rif gang
Reddit made it unusable on mobile again.
I use Firefox + unlock, but naturally itβs just slower and less convenient than rif.
I use reddit a lot less now. Practically donβt use it on mobile as I noticed.
I use reddit for special interests. There are some subreddits which are unmatched sources in terms of expertise. Be it a game I am currently obsessed by or serious job related discussions about the newest embedded techβ¦
Relay for Reddit will always be my favorite. It had a nice tablet mode and the βswipe to do everythingβ interface was nice.
I have yet to find a decent replacement for it. Voyager is alright but I swear that it was designed to maximize unintentional button presses. Itβs so easy to accidentally go to the community or the userβs profile when I just wanted to click on the post. And I canβt even count the number of times I accidentally collapsed a comment when I was trying to edit or upvote it instead. This is why the swiping interface was so nice. Made it almost impossible to unintentionally do the wrong action.
I miss Relay so much, but unfortunately the developer decided to play by Redditβs rules and start charging people to use the app. So itβs never coming to Lemmy.
Have you tried Thunder? Iβve been using it since I finally got around to moving over here (admittedly not very long) and Iβve found that Thunder gets a lot right. Itβs open source, ad-free, cross-platform, and nice to use. It doesnβt have quite as much polish as Relay but the design language is similar enough that it doesnβt feel like a huge departure.
I tried it a year ago; felt very much like an unfinished project. Too many missing features. Has it improved a lot since then?
Oh God yes, I feel you on the Miss-clicks
Oh letβs look at the comments, downvote, ohh shit I need to, collapse, fuuuuck, uncollapse, inadvertently scrolls up now that it expanded, Hunt down the exact right one, swipe to upvote, miss, back to zero, sigh, carefully swipe over to upvote, tap for comments, end up in userβs profileβ¦ Itβs not really an app that you can surf until youβve had your coffee.
I still have it on my phone n open itβs corpse all the time out of habit when looking for sync. I should uninstall it.
