Since my favorite reddit app came to Lemmy I'm really keen on getting more people into the fediverse to pump up the volume of content around here. Are there any initiatives that we can assist to get folks onboard?

I had my wife join, and she likes it, but laments the slow pace of new material in the communities.

Which reddit app came to Lemmy?

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm over here now thanks to Boost.

Ok. Never heard of it. I am an Apollo refugee.

I hope the developer of Relay makes a Lemmy app. I'm trying Boost and it's just OK. I might try a web based one (Photon or Alexandrite) next since I don't think a native app really adds any value over a PWA.

Sync for Lemmy is pretty good. Closest thing to Relay atm.

I've tried Jerboa, Sync, Boost, Connect, and Liftoff. They're all good, but IMO none of them are quite as good as Relay.

I use the default PWA for my instance and whenever I go back to my home page it acts like I am logged out until I reload the page. It gets old fast because it switches me from subscribed to local posts. I may finally cave and seek out a dedicated app in the hopes it works more smoothly.

Photon looks like it'll work better than the standard Lemmy web UI. I just need to get around to seeing if it works as a PWA, and installing it on my Lemmy server.
