Which app is most like RIF? I’m using Jebora currently.
Jebora is glitched in my phone so now I’m using liftoff, the UI is not the best, but at least it works
I tried using Jerboa but it’s very badly bugged right now. Have been using Connect for Lemmy. As a long-time (10yr ) RIF user it doesn’t even get close to RIF, but it’s the best I’ve used so far. Here’s hoping TalkLittle or someone else makes an app for Lemmy (as I understand it he’s making RIF for Tildes, but Tildes has its own problems). Connect for Lemmy is OK, and is quite usable.
Summit is the closest from what I’ve seen. But it has some very basic things missing like an inbox. But it’s my favorite feeling app.
I’m using Mlem, Wefwef, and Memmy. I think Memmy will win out but the other two are pretty nice as well.
I’m using liftoff (Android), best one I’ve found so far.
Just started testing Liftoff today. Really great looking app! Thunder is coming along nicely too.
How does it compare to connect for Lemmy?
After the few initial minutes of using both Liftoff and connect, I prefer the design of liftoff so much more. Though I seem to be having some issues adding in comments or upvoting/downvoting things via liftoff, but having no issues with Connect. So I’m not sure what’s going on. Any help would be appreciated.
connect loaded slowly (especially images) for me and Liftoff had a cleaner interface imo, loaded posts fast and it resembles Infinity for Reddit more than connect (with the settings I chose), if that’s anything to go by.
I concur, It has the smoothest UX there is
Typing this from WefWef. I love it so far.
Probably will test out Artemis and Memmy as well.
None of them are very complete. The ones that are good are missing features and the ones that are complete aren’t good. I’m using wefwef.app for the most part. Just navigate there in your browser and bammo! Instant app.
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it’s slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you’re into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could’ve gotten something out there a week ago, but I’ve got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn’t even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It’s easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels “right”
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you’re on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It’s still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it’s moving fast
UX may be a taste thing but I cannot second the speed critic. On Firefox it’s sluggish as hell, yeah, but using it with Chrome wefwef feels like a native app.
I’ve got 8 installed 😅
Which ones?? 👀
Connect and jerboa here
I just found out about wefwef.app
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.
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
I was using Jerboa first, but performance was terrible. I’ve now switched to Liftoff which seems way better.
Same, Thunder is mid with perfomane, how they can’t make the scrolling smooth is really weird.
Liftoff is the first really decent one for me
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
Mlem, Memmy, wefwef, and the browser pwa. So far wefwef is my main go to, followed by Memmy.
Oh My God There are apps? I’m sitting here using my browser
I’m using liftoff btw
Finding it better than others as of now.
Try this! https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
Is this a weapon for Lemmy?
Yup, I have a bunch of lemmy apps on my phone, but lately I have found myself using Liftoff the most, and Jerboa is probably second in my opinion.
I think when all things are stabilized jerboa will be my favorite. But I’m using Liftoff now as well.
I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I’m happy with it.
Connect feels the most like Boost, so I’m happy with it.
+1 the same for me
Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn’t crash randomly.
Thx you stranger, this is the boost-like app I was looking for !
Typing with connect, you can tell it’s beta quality but it’s pretty good so far
wefwef & thunder here 🫡
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
Im waiting for the block option and hide when read.
It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.
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.
