Web app, specifically, or any apps?

I’m also familiar with these three (web) apps:

  • Alexandrite: alexandrite.app
  • Mlmym (Old Reddit Lookalike): Not sure if there’s an “open” instance of it, but several instances offer it. See old.lemmy.world for an example (not sure if SJW offers Mlmym or not).
  • Voyager: vger.app

Might also also check out lemmyapps.com which has a good list that you can filter by platform/feature.

Why no one is using boost, is it so bad?

Hasn’t been updated in a while, and it has a few bugs.

I use Alexandrite on my desktop and Voyager on my phone. Perfect experience for me.

Don’t forget quiblr.com

which I think is the only one that has a true algorithm.

I’m using Thunder (app), first one I tried and it’s basically what I had with RedReader so I’ve never really tried anything else.

ahh, thanks so much!

Do you also have the issue with Thunder, that you can’t see votes on any posts/comments?

Not an answer to your question, but my experience of browsing lemmy has improved after hiding all scores.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world on 30 Jun 2025 20:49 next collapse

I do not :o works just fine for me

Do you have ‘Show Post/Comment scores’ enabled in your account setting. (Click ‘Account’ at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

That’s it. Now it works. Thanks so much!

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar
