  • You can use your World account to post in communities on a different instance, but if you want to join that instance you need to make a separate account.

    It’s best you have one account on World, go to the top where it says communities, search under all, and subscribe to what appeals to you. You can still interact with the other instance with no issue.

    Instances are completely separate servers. The downside is if World goes down, then you can’t do much, but you can login to a Blahaj account and still use Lemmy like normal, except access World posts. So the idea is to create your own instance and customize your feed, if a major instance is down it doesn’t impact your ability to browse instances that are still up.








  • Thunder > Summit > Wefwef > Jerboa > connect

    There is minor differences that each has. The best feature that I look for is swipe to upvote, compact view, thumbnails on left, clean inbox and messaging. Unfortunately due to the lag, anytime I post or want to save a post I go into the browser as none of the apps successfully post.





  • There have been major updates on each app nearly everyday and the devs are great at intending requests. At first, you could only view posts with no option to post or login.

    I really like Jerboa, which has been down the past week after the latest update. It has a clean layout, can be fast, and is the best for posting but lacks in a few areas that the others have.

    Connect has been the snappiest, it loads thumbnails and has a more clearly defined “thumbnail click area” to a “title text /comments click area” then other apps.I love to swipe to upvote. But, I frequently get an error some posting, which leads to double posts.

    Summit had the best layout, list 2, which feels more comfortable an be the dev said he’ll add left handed mode, which would be nearly identical to rif. It has a history feature so I can go back to a post I viewed if I wanted to upvote it still. It didn’t always load the thumbnail, but I think that’s Lemmy world issue since there’s been a lot of lag this week.

    Edit: I still frequently use the browser version on my phone to see my notifications and respond to posts, as all the apps give me an error while posting due to the lag.
