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!
Edit: !lemmynade@lemm.ee for anyone wanting to follow
Man that looks good
Thank you, means a lot!
Ahhh too bad I can’t sub to the community right now (I guess it’s a very new community and my instance isn’t up to date for now)
Hmm… have you tried pasting the full “!lemmynade@lemm.ee” into the search box from your instance?
Yep, seems like nothing is found. I’ll try with the web UI later
lemm.ee looks like it’s running a pretty old version and I can’t search that community :( could be a me issue though.
Man I love how new apps are coming out everyday. It feels like I’m witnessing history in the making, in the next 5 years we can probably talk about the time when Lemmy was getting a new app everyday.
Thanks for your contribution, looks great! The more the merrier.
I’m just here to read what everyone else is using. I only know of jerboa
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…
I started with Jerboa, but it wouldn’t let me off the local instance after initially being pretty good. Quite buggy for me. I switched to connect and I’m impressed so far.
The same thing happened to me, except I had two accounts and I’d see the local feed of the other account than the one I was logged into. I switched to summit, but it’s buggy, unintuitive, and it’s missing critical features like subscribing to a new community or accessing my profile settings.
fwiw Jerboa fixed that with the latest update that dropped about 8 hours ago. It was frustrating for a couple days there
Have you tried WefWef?
Thanks for sharing! My favoriate app so far.
same. i only know memmy.
Im trying several others while they work out the kinks in Jerboa (it doesnt work very welll if you use Lemmy.World as your instance), but it honestly feels the best out of all of them.
I’m coming from RiF is Fun, so it reminds me a lot of their layout.
Also a former rif user, and I also really like Jerboa. But I haven’t been able to use it for awhile now, with the update/server weirdness.
Also coming from RIF and I thought the same thing. It’s buggy, but it has potential to be my go-to app if the wrinkles get smoothed out.
Same! Have only used Jerboa so far and think it feels simple enough to use coming from RiF. If you end up liking any of the others compared to Jerboa please let me know
Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff… I’m reading the replies to you to see what to try next!
Trying Summit for the first time, it’s really good! Multiple accounts, good UI reminding me of RiF and hasn’t crashed yet. I find Jerboa clunky.
Connect is my other fave.
I’m loving thunder so far
I’m currently on Summit. I like it. I tried Jerboa.
Same
Where do you get lemming and lemmotif?
Some of those I can’t find. Are those apple apps? I am using the Google Play store and can’t find all those apps and I want them.
Liftoff was just added to play store so it may not come up in searches yet.
Thanks just added it.
As far as I can tell most android Lemmy clients aren’t on play store but the dev’s GitHub (Liftoff, Thunder, Lemming)
So I get them from GitHub and install them on my phone?
Yep, can find some of them here, typically wanna check the releases on the git for the apk file https://lemmy.ml/post/1162300
Thank you will check them out.
So far which is your favorite. Mine is thunder
I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I’m happy with it.
Typing with connect, you can tell it’s beta quality but it’s pretty good so far
Thx you stranger, this is the boost-like app I was looking for !
Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn’t crash randomly.
+1 the same for me
Connect feels the most like Boost, so I’m happy with it.
I like jerboa because i can install it from fdroid
Only one app? Those are rookie numbers
I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, been using Jebora and also Liftoff. Sticking with Connect for now, I’m liking the swipe actions
Same, but I >need< the Sync for Reddit feature of swiping left-to-right to get out of posts
Can’t wait for Sync for lemmy to drop
Liftoff does that
Just installed it, thanks!
Miss this from infinity
Indeed, the swipe actions are really nice. Wefwef and Thunder also have them, but they from what I can tell don’t have a page for my saved posts/comments, so right now Connect’s my favorite.
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
i 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…
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.
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.
It’s just Jerboa. I use Connect for Lemmy and that problem doesn’t exist. I think the dev for Jerboa doesn’t want to spend time making it backwards compatible, but other clients are.
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.
So you don’t see a speech bubble in the row under the picture?
No, just number of comments, upvote/downvote buttons and scores, and the button to save the post. I’m on 0.0.36 right now.
