In case someone from Android wanders in looking for suggestions, I would highly recommend liftoff. I've been using it for a couple of days and it's really fluid and responsive.
I have also been using it the past week or so. Works pretty well and UI is good and intuitive.
Exactly. ~~Considering the app in only a few weeks old at most, I'm surprised at how polished it is.~~ It can only get better from here.
It's a fork of lemmur, which has been around for quite a long time but whose development was stopped earlier this year because its developers didn't want to be associated with tankies.
Ah okay. I assumed it was quite new because it was in beta. My bad.
What's a tankie?
Yeah the fork is really new so I get why it seems that way. A tankie is a person who is a left wing authoritarian, to the point that they support Russia (I guess because of udssr history?) and china. Lemmy's main developers fall under that spectrum and one of the largest lemmy instances before the whole reddit api thing went down was lemmygrad.ml, where you get banned if you dare criticise the CCP. Thankfully most instances are deferedated from it.
