A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This is why I have 4 different apps to surf Lemmy. When one app is acting up I just switch to another. For example I was just barely scrolling in Jerboa but getting a bunch of network errors so I switched to Connect which is where I'm posting this comment. I'm totally down with being patient with Lemmy for the time being. Anything to get away from R*****
Have you tried Liftoff? I think it's the best one so far for Android.
I keep switching between Liftoff and Connect because they both have some issues that are resolved in the other.
Connect seems to work better with showing all federated content than Liftoff, but Liftoff allows multiple instances to be logged in at once. Connect has notifications, and Liftoff does not. Liftoff has more user-centered features like actual profile pages that show a background image, bio, and avatar; connect does not.
Neither one have any tools for moderation, though. I am now a mod for Humor (BTW, come post! Let's make it better than /r/funny ever was!) and I've only been able to do actual mod things on the website itself, which is tedious to do on mobile.
Unfortunately they marked that as 18+ in Google Play store so the download button is disabled, at least in my 'normal' UK Google account.
I haven't. I'll have to check it out while I wait for Sync
I still can’t figure out why I can upvote posts in Memmy but not in Liftoff. I’m Liftoff it keeps responding that I need to be logged into the server but Memmy just lets me upvote. It’s definitely something I am doing wrong but showcases the immense value of app choice.
Probably due to the version of Lemmy on the server. I think it's because Memmy works with 0.17 but Liftoff doesn't (fully).
The Lemmy devs made some fundamental changes in how just about everything works in 0.18. Since a lot of apps started development right around 0.18 came out they might not support "the new way" just yet.
It's another one of those things where you just have to "give it time". The Lemmy server operators need to upgrade (many were holding off because of missing CAPTCHA support in 0.18) and the app developers still have a lot of kinks to work out. Liftoff has only been out for what? A week now? LOL
I made a post on the Liftoff community precisely because it renders it unusable if I cannot interact with (almost) anything that's shown to me
Odd, I haven't had this issue at all. Upvoting works just fine for me in Liftoff.
I'm personally waiting for Slide for Lemmy to be released
I am also waiting, but for Boost for Lemmy.
In the meantime wefwef works well.
Wefwef is too Apple-esque for my tastes.

Have you checked that you're browsing from your instance? Liftoff has different feeds for different instances and if you go to a post through an instance you don't have an account on, you won't be able to vote.
Just go to the homepage and select the feed from the drop-down at the top on an instance you have an account in. I used to face the same problem until I realised what's going wrong.

I'm doing the same thing. I have no allegiance like I did with RiF. If one isn't working, I'll just move. Give them some time to work out the kinks.
Its gonna take some time for the apps to become more polished, the network just got a good boost in users and if the project is able to maintain those users I'm decently sure the platform will also be maturing at an accelerated rate.
Hey, some of us like kinks.
Go on?
😳
Kinks mean the process is working.
No kink shaming!!
Literally here posting from Connect because of constant issues with Jerboa lately.
I have four apps installed just for this. Reminds me of when I first played around with a bunch of Reddit apps before I honed in on my favorite.
Try wefwef.app (go to this website and install it as an app/add it to your homescreen), it's simply amazing.
As for network errors, try switching to an instance close to your house with a low ping, it'll make a big difference. Go to https://fediverse.observer/map and select Lemmy instances.
