My top three are Wefwef, Thunder and Jerboa.

Lemming in 4th place when it catches up!

And well I guess things will change when Boost and Sync for Lemmy arrive.

I started by using Jerboa but switched to Thunder and am loving it.

Jerboa was great too but it had some weird issues (like default homepage wouldn't apply, no matter what I selected as the default in settings it would default to local).

I wish thunder let me have vote/reply buttons instead of swipe gestures but it's not too bad.

Well, Thunder keeps improving day by day, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

I also like Thunder more than Jerboa, but until this day Jerboa keeps to be more usable, maybe Liftoff and Jerboa are the most useful right now, aside the stock PWA.

Thunder keeps improving day by day, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

This fact makes it hard to pick a favorite at this point. Thunder used to be my favorite out of the bunch, but I have been enjoying Liftoff the most the past few days. I agree, we should keep checking out each app periodically before settling on anything.

Yep I have the same exactly. Also I use the actual website too as it's the best one for foldables that I can see

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't have a foldable phone, but I can see it being the superior experience for them, and let's be honest, is less likely to fail with this early app phase πŸ˜
