Thunder for Lemmy

Hamlet Jiang Su

About this app

Thunder is a fully open source, cross-platform, community-driven project available on GitHub. Fully free of advertisements and trackers.

Here's a peek at what Thunder offers:
- Multi-account support: Login to all your accounts, and switch between them at ease
- Fully customizable settings: Choose your own splash of accent, customize your own gestures, and much more
- Swipe gestures: Navigate and interact with your favourite communities, posts, and comments all through customizable swipe gestures.

Thunder is still very early on in development and many more features are yet to be available!

Ratings and reviews

I can't find anywhere in the app to leave feedback, so here we go. not particularly customizable, when compared to Boost. you can move the title to the top but nothing else? so you have to read the title and the entire post before you can see what community or instance or user it's coming from. okay, so the developers have a preference for how they use it, but it needs to be able to be changed for the rest of us.

Great overall experience... Except if you want to search for content. So the interface is really nice with customizable swipe actions and no ads (thank you so much devs for this app). My only gripe is that currently you can only search for communities, not words in any post on Lemmy. That might be a Github issue though and probably will come but until then I can only give 4 stars for some missing functionality.

The app is alright, there's nothing too wrong with it. I may be misunderstanding how Lemmy works, but I can't reliably connect to other communities - you find a link to one online but I can't seem to reliably open it in this app (I assume due to infinite urls you'd have to cover) but using the search feature with the link provided (the exclamation point one) doesn't seem to work. Finding and joining a community seems pretty tedious. But overall it's not that bad, it's the best so far.
