I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.

[–] avatar@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want whatever is closest to Baconreader

[–] wittyshizard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Me 2, I wish they would pivot

[–] diffaldo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Using wefwef.app its amazing.

[–] Weborl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

I'm using Lemmy as an android pwa. Works well. I liked Jerboa but it was too buggy.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] iptvsports28@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Just signed up today and am using jerboa.

[–] hydroel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don't always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can't say it's pretty.

So far, I really like Thunder's looks, interface and UX. It's not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it's also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they're not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I've been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.

Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don't like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.

Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!

[–] Crackerjack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same here, loved Boost

[–] planforrain@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I am using jerboa but really miss redreader, the creator floated making it support lemmy and I am excited for that possibility but am sticking with jerboa for now.

[–] IoSapsai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can't seem to login with jerboa because "my server version is too low"...

[–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Wefwef.app best app so far

[–] erre@feddit.win 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa and Connect. The former has been a bit unstable recently so Connect has been my go-to most recently.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Connect for Lemmy

Pretty slick so far

[–] Tamhenk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.

Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.

[–] Relaxxx@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

So far I've tried Jerboa, liftoff and wefwef. Being a RIF user for many years I feel Jerboa is closest to the UX but I am more comfortable with wefwef. Ask me again tomorrow as I will probably try other alternatives. This is like the good ole Linux distro hopping days when I tried over 30 distros before settling with KDE neon for the last 3 years.

[–] Marble_turret@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Boost for Lemmy is coming soon!

[–] felixculpa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using Liftoff and I've liked it so far

[–] Imactuallyanandroid@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Connect for lemmy has been great so far.

[–] free_owl716@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Jeroba for me

[–] MaharajaH@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Any iOS apps?

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Commenting from "Connect for Lemmy". I started using Jerboa, bit it's broken just now, it'll hopefully be back in an update soon.

Wefwef is good, but Sync is better imo

After a quick search, I've decided to settle on Connect. The UI looks really familiar to Infinity, which is a giant plus for me.

[–] ronalicious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

on connect after the jerboa problems, taking a look at wefwef too, but it loads in my browser... haven't dug into the UI much, but it seems decent.

[–] Alfuh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

Been trying all of them but I keep going back to Liftoff. Looking forward to Sync and Boost.

[–] Artaca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep! Liftoff is the choice until Sync comes out! It does the trick.
