If you prefer an open source app, native, complete, with a decent UI and an active developer community, the official one is definitely the best. And I mean Jerboa, because it is the official client made by the very same people that are making Lemmy (so always compatible and up-to-date with the server development).

Otherwise, if you don’t mind using a closed source app, Summit is the most feature rich one and it is maintained by a professional industry-level native Android developer who really knows what he’s doing.

Finally, if you want to experiment with a cross platform app, open source and well maintained, with a really nice user interface, have a try with Thunder.

I agree in that Summit is the most feature complete and polished Lemmy client for Android.

All Android developers rn:

Yes, true!

The customers of those two banks should express their gratitude to their governments!

There are also analogies with maintaining legacy code bases as software developers:

It’s still too early to tell anything, hope they come back too!

The Lemmy ecosystem is weird because there are so many Lemmy tools maintained by a single person yet at the same time the majority of Lemmy’s user base is tech-savy (we’re mostly nerds working in the IT field) and we should be inclined to collaboration rather than competition, considering the amount of criticism about western capitalism here.

The reason may be that many projects started out as experiments/for fun, or that we are unwelcoming to new contributors, who knows…

Personally, I would be in favor of having polls because I frequently involve people in taking decisions.

But my use case is quite peculiar because (1) I need to know people’s opinion to take actions based on it, they would not be just informative polls (2) this group of people use Lemmy as their main interaction medium, no other platform is involved.

I’ve resorted to strawpoll in the past or in having comments with multiple options and relying on the most upvoted comment but these solutions have downsides.

If I were a foreigner, I would boycott everything that comes from this cursed land.

Me too, and Lemmy inspired me to unsub! 😉

Lemmy is clearly not the right platform they should target 😂

Considering the ageing population and the abstention rate among younger generations, the far right is going to rule for a couple of decades.

There is another one with a person eating a cricket 🦗 against new food regulations but can’t find it rn.

Developing software and managing a community are totally different skills and mastering both is not to be taken for granted.

Plus, since you are very passionate about the open source projects you maintain or contribute to, it is difficult to “detach” yourself from people’s issues and not feel every criticism as a personal attack (and yes, when your software does not have the features/behavior they expect, some people can express their disappointment in quite a sharp way).

I prefer not to make anyone pay anything but “you get what it is, be warned that you may experience some bugs or lack of support for certain devices” (because I can’t buy every piece of hardware and test). Few people have accepted this model but, those who did, have always been supportive and respectful, making me rediscover a little hope that kindness isn’t dead at all.

As an Italian who knows a little Romanian, I think that this kind of “șmecherie” (the kind of “you think you can cheat but I’m smarter than you”) is one of the traits that unites the most our nationalities.

Italy too (or worse!)

Needless to say, in neither case the discussion originated from a technical issue, both times we were arguing online about politics.
