I’m currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!
Thunder
Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows “Network error”. Installed Wefwef and it’s ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.
Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
At the moment I’m just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.
jerboa most of the time : it’s quite light (3,2Mo), it’s on fdroid, it’s pretty useable. But it’s crashing a lot thèse days
Connect for Lemmy.
It’s being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It’s come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Connect here too. Jerboa kept crashing on me. When it did load it couldn’t connect. When it could connect it wouldn’t load in icons and left some posts blank.
Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It’s crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn’t handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn’t support wide screens very well.
Personally, I use Jerboa on mobile. It’s got its own problems and compatibility issues, but they’re also not so significant that it makes me want to go use another app, and with lemmy.world still being on an older version that probably isn’t compatible with most apps that work for 0.18 and above, the risk of breaking everything makes it not that worthwhile.
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I’m using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren’t good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn’t quite tic all the boxes, it’s Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
Wefwef until it exploted on lemmy.world, Jerboa is dead with lemmy.world as well…
Man, lemmy.world really needs to fix their instance to make it at time when “the big migration” happens.
For now I’m using Liftoff and Connect, with honorable mentions to Lemming and Thunder.
Actually I use all of them lol.
Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!
Same here, loved Boost
Using Liftoff, it’s pretty good!
Liftoff is still ‘early access’ and yet… so polished. It immediately became my go-to.
I can’t believe that just a couple of weeks ago, we had a single (Android) solution. Suddenly, it’s hard to keep track of all the clients…
I literally have 5 installed. Exciting times. The birth of a social network created by users for users.
Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it’s just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I’m viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.
Apparently my desired feature is already present. From the Home tab the Subscribed/Local/All button expands to let you pick which logged in account to show.
