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...

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.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Medalist@lemmy.fmhy.ml 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.

[–] SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT@feddit.de 7 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.

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 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'm so used to web clients I can't get myself to use third-party apps anymore.

[–] richneptune@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For me there's one massive flaw with the mobile web version of Lemmy - that when you go "back" after viewing a post the page scrolls near to the top of the page. If it weren't for that I'd happily give up the quest for an app.

I just found out about wefwef.app

[–] wutBEE@lemmy.world 10 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)

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?

[–] Ivan171@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Using the PWA until Sync for Lemmy is released.

[–] uthredii@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

You should try out wefwef.app

It is an Apollo like web app for Lemmy.

[–] zexu@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

wefwef & thunder here 🫡

[–] neavts@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

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

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.

[–] leifrstein@vlemmy.net 10 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

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

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.

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

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

[–] mustbe3to20signs@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Distributed@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've been using jerboa (android), thunder (android), wefwef (pwa), and memmy (iPad).

Love them all, but they all have their quirks!
