! You really have to know haha
