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

Sync for Lemmy but it's a bit basic right now

[-] XanXic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Flexing on people

[-] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Wait... Is this posted from Sync for lemmy? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ I can't wait!

[-] Devgard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

wow what a flex ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] Sponholz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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!

[-] fr33man@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year 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.

Connect for Lemmy on Android.

Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit

[-] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] gon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Fleder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.

[-] hailsatan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm using liftoff until sync is released

[-] Uncouth@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.

Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Liftoff is still 'early access' and yet... so polished. It immediately became my go-to.

I can't believe that just a couple of weeks ago, we had a single (Android) solution. Suddenly, it's hard to keep track of all the clients...

I literally have 5 installed. Exciting times. The birth of a social network created by users for users.

[-] armrods@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released

Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good

[-] MrMarques8701@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Liftoff seems decent

[-] elboyoloco@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.

[-] Gxost@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.

[-] burretploof@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] L3ft3r1s@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.

[-] DerpyPlayz18@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync

I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!

[-] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I'm so tired of that, Especially when a site says to use their app and won't let you keep browsing the site because the popup is in the way.. Why even have the website anymore.

[-] ffolkes@fanexus.com 3 points 1 year ago

Thunder is pretty amazing right now.

wefwef is surprisingly good

[-] rei@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

wefwef.app until Sync for Lemmy is out

[-] TheFrirish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.app

Works really smooth.

[-] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!

[-] MrNemobody@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.

[-] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

At the moment I'm just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Wildf1re@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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).

[-] glarf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.

[-] HanSooloo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.

[-] CaldeiraG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances

[-] tallwookie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

browser. i'll revisit that decision in a few months.
