I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

I'm not using lemmy but kbin. I'm just using the app shortcut that you can create in Chrome on Android. It works well enough for now

Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.

Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.

I'm on kbin, so i guess i get no app until artemis is out :(

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

Still on my phone browser. So far not seeing any downside to it compared to PC browsing, so I think this will be fine.

Wefwef is good, but Sync is better imo

I'm using Lemmy as an android pwa. Works well. I liked Jerboa but it was too buggy.

Personally, I use Jerboa on mobile. It's got its own problems and compatibility issues, but they're also not so significant that it makes me want to go use another app, and with lemmy.world still being on an older version that probably isn't compatible with most apps that work for 0.18 and above, the risk of breaking everything makes it not that worthwhile.

Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.

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

New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can't seem to login with jerboa because "my server version is too low"...

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

Flipping between thunder and liftoff, thunder is my preferred app but it is very slow loading feeds and scrolling compared to liftoff, once this is fixed back I go.

Tried some others like connect for Lemmy but the whole UI feels 'off' can't put an exact word to it just a feeling!

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

Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!

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

Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don't always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can't say it's pretty.

So far, I really like Thunder's looks, interface and UX. It's not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it's also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they're not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I've been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.

Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don't like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.

I'm using Summit but it's lacking a lot of features. Jerboa had a ton of problems and was barely usable for me.

jerboa most of the time : it's quite light (3,2Mo), it's on fdroid, it's pretty useable. But it's crashing a lot thèse days

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

Wefwef until it exploted on lemmy.world, Jerboa is dead with lemmy.world as well...

Man, lemmy.world really needs to fix their instance to make it at time when "the big migration" happens.

For now I'm using Liftoff and Connect, with honorable mentions to Lemming and Thunder.

Actually I use all of them lol.

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

Currently using a mix of Jerboa, Liftoff and web. Still waiting for the one app that can do it all.

Commenting from "Connect for Lemmy". I started using Jerboa, bit it's broken just now, it'll hopefully be back in an update soon.

Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the conflict with Jerboa and .world instance? I haven't had any problems on Jerboa.

After a quick search, I've decided to settle on Connect. The UI looks really familiar to Infinity, which is a giant plus for me.

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

on connect after the jerboa problems, taking a look at wefwef too, but it loads in my browser... haven't dug into the UI much, but it seems decent.