I definitely added more instances on liftoff
Edit: profile > settings > accounts > bottom right corner has a button that allows you to add instances
It’s definitely not intuitive, I admit
Oh I found that but it doesn’t seem to work for feddit.nl, the final “add” button never lights up. I’ve tried writing it as “feddit.nl” or “https://feddit.nl”, same thing.
There’s going to be a Liftoff update released later today that fixes this. There was an issue for v0.18.1 that impacted ability to add instances that I just fixed. Your instance just happened to update a bit early!
Ah right, I did notice they updated to 0.18.1 sometime yesterday. The web UI for 0.18 is pretty cool btw. 😃
No worries, it’s to be expected for stuff to break right now, with all the client apps and instances developing like crazy. 😺
The pace is certainly quick at the moment lol
Please report back on this “real life” thing
I was getting that for my lemmy.world account. Had to swap to lemmy.ml and it works fine. I know lemmy.world Devs have not updated to the latest version of lemmy, so possibly it’s a similar situation with your instance?
Try Connect for Lemmy. Jerboa is just very badly bugged and a poor UX right now. Connect seems to be much less buggy as well as more usable generally.
Is there any list of the apps? The official list doesn’t seem to be up to date
Not that I am aware of. Connect was suggested to me by word-of-comment.
I’m so used to web clients I can’t get myself to use third-party apps anymore.
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.
What are you using instead?
A mixture of Mobile Web and Connect. I’ll probably re-evaluate in a couple of weeks. I really liked Jerboa, but new posts never seemed to refresh on my instance, I’ll probably try that again.
I just found out about wefwef.app
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.
Talk about endorsements lol
How do you downvote using wefwef? I can’t seem to figure it out.
It follows the apolloapp.io gestures. Swipe to the far right to downvote.
It’s slick. I can’t believe it’s a web app. The reply buttons are a bit different, I had to find the swipe to reply.
Just tried it out and I can’t believe a web app can feel so native! It’s awesome.
I legitimately keep forgetting it’s not native, and am quite happy not needing to install another app to use it. Game changer right here.
Jerboa 0.0.37 is awesome. Huge Liftoff user past week :D
I strongly disagree.
0.0.37 is completely unusable for me. It crashes on startup. And the updates before are terrible when it comes to playing with anything but the bleeding edge of lemmy versions. Switching profiles is also shit.
Jerboa started crashing on me after the latest release. Then it updated and has worked great ever since
I also tried Lemur, but never got it to actually load after logging in
Lemur’s been deprecated, so I unfortunately it makes sense that it doesn’t work.
That’s because the instance you’re using is not updated to 18. Im in jerboa right now and it’s buttery smooth. I use liftoff and connect but jerboa is still tops. Currentlyat .0.37
Crashfest
Ditto. Wasn’t working well yesterday. Updated this morning and now it won’t even open.
Installed Connect and am very happy.
Jerboa is fantastic. To everyone having issues, your home instance probably has not been updated to 0.18 yet. Once 0.18.1 is officially released soon, most major servers will update to it. I am coming from Relay for Reddit if that matters.
Crazy that so many people are having crashes and trouble, while it’s working great for me on my Galaxy Z Fold 4, even surviving resizes and folding/unfolding
wefwef & thunder here 🫡
It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.
I just wish you could set a dark mode independently of the system theme.
Dude, I started with Mlem, then moved on to Memmy and now I am using wefwef full time!
I feel it’s the most polished out of all the apps on iOS.
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
Im waiting for the block option and hide when read.
Using the PWA until Sync for Lemmy is released.
You should try out wefwef.app
It is an Apollo like web app for Lemmy.
Trying it right now, thanks!
I‘m using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.
Eyyy my friends on IOS were complaining about no app! Thank you!! Looks pretty nice
Just Jerboa normally… but it’s so buggy that I discovered Connect. It’s amazing.
Same path for me. Looking at options here to see what might work best for me
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.
Seconded for connect, works great!
Switched from jerboa to connect cause it was crashing constantly on my pixel, but the UI has some weird things about it
Do you also get the thing where chunks of comments are just repeated over and over? Or like 4 posts loop for a while?
