What's your lemmy app of choice?
I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
I'm using liftoff until sync is released
Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
- Jerboa is the most complete, but it's not very good... It's slow and the UI is very bland.
- Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It's still pretty buggy though.
- Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there's some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren't good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn't quite tic all the boxes, it's Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it's at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
Liftoff seems decent
Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I'm using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
wefwef is surprisingly good
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.
wefwef.app until Sync for Lemmy is out
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.
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.
At the moment I'm just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I'm using Jerboa
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
Jerboa, but can't wait for Sync to be released. If it's anything like the Reddit app, it'll be amazing (obviously after many iterations and testing etc).
Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!
Started with Jerboa, but it started crashing on me yesterday (plus, it apparently isn't working right now with lemmy.world). So I tried Liftoff yesterday, which I'm using to comment this. Definitely going to Sync again once it's done!
Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.
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
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"...
Thunder
Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
Memmy on iOS is my favourite.
Jerboa for now. The other ones I've tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.
I am using jerboa but really miss redreader, the creator floated making it support lemmy and I am excited for that possibility but am sticking with jerboa for now.
I want whatever is closest to Baconreader
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 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
I'm on kbin, so i guess i get no app until artemis is out :(
Thunder and jerboa
Kbin so currently just using hermit to make the web app until Artemis comes out
Still on my phone browser. So far not seeing any downside to it compared to PC browsing, so I think this will be fine.
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.
I am using liftoff and wefwef
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
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.
Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.
Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.
Connect for Lemmy
Pretty slick so far
Connect for Lemmy at the moment, as it has a very similar interface to sync, but I've signed up to be notified when Sync for Lemmy drops. Sync had everything I wanted for my Reddit app, and I'm hoping for a similar interface for Lemmy when it arrives.
Only used connect so far so can't comment on the others. Feels nice and smooth, looks great and has some nice features. Liftoff seems to be the go to here, might check it out.
I'm using Liftoff.
Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.
kbin PWA
