do any off the Lemmy or kbin apps provide a way to browse instances other than your own? kind of like filtering for “local” posts but local to another federated instance.
I’ve subscribed to communities from other instances once I find ones I like. but the only way I can “find” them it’s if I see an interesting post when I filter for “all” posts - what some other site might refer to as a post making it to the front page
I guess I could hunt from a web browser to do that, but I’d rather not have to switch between apps to do that
If your using iOS Memmy does this
sadly, I’m in Android. good to know that functionally is out there though. maybe other apps can do it too
When I was using android love it btw. Boost was a old Reddit client they are active porting it to work with Lemmy would check that out.
just saw that about boost today - very excited to see that app! I was a Relay for Reddit person but that’s not to say it was the best, just they one I was used to using
Which app(s) are you using? I don’t have an answer to your question, but I’m interested in hearing which apps are good on Android. I alternate between several apps (Voyager, Liftoff, Connect, Thunder) because I frequently get freezing, and I’m not sure if it’s something with my phone and tablet, something with the apps, or something with the Lemmy servers I’m accessing.
so, I’ve got a bunch I’m cycling through including thunder, connect, jeroba, lemmontif and liftoff.
for no great reason I could explain, I find myself using thunder most often. but, with the apps and the platform getting updates so frequently, I don’t see myself selling down to one app and time soon
