After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

  1. wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

  2. Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

  3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

Mlem and WefWef are my favorites so far. I wish WefWef was a 'real' app but it's pretty impressive what they have done in a Web App.

I'd definitely like to get ahold of their iOS stylesheet or whatever tech they are using to make that look so iOS, but the layout of the app is terrible.

The layout (and design) is a clone of the extremely popular Reddit client, Apollo.

Most people loved Apollo. Some didn’t.

Apollo users would feel right at home with wefwef.

I love iOS's look (when it's on an intended device, not on my giant ass monitor, like here :D ) but man is it's organization a mess. Everything Apple produces is seriously unintuitive. If you give me an iPad, i'm going to be lost searching for basic functionality. If you give me a Mac, I can't even operate the damn thing.

It's not a stylesheet but Ionic framework gives you iOS looking components as HTML elements

I'm glad it's not a "real" app
