    Jerboa because it’s the closest I have found to RIF other than Liftoff, which no longer works since most instances have updated to 0.19 and above.

    The dude working in it had a kid (made an announcement for it) and then hasn’t seemed to work on it since. Which is understandable, I guess. Kids ruin everything. 😩

    Arctic and Mlem for iOS.

    Arctic is my primary, it was the first that I know of to include admin tools, the single developer is super accessible and on top of for resolving bugs and does a good job at supporting markdown both in the editor and the viewer.

    Mlem is my backup if I need to access 2 different spots on the Lemmy-verse. It has a great viewer and interface but is missing a markdown editor.

    Alexandrite is the best web front-end for me because of the 2-column view.

    Right now I’m mostly using mlmym (the “old” interface on most instances that support it) because it doesn’t require JS for basic viewing.

    It’s kind of buggy though, unfortunately – things like user history show up as a complete jumble, for example. :(

    One of these days, I’ll probably get fed up enough to go write my own interface and set things up exactly how I want them to work… but I’ve got too many projects already so I’m just living with it for now.

      Do you have any examples of the user history being jumbled up? Might be caused by the way the lemmy api returns user activity. If the page size is 10 results, it’s going to return 5 comments and 5 posts regardless of how recent they are.

        You can open any profile with multiple pages worth of posts or comments on old.reddthat.com and it’s jumbled. Even my own profile is jumbled: https://old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk

        The first page is mostly comments I made two weeks ago plus a thread from today and some very old threads. The second page has comments I made earlier today and during the past week. The third page starts with my most recent comment and then has a bunch of older comments.

        The exact order might change after posting this, but my own recent comments mostly being on page two has been pretty consistent for a while.

        If I look at a very active user’s profile (like MentalEdge’s), I see threads from today show up on page three(!) while there are threads from a week or more ago on pages one and two.

        I’m not sure what’s going on exactly, but it basically makes user profiles pretty useless right now through mlmym.

        Edit: I can’t even find this comment in my profile, but my other reply (regarding the envelope being fixed in 0.0.43) shows up on page 3.

            Thanks! I’ll go ask Tiff about getting reddthat updated later.

            BTW, is there a community for discussion of mlmym itself somewhere on lemmy? I can’t participate on GitHub, but those aren’t the only issues I’ve found. (e.g. there’s also ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 on non-pictrs links and a text handling issue with angle brackets…)

              no lemmy community for mlmym yet, that’s good idea.

              do you have an example of that thumbnail issue?

                I ran into an example of the thumbnail issue again today – this time on a post from kbin: https://old.reddthat.com/post/19193476

                The thumbnail looks like this in the HTML:

                <div class="thumb">
  <a class="url"
     href="https://media.kbin.social/media/60/a4/60a45b8ff88b1b2e3a0f77b701feb323c5bbfb7ceeb75154ea7df5d6eea15ef8.jpg"
     >
    <div  style="background-image: url(https://media.kbin.social/media/60/a4/60a45b8ff88b1b2e3a0f77b701feb323c5bbfb7ceeb75154ea7df5d6eea15ef8.jpg?format=jpg&amp;thumbnail=96)"></div>
  </a>
</div>

                Note that it’s making a request to kbin.social with ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 parameters in the CSS – which results in the full image being loaded since kbin doesn’t run pictrs.

                The versions in use on reddthat (according to the settings page) are:

                lemmy: 0.19.4-beta.7

                mlmym: 0.0.44

      Yeah I wanted to love mlmym but it’s just too buggy and laggy for me. Hopefully lemmy-ui-next will prove to be a good replacement. If anyone’s curious, that UI can previewed at: next.lemm.ee

        I haven’t had much issue with lag, generally, but I don’t get notifications any more – which is probably the most pressing issue. (I have to remember to manually check once in a while after I post since the envelope doesn’t light up.) That might be an issue with reddthat being on a recent beta version of lemmy – I don’t know.

        We do have lemmy-ui-next over here too. Thanks for reminding me about that. I’ve been meaning to poke at it a bit.

    I use Alexandrite on desktop but I’m excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by the one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.

    For mobile I’m using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I’ve tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it’s incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it’s missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).

    Hey OP, I love you! I never used a Lemmy WebApp because I see no sense in it, but I tried Photon because of some comments in your post and holy fuck I have missed so much! It’s incredible that I can even have two accounts at the same time from different instances without changing the URL!

        Hey, I FUCKING love Photon and as soon as I can I’m going to donate to the project, but I have three questions: Is there any kind of official community for the project? And, is there a way to search communities and only communities? I mean, I can search for posts and then search for communities where that post may be, but can I search for communities directly, and lastly, how can I join a community within Photon?

          • Hey, thanks! The official community for Photon is !photon@lemdro.id (lemdro.id has helped a lot with the project and feedback, so I decided they should be it’s home.)
          • To search communities and only communities, you can either press the globe icon in the navbar (which is better for searching just communities), or you can use the search button and filter by communities.
          • To join a community in Photon, you can click subscribe in the explore page (globe icon) or you can go to the community, click the three dots at the top right, and click subscribe. (On a wide enough screen, the subscribe button along with community info will be on the right.)

    I don’t use it much on the desktop but when I do just the normal web interface. On Android I use Boost, because that’s what I used previous to Lemmy.

    Photon on desktop (although it’s excellent on mobile too), however I use Boost on Android, and Voyager on iOS. Native apps always feel a little more cohesive

      Wow! Thanks for the heads up. I’m also using Voyager, but Raccoon looks promising. 🦝
