I was using connect and preferred that, but it stopped working on me. I use liftoff now. Dont like it as much, but it allows you to navigate to other instances easier

I like Liftoff but I miss Reply notifications.

..Nvm I found it

[โ€“] FarLine99@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, notifications are not there. Waiting...

I started with Jerboa and moved to Liftoff due to bugginess. Then moved from Liftoff to Connect because it's easier to flip between accounts with fewer taps. I was on Boost for R and am hoping the new upcoming Lemmy app is as good.

Connect almost does it for me, but it doesn't let me set default to Front Page or Subscribed sorted by New. I don't want to have to tap multiple times to get to that view every time I open the app.

It's the fastest app out of fall of them and I've tested all the ones I can find on android

It's 2nd best to wefwef.app. The only thing wefwef needs is a grey theme, then it would be perfect. Also it's web based and no dedicated app. But the PWA app is quite good.

wefwef is really cool, such a polished experience ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

I liked it so much that now I'm using it on my Linux install.

I wanted to try liftoff but I could ever get logged in on Android. So I just used connect.

I love it. Some things are a bit awkward ui wise but it's smooth, fast and doesn't heat up my oneplus one

Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.

A couple features I'd like to see implemented:

  • Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
  • Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.

Best app for my taste, similar to Infinity for Reddit.
