Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It's getting old really fast.
PWA always have a ton of UI quirks that make them hard to use. Itβs a cool idea and I wish they would take off but they just arenβt there and Iβm not sure wefwef will be able to overcome that, as good as it looks.
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Any plans to make it an iOS app that you know of?
Memmy is great too!
It's a PWA which means you can install it on any phone
+1 for Liftoff
I'm another Liftoff user!
I've also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I'm using Liftoff a lot.
I like Liftoff and Jerboa. I flip between them depending on my mood.
https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.
Just installed it. It looks like Apple's UI, which gives it a kind of uncanny valley on my Android phone. Will use alongside Liftoff until I like one better, thanks for mentioning it!
I've got it installed as a PWA (Firefox Android). It's great but is there any way to get it to open links in my proper browser rather than the web view type thing?
Sync for Lemmy (android)
I've been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don't get me wrong they're both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I've tried, and I have tried several of them. I'll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.
Yeah I like Jerboa. Development has been pretty fast too.
Boost is coming to Lemmy? Where can I follow for info on that? That was the app I used for Reddit, and while Jerboa has similar features it's not quite the same for me. Especially the swipe gestures...
Also, surprisingly, Boost is still working for me fot Reddit. I'm still waiting for it to crash.
Android user here, I'm quite happy with Connect for Lemmy
The official community is at /c/lemmyconnect
+1 on connect. The things it can't do well, namely searching, I do in wefwef
Really liking thunder, now that I can view profiles and edit comments.
Android user here. Liftoff is unmatched in terms of its visual presentation.
Well the app is currently in the earlier phases of development but i think more people should know that there is currently an attempt at porting slide for reddit to lemmy. here is the releases from the repository https://github.com/bqv/slide/releases, but its very early in development
Wow, did not expect Slide for Lemmy. I used Slide for years until the api shutdown. I'm really looking forward for this app
'Connect' seems to be quite good.
I have about 6 installed. Connect is good. Liking Infinity right now. Jerboa is really good, but I like to have comments sorted by top as a default which is doesn't do...yet.
Really, I'm waiting for Boost, but likely jump between a few for now.
Wefwef. Mlem is showing promise.
Not sure if same on iPhone but wefwef.app is great on android. Tried jerboa, connect and liftoff, this one is a pwa and it works quite well.
+1 for Liftoff. I've got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.
Android: Eternity (A Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.) https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
I use Infinity for reddit and am now using infinity for lemmy, I like the familiarity and with a bit more work it will probably become the standard android lemmy app. Having said that I liked jerboa and still use it too.
Infinity for Reddit was my favourite Reddit client, and now that Infinity has a Lemmy fork I use it exclusively.
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you'd like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all
Not out yet, but the (IMO) unquestionably best Reddit app, Boost, is currently being ported to Lemmy - follow here for updates: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
Jerboa seems great to me
I'm constantly trying out all the ones I can find but so far connect is the only one where I can customise the colours. I love me a sepia theme!
Luckily it's also great in other ways.
Infinity
They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them
Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.
Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts
Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store
