Don’t know what app I like yet.

  • Connect have the worse UI in my opinion (things are hidden).
  • Jerboa crashes a lot on my phone.
  • Thunder is slow to load and the search is bad.
  • wefwef I like the search and exploration, but the text editing is the worse.

Where’s Sync?!? 😭

      When did you last use Connect? All of these apps are improving fast. Right now, I prefer Connect.

      Agreed. I’ve been trying to rotate between Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect and I just keep floating back to Liftoff for now. Finding I like the UI the best at this point and I’ve also been experiencing less issues with it as well.

      But excited to see how they all continue to develop!

        Liftoff feels so smooth, looks great, runs well, and is so intuitive. It’s easily my favorite Lemmy browser.

          I have lots like OP’s pic, but keep clicking Liftoff. Well, after I’ve clicked Sync and closed it :(

      I’ve had almost zero issues with Liftoff other than switching the global sorting in the general settings causing duplicate posts from communities in the current instance I was in, but other than that it is fast, not bad looking and straightforward.

      I like it overall, but it’s so unintuitive to me. Not a huge fan of the slide functionality, especially the dual action sliding. It probably gets easier once you get used to it though.

        It definitely gets easier as you use it. Now the slides in connect irritate me, because if I overshoot and reach the save one, it saves even if I don’t actually remove my finger and that’s annoying because I have to unsave again.

      I really didn’t like the UI. Very intuitive for being on Sync for years. I’m on Jerboa while waiting for Sync to be ready.

    Wasn’t aware of Connect, that might actually be the one to hold me until Sync comes out. I was jumping between jerboa (for the swipe actions) and thunder (for the UI similar to sync), but connect seems to have both and a few other things that remind me of Sync (cards for posts, hold to collapse comment thread, swipe actions for post).

    I know you posted out of frustration but thanks for the suggestion!

      I get frustrated with the way connect does hold to collapse, because it means that I can’t copy text to cite in comment replies.

        You can tap the comment, go on the three dots and it will give you the option to copy text. Haven’t really tried but I assume it would copy the entire comment so it would probably need some editing in case you just want to cite part of it.

        Yeah, I can understand that, in sync you can at least copy while you are replying, connect still does the collapse on the reply page with the single comment you’re replying to

        it means that I can’t copy text to cite in comment replies.

        Like /u/Danilo said; you need to tap the comment, copy text and then insert as a quote. It’s not exactly intuitive, but it seems to be the way to do it. I hope it gets fixed.

        Edit: spelling.

    Connect has blocking communities and hiding threads which is fantastic. I’m waiting for something better, but I need to be able to block the massive amount of futa/hentai/ai porn communities on here.

      Seriously, I feel like I block 3 to 5 new porn communities per day. There’s some weird shit on here. Can’t wait to til we can block whole instances. I would like to be able to browse All without seeing lemmynsfw

        Connect has a block instance feature. I haven’t used it.

        Ugh. I wish posting a comment wouldn’t switch me to a single comment chain. I want to keep scrolling from where I was, not have to find it again!

    Me too. I kept changing between Connect, Jerboa and LiftOff.

    But over the last couple of days Connect has pulled into the lead and I find myself sticking with it at the moment.

    Waiting for Sync though!

      Same here… flipping back and forth between connect and liftoff. Connect definitely looks and feels better but liftoff seems to have a better search 🤷‍♂️ Waiting patiently 😀

      Same here. I have all three installed. I’m leaning towards connect, but sometimes use jerboa if something weird happens in connect

        Same here. Mainly using connect. Also have jerboa and liftoff installed.

        I’ll likely switch to sync when there is a functional release, that was my goto reddit app.

    I switched from Jerboa to Connect, and then stayed with Connect.

    I think the most recent Connect updates makes it much better. I’ve been using it more than Liftoff the last couple of days. Is Thunder not on the Google Play store? I couldn’t find it.

    I’m trying out Liftoff right now, and so far I think it’s given me the best overall experience. I think I’ll wait until the rest of the Lemmy apps stabilize before thinking about trying other apps again.

    I’m holding out hope for boost lemmy. Used boost exclusively for Reddit for the longest time. Jebora seems to work best for me but Ive had both Jeb and connect for a while.

    I’m mostly on mobile for vacation reasons, so I’m chilling on wefwef, but if they don’t add blocking soon I’ll move on. Can’t handle the “blahaj”.

    I’m most excited to try Liftoff because it looks like the most x-platform compatibility? I think I saw windows/macOS/iOS/android, and I use all 4. I prefer apps to website browsing for this sort of thing on desktop, so that’s attractive.

    Interested to hear what other people are using/enjoying!
