I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.
This is where I’m at, but Connect seems to freeze up on me a lot, so I’m thinking of getting a third lol
i switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can’t see any way to vote on comments.
I use wefwef.app now, first comment in this app. Looks good. Jerbora Was crashing on me all the time…
Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:
A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!
Edit: !lemmynade@lemm.ee for anyone wanting to follow
Man that looks good
Thank you, that means a lot!
lemm.ee looks like it’s running a pretty old version and I can’t search that community :( could be a me issue though.
Ahhh too bad I can’t sub to the community right now (I guess it’s a very new community and my instance isn’t up to date for now)
Man I love how new apps are coming out everyday. It feels like I’m witnessing history in the making, in the next 5 years we can probably talk about the time when Lemmy was getting a new app everyday.
I‘m using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.
Eyyy my friends on IOS were complaining about no app! Thank you!! Looks pretty nice
Zero so far. Who needs (third-party) apps, amirite?
Well technically Jerboa is first party app
I’ve literally created a separate folder for Lemmy apps on my phone. I have 4 so far and I’ll continue to get more until I find the one. Jerboa, liftoff, connect for Lemmy and thunder. Jerboa still doesn’t let me log in with that stupid server error. Liftoff is weird. Thunder is ok, but has some quirks, like you can’t exit the app with the back button (I’m on Android). Connect is the best so far, but I feel like it doesn’t sync well. None of them sends notifications. Situation isn’t the greatest so far, but we are getting there
I’m using connect since it’s the only one I have found that have notifications, I had to turn them on in the settings, it polls every 60 seconds.
Which app is most like RIF? I’m using Jebora currently.
Summit is the closest from what I’ve seen. But it has some very basic things missing like an inbox. But it’s my favorite feeling app.
Jebora is glitched in my phone so now I’m using liftoff, the UI is not the best, but at least it works
I’ll keep downloading new ones until i find one that feels like home. Still waiting for infinity to make a Lemmy app.
Thunder looks like infinity a bit. Saw someone making an infinity for lemmy by the name of Beyond but not released yet. Connect for lemmy looks almost exactly like Infinity but I cant figure some stuff out on there so Thunder for now.
There’s also Infinity for Everything in Development
Can’t wait to try beyond, thunder is super buggy on my phone with infinite loading for a lot of stuff.
I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, been using Jebora and also Liftoff. Sticking with Connect for now, I’m liking the swipe actions
Indeed, the swipe actions are really nice. Wefwef and Thunder also have them, but they from what I can tell don’t have a page for my saved posts/comments, so right now Connect’s my favorite.
I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I’m happy with it.
Typing with connect, you can tell it’s beta quality but it’s pretty good so far
Any of those apps hides posts on scroll?
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 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.
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.
Please report back on this “real life” thing
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.
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.
I definitely added more instances on liftoff
Edit: profile > settings > accounts > bottom right corner has a button that allows you to add instances
It’s definitely not intuitive, I admit
Oh I found that but it doesn’t seem to work for feddit.nl, the final “add” button never lights up. I’ve tried writing it as “feddit.nl” or “https://feddit.nl”, same thing.
There’s going to be a Liftoff update released later today that fixes this. There was an issue for v0.18.1 that impacted ability to add instances that I just fixed. Your instance just happened to update a bit early!
Ah right, I did notice they updated to 0.18.1 sometime yesterday. The web UI for 0.18 is pretty cool btw. 😃
No worries, it’s to be expected for stuff to break right now, with all the client apps and instances developing like crazy. 😺
The pace is certainly quick at the moment lol
I have so many new icons on my home screen it’s starting to look like an iPhone
Four, no sorry five, no four… Wait 6 now
I’m just here to read what everyone else is using. I only know of jerboa
I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.
Have you tried WefWef?
I’m trying connect now. Jerboa keeps crashing like madness on me…
I started with Jerboa, but it wouldn’t let me off the local instance after initially being pretty good. Quite buggy for me. I switched to connect and I’m impressed so far.
The same thing happened to me, except I had two accounts and I’d see the local feed of the other account than the one I was logged into. I switched to summit, but it’s buggy, unintuitive, and it’s missing critical features like subscribing to a new community or accessing my profile settings.
Im trying several others while they work out the kinks in Jerboa (it doesnt work very welll if you use Lemmy.World as your instance), but it honestly feels the best out of all of them.
I’m coming from RiF is Fun, so it reminds me a lot of their layout.
Also coming from RIF and I thought the same thing. It’s buggy, but it has potential to be my go-to app if the wrinkles get smoothed out.
Summit, Jerboa, and Liftoff… I’m reading the replies to you to see what to try next!
Trying Summit for the first time, it’s really good! Multiple accounts, good UI reminding me of RiF and hasn’t crashed yet. I find Jerboa clunky.
Connect is my other fave.
I was using Jerboa first, but performance was terrible. I’ve now switched to Liftoff which seems way better.
