I use jerboa but I'd try out any libre client. I'm not interested in proprietary apps.
Funny enough I never saw the need for dedicated website apps for e.g. reddit, but the fediverse is somewhat clumsy to use in a browser (I'm aware that browser extensions can help) so an app actually improves the experience a bit.
I'm using Jerboa, but it keeps crashing and on every statup complains that my instance is not compatible with the updated version. This drives me back to reddit and when it shuts off apps, I'll probably go back to real life.
In the latest version of Jerboa I can't change from All / Active anymore. 😊 Also I can't figure out for the life of me how to make a top level comment, they're doesn't seem to be a button for it.
Thunder didn't have sorting by top last time I checked. Liftoff can't add other instances than the 3 it comes with.
So you don't see a speech bubble in the row under the picture?
No, just number of comments, upvote/downvote buttons and scores, and the button to save the post. I'm on 0.0.36 right now.
It's just Jerboa. I use Connect for Lemmy and that problem doesn't exist. I think the dev for Jerboa doesn't want to spend time making it backwards compatible, but other clients are.
Please report back on this "real life" thing
Try Connect for Lemmy. Jerboa is just very badly bugged and a poor UX right now. Connect seems to be much less buggy as well as more usable generally.
I'm so used to web clients I can't get myself to use third-party apps anymore.
For me there's one massive flaw with the mobile web version of Lemmy - that when you go "back" after viewing a post the page scrolls near to the top of the page. If it weren't for that I'd happily give up the quest for an app.
What are you using instead?
A mixture of Mobile Web and Connect. I'll probably re-evaluate in a couple of weeks. I really liked Jerboa, but new posts never seemed to refresh on my instance, I'll probably try that again.
