Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself

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

It'd be better to just drop it at this point and focus on Lemmy. It's causing people to get fustrated. The other apps are doing a much bettter job now.

[-] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Which one would you recommend for Android?

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 17 points 1 year ago

Yep, it's going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.

I've moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I'll be there.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I've been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I've seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can't see anyway to adjust it.

on wefwef there is an icon for configurations where you can change font size (Settings -> appearance)

You're welcome!

[-] NoTime@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

I can recommend, for Android:

Connect

Liftoff

Thunder

I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

I've had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn't recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.

[-] TiresomeOuting@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I had to use my email rather than username, though I'm aware not all instances require one.

[-] Gamera8ID@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

I'm using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it's working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.

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

I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.

[-] Amex@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Or use Obtanium to get it!

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

Liftoff is the best app right now.

Another vouch for wefwef, it’s been my preferred app

[-] Player2alpha@mastodon.social 4 points 1 year ago

@chloetse @jerboa I'm giving thunder and liftoff a try. Both seem much nicer right away

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv

[-] Stilicho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Just clear data and cache and it'll work

[-] Gevian@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

No it won't

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

This is the client I was using and it just won't start anymore. I'll try again later but guess I'll try another client in the meantime.

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

I've just downloaded Liftoff. It's pretty nice. And it works:) 😁

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
