What's your lemmy app of choice? - Feddit UK

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

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.

wefwef.app

Works really smooth.

I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.
I am using liftoff and wefwef

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!

Coming from RIF, I've found Connect to be the most similar of all the ones I've tried so far (not out of the box, but it has some great customization options in the settings). I'm also so impressed by how fast new features are getting added.
Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment
What is the conflict with Jerboa and .world instance? I haven't had any problems on Jerboa.
You can't login until .world updates to 1.8 if i understand it right, so it's only temporary inconvenience
I had not logged out so I didn't notice. I just tried logging out and now the app won't load. Odd. Good thing I can just use kbin.
Jerboa was updated to only work with servers on Lemmy version 0.18, a day before the update was available to admins to install. IDK why it isn't updated still, unless they're doing testing.
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.
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
The web shortcut has been working excellent for me as well (firefox here). Be using that for time being. Monitoring Artemis for kbin though. Alpha looking VERY polished.

Yeah this is my "app" after someone posted about it. It works crazy good for Lemmy. Like luckily the website is mobile friendly so it looks pretty much exactly like a mobile app would complete with a lemmy icon.

Until the other apps start offering very compelling features I'll keep using it. It'll basically have any new features Lemmy adds by default the second my instance updates lol.

Liftoff is pretty good but I'm waiting for Sync
Liftoff is really shapeing up nicely!
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.
Sync for Lemmy but it's a bit basic right now
I was a little bit confused until I saw your name
Wait... Is this posted from Sync for lemmy? 😍😍😍 I can't wait!
Flexing on people

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.

wow what a flex 😂

I'm using wefwef which looks a 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.
FYI: upvote/downvote is a right slide and release of the post.

Is it made recently? It often throws errors how it can't load content.
it was made recently but I haven't had any errors as of now.
Maybe I'll have to install it from a different browser
I’m using it on Mull which is a fork of Firefox with uBlock Origin activated and so far no issues. so it should probably work even better on a chromium based browser. I might try later just to see the stability.
It got updated and I thought that was that, but it L after some time of browsing it just refuses to work sometimes.

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.

Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.

Connect for Lemmy on AndroMs.

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 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.

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
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa jas the fullest features as far as everything. Everything else has been missing 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. 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.
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.
So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I might be just a tiny bit biased but it's Summit for Lemmy
Summit for Lemmy - Apps on Google Play

A fast and easy to use app for Lemmy

Big fan of this one, try it out people!
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
Yeah, I've been trying different apps but so far nothing has been close enough
Liftoff seems decent
