An overview of the fediverse clients I’m paying the most attention to.

For the Threadiverse readers, I’d love to hear more about what I’ve missed for threadiverse clients. Ill admit that I’ve paid less attention to those, so tell me what I’ve missed!

For the Threadiverse, there are a variety of clients for Lemmy, with some of the most popular ones being Voyager, Thunder, Mlem, Jerboa and Photon. My sense is that the Threadiverse clients do not differ much in features, and mainly differ in platforms and terms of design. The main standout feature at this point seems to be support for PieFed, but a variety of clients (including Voyager, Mlem and multiple more now support PieFed). It points to an ecosystem where clients are aware of each other, and new innovations get rapidly copied by other clients, bringing them effectively to the entire ecosystem. If there are unique features in Threadiverse clients that you think I should pay attention to, let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear from you.

Nice article !

It looks like you’ve missed Aria for Misskey, which was updated as recently as yesterday

The Threadiverse app with the most standout feature is probably Quiblr and its recommendation system. I can’t speak to if it’s actually any good, as I don’t use it, but it’s interesting nontheless.

Also, I wish more apps has lemmy-ui ‘chat’ sort for comments. It’s surprisingly nice for seeing new comments in a thread you’ve read before.

The main thing I've been struggling to find in a threadiverse app is a browsing experience like Apollo for Reddit back in the day.

I could see 1 post at a time, with the content fitted to fill the screen. If I scrolled down, it would load comments. I could swipe to move on to the next item. I found this flow to be very comfortable.

All the threadiverse apps seem to center on the big list where I scroll down forever. I can tap into a post, but can't just swipe to the next one from there.
