I'm just here to read what everyone else is using. I only know of jerboa

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I've tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.

I'm trying connect now. Jerboa keeps crashing like madness on me...

Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff... I'm reading the replies to you to see what to try next!

Im trying several others while they work out the kinks in Jerboa (it doesnt work very welll if you use Lemmy.World as your instance), but it honestly feels the best out of all of them.

I'm coming from RiF is Fun, so it reminds me a lot of their layout.

Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:

A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!

I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I'm happy with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Thx you stranger, this is the boost-like app I was looking for !

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Typing with connect, you can tell it's beta quality but it's pretty good so far

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn't crash randomly.

I use jerboa but I'd try out any libre client. I'm not interested in proprietary apps.

Funny enough I never saw the need for dedicated website apps for e.g. reddit, but the fediverse is somewhat clumsy to use in a browser (I'm aware that browser extensions can help) so an app actually improves the experience a bit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'm using Jerboa, but it keeps crashing and on every statup complains that my instance is not compatible with the updated version. This drives me back to reddit and when it shuts off apps, I'll probably go back to real life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

In the latest version of Jerboa I can't change from All / Active anymore. 😊 Also I can't figure out for the life of me how to make a top level comment, they're doesn't seem to be a button for it.

Thunder didn't have sorting by top last time I checked. Liftoff can't add other instances than the 3 it comes with.

I just found out about wefwef.app

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same here, completely switched, it’s obviously made by the Apollo dev and no one can convince me otherwise. Wefwef has immediately made Lemmy usable to me, can barely notice a difference from Reddit running through Apollo.

Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently.

Edit: does anyone know if any android app allows hiding posts? (locally on the device, i think the servers don't support)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Why do I keep instinctively switching between clients when Lemmy is down thinking one will get past the 500 error better than the other one?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

wefwef & thunder here 🫡

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.

Using the PWA until Sync for Lemmy is released.

I'm using Connect for Lemmy right now, been using Jebora and also Liftoff. Sticking with Connect for now, I'm liking the swipe actions

[–] Poiar 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Same, but I >need< the Sync for Reddit feature of swiping left-to-right to get out of posts

Can't wait for Sync for lemmy to drop

I'm using liftoff (Android), best one I've found so far.

I've used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.

Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it's working as of this post)

The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don't like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.

Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.

Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it's tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.

Just Jerboa normally.. but it's so buggy that I discovered Connect. It's amazing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used mlem for a bit but memmy is my go to right now

I've settled on thunder for now. Flawless since the latest update

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I prefer Liftoff at the moment for the UI similarities with Infinity for Reddit.

They each have their own bugs and quirks so I hop around, currently on connect and it's been stable enough today. Tomorrow, who knows, maybe back to liftoff or jerboa.

Which app is most like RIF? I'm using Jebora currently.

Didn't realize there were so many options that's great! Using Jerboa on Android now and it's been my only experience with the platform so far so I'm definitely open to recommendations

I've literally created a separate folder for Lemmy apps on my phone. I have 4 so far and I'll continue to get more until I find the one. Jerboa, liftoff, connect for Lemmy and thunder. Jerboa still doesn't let me log in with that stupid server error. Liftoff is weird. Thunder is ok, but has some quirks, like you can't exit the app with the back button (I'm on Android). Connect is the best so far, but I feel like it doesn't sync well. None of them sends notifications. Situation isn't the greatest so far, but we are getting there

Oh My God There are apps? I’m sitting here using my browser

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Sounds about right!

I keep alternating between Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and the Lemmy ‘add to homescreen’ ‘app’

I‘m using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.

The only one I use is mlem

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I use the one that I made! It was made rather early on before most of these apps became popular, but if it's my own app, I can make it however I want...
