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

Connect for Lemmy.
It's being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It's come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It's crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn't handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.
Right?? if the dev keeps going as strong as it's been so far I can see Connect being a competent option even after Sync Launches.
Connect here too. Jerboa kept crashing on me. When it did load it couldn't connect. When it could connect it wouldn't load in icons and left some posts blank.
Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.
I'm testing connect right now and so far it works very well. Unfortunately Jerboa crashed for me all the time since the last update. I'm still hoping for a bacon reader version for Lemmy.
I'm using liftoff until sync is released
So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
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.
Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
Liftoff seems decent
Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!
Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it's just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I'm viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.
Apparently my desired feature is already present. From the Home tab the Subscribed/Local/All button expands to let you pick which logged in account to show.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
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.
I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync
Connect for Lemmy is pretty Sync like. Give it a try!

i was using jerboa until i saw this comment and i must say after using connect for a few minutes its much better! and i can actually log in!
Thunder is pretty amazing right now.
Agreed, the update from yesterday really made it daily driver material!
I just wish these clients would take some cues from the way Relay does its "List" view. Thunder's list view is getting there, but it's still way too crowded. Connect's is worse, it's just evenly spaced details for each post, which then blends into the space between each post.
Liftoff is really shaping up nicely!
wefwef is surprisingly good
wefwef.app until Sync for Lemmy is out
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 is SOLID. Nothing will ever be Apollo but this definitely a easy transition from it.
I guess so I never used Apollo I used to use infinity for reddit but I'm definitely liking it so far except up voting or downvoting is two taps away instead of one.
edit: it's one tap away I'm still learning how to use it sorry.
I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
I'm using 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.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.
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!
Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
browser. i'll revisit that decision in a few months.
Same. I've installed a few apps to keep an eye on their development, but web is still my favourite for now. Some of the apps have gestures and easily collapsible threads, but UIs aren't completely polished yet.
Try wefwef it's a web app with gesture support. Seems to be one of the more featured GUIs so far.
Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!
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).
I was using Jerboa. But after a lot of bugs in last few versions I currently trying other apps.
Currently alternating between Connect and Wefwef
Jerboa won't even load for me. It just crashes and force quits.
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 ^^
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
I am using liftoff and wefwef
Thunder
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
Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.
I'm using Liftoff.
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.
Memmy on iOS is my favourite.
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.
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.
Wefwef is good, but Sync is better imo
what? sync for lemmy hasn't been released yet.
They're clearly just from the future.
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.
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.
Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!
Same here, loved Boost
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.
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"...
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.
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.
started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.
Connect is improving crazy-fast.
Blocking users has already been added. I'm sure comment editing will show up any day now. Scratch that, just edited this comment in Connect...
kbin PWA
Sync for Lemmy but it's a bit basic right now
Flexing on people
wow what a flex 😂
Wait... Is this posted from Sync for lemmy? 😍😍😍 I can't wait!
That was mean... And awesome!
Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?
Wink, wink!
Cheers brother! Nice to see you around here.
Nice flex.
I was a little bit confused until I saw your name
