What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. My problems with jerboa:

  • When I write a pm to someone it sends that message to myself
  • Language of the interface is Polish (my first language) and I can't change it to english (at least on the version that I'm on rn)
  • Scrolling is very buggy (it stutters a lot)
  • Often when I want to make a comment it doesn't send it and I have to go to my pc an rewrite my comment to be able to send it
  • It doesn't play gifs on the feed by default, I have to open the image to play the gif
  • It doesn't play gifs in the comments at all and there's no way for me to play them
  • There are no embeds for videos (not sure if there's any mobile app that has that)
  • etc.

What I'm looking for:

  • An app with developed UI/UX
  • Obligatory dark mode
  • Something that resolves my problems with jerboa

Any recommendations or apps that I should follow the development of?

I like Connect. It has it's own bugs though.

That's the one I'm using as well right now though the newest update introduced significant lag when interacting with the sidebar, I'm unsure if that's cause of the number of subs I subbed to.

I know this wasn't asked, but the reddit is fun dev is making a Tildes app if you have an account there

I had to leave Jerboa as well (at least until they fix the crashing on launch) and I'm liking Thunder (available on fdroid and github they have a iOS version for the interested) with connect as second favourite (available on the playstore, not sure about iOS)

Thunder has one annoyance, they don't really have a profile tab, so you can't see saved posts on the app. And connect's post writing sometime glitches on me.

The first time I tried installing jerboa from f-droid I couldn't even open it. Then I installed jerboa from my browser and the problems haven't appeared again

Had the same problem, I was spam tapping on the app while opening it each time and after some tries it started working and I haven't encountered the problem again lol.

Looking forward to Boost for Lemmy. While I love open source, Boost was just a head above the rest for me while still being free

I'm currently using connect for Lemmy. Jerboa was crashing a ton for me in the last week. Connect seems to be more stable and has a better UI

[โ€“] gruvn@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still new but I installed a bunch of apps to try (including wefwef, jerboa, connect and lemmur). My favourite so far is Thunder.

[โ€“] Southrydge@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

I use WebApps from f-droid

[โ€“] jursed 1 points 1 year ago

I tried jerboa and liftoff, but for whatever reason it didnt click well for me. I almost stuck with liftoff, but now I'm currently waiting for boost for Lemmy to come out since ive used that app for the longest time.

So far I've found Connect > wefwef >= jerboa.

As a sync user for like 10 years though, I'm very excited for sync for Lemmy.

[โ€“] Glarrf@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit summit which is pretty nice except that I can't seem to find the settings, it does work well though.

The last few releases of Jerboa have been atrocious. It's currently crashing when backing out of activities, voting, or commenting. I tried Thunder but the UI is extremely confusing for me.
