mustbe3to20signsFour apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?
I have been testing all of them, but the one impressed me the most is wefwef, a PWA.
I have jerboa, thunder, and connect installed. I like the compactness of jerboa the best but something about thunder keeps drawing me back to that one too. I havenβt given connect much of a chance yet.
randomguy2323I have settle with liftoff really great experience.
Liftoff for me
Marxism-FennekinismWhy do I keep instinctively switching between clients when Lemmy is down thinking one will get past the 500 error better than the other one?
diamond (she/they)I use the one that I made! It was made rather early on before most of these apps became popular, but if it's my own app, I can make it however I want...
Sounds interesting, any chance you want to share your work?
Yeah, it's at https://slemmy.libdb.so, the source code is also on my github!
Heads up, it doesn't currently work with Lemmy v0. 18.0. PR https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3301 tracks this. If you or anyone can contribute to this, please do!
Wefwef and jerboa for now
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.
Do you also get the thing where chunks of comments are just repeated over and over? Or like 4 posts loop for a while?
B20bobYup, I have a bunch of lemmy apps on my phone, but lately I have found myself using Liftoff the most, and Jerboa is probably second in my opinion.
I think when all things are stabilized jerboa will be my favorite. But I'm using Liftoff now as well.
LeifrsteinIβm using liftoff (Android), best one Iβve found so far.
I concur, It has the smoothest UX there is
I've got 8 installed π
lemonadebunnyWhich ones?? π
miz_elektroMlem, Memmy, wefwef, and the browser pwa. So far wefwef is my main go to, followed by Memmy.
zexu knubwefwef & thunder here π«‘
nvtsItβs absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering itβs a progressive web app.
DaisychanI've only used Jerboa, now I think I need to try Connect/Liftoff
Liftoff is great, just migrated from Jerboa
I installed liftoff, liking it at the moment!
Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently
Which app is most like RIF? Iβm using Jebora currently.
Summit is the closest from what I've seen. But it has some very basic things missing like an inbox. But it's my favorite feeling app.
On iOS I have Liftoff, Mlem, and Memmy. While they all work well, Memmy is easily my favorite. Itβs stable and fast, has several color themes already, and the developer literally updates it multiple times per day. It already feels like a complete app.
Iβm using Connect for Lemmy right now, been using Jebora and also Liftoff. Sticking with Connect for now, Iβm liking the swipe actions
ScrabboneIβm using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.
raunzZero so far. Who needs (third-party) apps, amirite?
Using Connect on Android and living it so far. Is there any way to change the default sort for the frontpage to "Hot" rather than "Active" though?
Settings > Default sort for Posts > Hot

I'll keep downloading new ones until i find one that feels like home. Still waiting for infinity to make a Lemmy app.
TemmieNo1Thunder looks like infinity a bit. Saw someone making an infinity for lemmy by the name of Beyond but not released yet. Connect for lemmy looks almost exactly like Infinity but I cant figure some stuff out on there so Thunder for now.
Can't wait to try beyond, thunder is super buggy on my phone with infinite loading for a lot of stuff.
None of them are very complete. The ones that are good are missing features and the ones that are complete aren't good. I'm using wefwef.app for the most part. Just navigate there in your browser and bammo! Instant app.
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it's slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you're into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could've gotten something out there a week ago, but I've got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn't even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It's easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels "right"
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you're on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It's still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it's moving fast
UX may be a taste thing but I cannot second the speed critic. On Firefox it's sluggish as hell, yeah, but using it with Chrome wefwef feels like a native app.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.
This is where I'm at, but Connect seems to freeze up on me a lot, so I'm thinking of getting a third lol
Duchessi switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can't see any way to vote on comments.
I use wefwef.app now, first comment in this app. Looks good. Jerbora Was crashing on me all the time...
CatotheCatI was using Jerboa first, but performance was terrible. I've now switched to Liftoff which seems way better.
Same, Thunder is mid with perfomane, how they can't make the scrolling smooth is really weird.
Liftoff is the first really decent one for me
donut4everI've literally created a separate folder for Lemmy apps on my phone. I have 4 so far and I'll continue to get more until I find the one. Jerboa, liftoff, connect for Lemmy and thunder. Jerboa still doesn't let me log in with that stupid server error. Liftoff is weird. Thunder is ok, but has some quirks, like you can't exit the app with the back button (I'm on Android). Connect is the best so far, but I feel like it doesn't sync well. None of them sends notifications. Situation isn't the greatest so far, but we are getting there
I'm using connect since it's the only one I have found that have notifications, I had to turn them on in the settings, it polls every 60 seconds.
