Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself
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.
Which one would you recommend for Android?
I used RiF for reddit. I’ve tried all lemmy apps and ended up with Liftoff. It has a nice UI, supports multiple accounts on multiple instances and is working stable. All that’s missing for now is top 12 hours and top 6 hours.
Thunder works well for me so far. There’s also liftoff that I’ve heard good things about, but I can’t install it for some reason.
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)
Nice. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I can’t change the font size in liftoff either, or am I missing something? Title and header works, but there’s no setting for body and comment.
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).

Next version is adding this i think. https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

sometimes I’ll make a comment so I can come back to a thread later
There’s a “save” function for that, a star that you press. Currently you can’t see your saves either, so it doesn’t help you, but I’m sure this will be fixed. It’ll be good to use that instead of leaving a bunch of “following” comments :-)
Doh! Thank you for pointing this out. Sometimes I don’t notice things right there in front of me!
There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
Yeah, +1 to Wefwef - been using it on all my devices and it’s great!
I’ve had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn’t recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.
I had to use my email rather than username, though I’m aware not all instances require one.
Wow, liftoff is smooth. I think I sticking with it for awhile

Jerboa works perfectly fine for me and it’s probably my favorite out of all the ones I’ve tried. It’s unfortunate you’re having issues.
Your instance must be on the latest version. I think it’s mainly lemmy.world users having issues atm.
Yeah. It’s on 0.18
I’m using “thunder” right now. Can recommend
That swipe right to up-/dowvote is super annoying. Should be swipe right for up, swipe left for downvoting.
Didn’t check if an issue has been opened, yet. Otherwise looks very promising.
I wish RedReader would exist for lemmy. It’s UX has been tuned over the years and is 99.9% perfect.

I like thunder but there are just a few things I dont like about it
You can disable swiping
or use V0.34. It works for me

I’m using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it’s working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.
It’s crashing for me after a few minutes, but otherwise works. I also get a message about my instance being incompatible, maybe it’s instance dependent?
Yeah I got that warning for a while before this too. It doesn’t crash now but it still return network error. I think you may be right about it being instance dependent. Meanwhile I’m checking out wefwef and I think I’m in love.
Liftoff is the best app right now.
Have you tried https://wefwef.app?
Wefwef is great
Another vouch for wefwef, it’s been my preferred app
I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.
Or use Obtanium to get it!
I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv
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.
Connect is pretty good!

I’ve just downloaded Liftoff. It’s pretty nice. And it works:) 😁
Just clear data and cache and it’ll work
No it won’t
