      In like 2023 and a little last year, I tried out literally a dozen of them. Most of them were in earlier stages of development and were VERY space wasteful whilst also showing very little data AND having no customizations to fix that stuff. I’m currently using Sync, and as long as I customize the shit out of it, it’s bearable.

      I tried: jerboa, kbin, connect, voyager, lemmotif, thunder, liftoff, summit, sync, a different voyager, tundra, and artemis.

      I eventually got burnt out on trying and trying to customize each app, and settled on sync I guess.

        Sync hasn’t been updated for a long time, and will stop working with Lemmy 1.0, I would recommend to have a look at the 3 above when you have some time.

          Son of a bitch. Gfdi seriously. Ugh. Well that sucks. Hopefully the dev either open source’s the app or comes back when it breaks, because I’m getting really sick of searching for new apps and platforms right now to turn to for momentary and intermittent dopamine hits, socializing, memes, and conversations.

          I just updated my summit app and I’ll have to look at how it handles now and I’ll need to import my multiple fediverse accounts and see if I can customize it to be functional for me, because it and every other app had ui problems like crazy. I tend to be a minimalist that hates huge previews, wasted space, waiting, and gestures. If it’s foss, maybe I’ll learn the platform and develop for it, because I’m seriously sick of half baked and funky designs and unintuitive ui/ux.
