I’m trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there’s a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I’m not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

These are the apps I’m using rn. So far i like thunder, connect and liftoff.
out of all those you are testing which one would you say has the closest UI to reddit is fun?
Can you link lemming? That’s the only one i can’t see to find
Those three are my picks as well.
Thunder has a really weird swipe mechanic to voting that doesn’t seem to work very reliability for me unfortunately currently.
What do you mean?
You swipe the comment to the right and a thing pops up. It’s unclear when it is downvoting or upvoting because what it then does doesn’t seem to match the one you selected.
Liftoff has been my favorite so far!
So I am using lift off but how do you upvote posts from other instances ? It says unable to upvote coz youre not signed into lemmy.ml. Is there a way to upvote post from other instances?
I am pretty sure that you can upvote most of the stuff on instances you don’t have an account for. However some instances require you to apply for an account rather than just singing up (eg Beehaw was like that for me). An admin has to manually click a button for you to become a member. In those cases you can not just upvote or comment on one of those instances without an account. I think it’s to prevent a flood of bots on some of the instances. Not entirely sure if I got it right, though!
Would be nice to upvote and comment on post from other instance.
