I love Mlem and wefwef.app so far. I've seen a lot of people mention Memmy but I haven't really used it yet.

What do you like to use for mobile Lemmy?

Love Memmy but started using wefwef and have started to prefer that. Feels 100% like Apollo to me.

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was having some issues with wefwef with things like saving posts but that seems to be fixed now, which is good!

It does feel exactly like Apollo which is why I've been using it haha

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I also find it pretty cool, being a web app!

Connect at the moment. I plan on switching to Boost when it's available, but Connect has been really good so far!

[–] Chemslayer 3 points 1 year ago

+1 for connect, I was originally on Jerboa but it crashed so dang often. I like that switching accounts is easy, makes it a breeze to have my general interests Beehaw account and my niche interests account and swap between them

I've personally just been browsing it from Firefox Mobile. So far, so good!

[–] HowlsSophie 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa worked well for me up until the server shut down yesterday. I like the layout and it's easy to use. I still keep the desktop version bookmarked so using that right now.

[–] Rentlar 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try logging out and logging into Jerboa. The session invalidation done as a precaution made the app go a little awry.

[–] HowlsSophie 2 points 1 year ago

It worked! Thank you!

[–] 0nyxee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Decided to try liftoff and so far I'm liking it. Might have to try out a few others to see how they compare though

[–] gk99 4 points 1 year ago

I second Liftoff, though I'm honestly just using it while I wait for Boost to get its Lemmy port. It's pretty fully-featured and I haven't had any technical issues with it.

Only gripe really is that the UI is a little obtuse in some very specific areas.

Mlem and Memmy for me, Memmy is pulling ahead lately for me

[–] xts@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Memmy doesn’t seem to show all of the same posts I get on wefwef/Voyager so I don’t use it much anymore. Not sure what the issue is there but wefwef is getting pretty close to the Apollo experience so I’m enjoying that

[–] fades 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t say I’ve had the same but yes wefwef is excellent

[–] superflippy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Memmy won’t upvote comments for me. Does it work for you?

[–] fades 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, go to your user profile, edit account > tap the password field and then tap save. That will force the app to re-auth you and your feed and votes should resume working.

Took me a little bit to nail that issue down

[–] superflippy 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks. The latest update made me log back in & it’s working 100x better!

[–] Evergreen5970 5 points 1 year ago

Just the default browser that comes with my phone!

[–] diamond 4 points 1 year ago

I made my own app at Slemmy!

Thanks to the CORS PR that I made to upstream Lemmy, all web clients should now be a lot easier to maintain, so I'm resuming work on mine as well!

[–] Gabino3503 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I began using Mlem and later also tested out Memmy. A few weeks ago, I found out that TestFlight could not download the newer versions of Mlem, as my iPhone 7 cannot be updated to the latest iOS. Since then, I have been using Memmy.

[–] superflippy 2 points 1 year ago

I was also using Mlem & lost it during an update even though I have a new iPhone. I tried Memmy for iOS but it’s kind of terrible. So now I just use the browser.

[–] skepticalifornia 3 points 1 year ago

Liftoff on Android and Memmy on my iPad. These are close to the experiences of Sync and Apollo.

[–] jmbmkn 3 points 1 year ago

I like where Thunder are going, I've not noticed missing features that others talk about.

[–] Boozilla 3 points 1 year ago

Liftoff on Android works pretty well.

[–] grapple 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa! Picked that since it's from the Lemmy devs.

[–] Thalestr 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing! I don't browse it from my phone.

[–] TimTheEnchanter 2 points 1 year ago

Been using Memmy and it’s pretty nice so far.

[–] SomeGuyNamedPaul 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use the standard PWA. It really needs infinite scroll because I constantly flip to the next page and see the same several posts again.

Edit: wefwef has infinite scroll and helped me find subs similar to what I had on Reddit. It wins for now, though it's not quite there for what I had with RiF

[–] tentphone@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Connect for Lemmy on Android. It looks nice and has clickable usernames/community names in feeds, a good community search function, keyword-based post blocking, and community/user/instance blocking.

[–] Swimmerman96 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I flip between a Progressive Web App, Thunder, Jerboa, and Liftoff on Mobile (Android). I've been spending most of my time in Thunder, but each method is missing just a couple features that others cover which are occasionally useful.

[–] LeftHandedWave@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should try Connect. It's the best one for me, until Sync for Lemmy drops.

[–] Swimmerman96 2 points 1 year ago

I'll add that to my rotation! So far it's looking like the most complete app yet. I'm also keeping an eye on Boost for Lemmy, as an ex-Boost for Reddit user.

[–] zettajon 1 points 1 year ago

I use Firefox Nightly Android with Stylus alongside this userstyle I made: https://userstyles.world/style/10233/zettajon-1440p-and-darkmode-supported-lemmy

[–] ObiGynKenobi 1 points 1 year ago

How are you all using apps without issue? I have Connect, Liftoff and Jerboa, and with all of them I can't seem to comment. I get messages that I need to log-in, or that my votes don't register, or some crazy code (as in coder) that covers my entire screen. This doesn't happen with Lemm.ee, only Beehaw. It's honestly super frustrating and has hampered my engagement within Beehaw.
