    The devs are the biggest problem with lemmy. Sure, there’s hexbear and whatever else, but the devs need to be better than most. A sane person sees that kind of post, and they leave before they even give it a chance.

      Sadly this is very true. And I literally said as much to nutomic directly last week. In the thread on world soliciting donations. Not even a reply. Not serious developers. Just kids with a few coding skills. Who are going to do what they want to do, because they want to. And if you have a problem with that then that’s your problem. Not theirs.

        As of this writing, I don’t think that any of the viable Threadiverse Lemmy alternatives (mbin, piefed) support native mobile clients via the API.

        investigates

        Hmm. Apparently that’s not correct. Interstellar can handle both mbin and piefed. It’s not in F-Droid, though.

          Interstellar shows up in fdroid when I search for it. So I’m not 100% I may have added another repository.

          I say fdroid. I was mistaken. I’m currently using droidify with the Izzy on android repository enabled.

            Yeah, I needed to do that to get it installed, trying it out right now.

            It feels more-responsive then Eternity, and the dev appears to be more active, but I did notice that it doesn’t appear to yet support monospaced blockquotes — just colorizes them differently at the moment. Probably some other stuff. Definitely usable, though.

            EDIT: Note that I’ve only used it on a lemmy instance, not mbin or piefed, so I can’t speak as to the support there.

              Currently I’m using Voyager. No one client has everything I want yet but it’s pretty close Interstellar looks wise would be a close second. It works pretty Snappy but it doesn’t have user tagging and a few other things that I like.
