Don't forget Connect
The developer has been incredibly responsive to community feedback and there have been almost daily updates.
Connect is ridiculously stable and feature-complete for how new it is. Definitely deserves to be mentioned.
Yep, I've been using it for about a week and it's the better app for Android. Kudos for Connect.
Am I the only one that's been having issues? I keep getting errors or comments not loading. I tried liftoff a bit ago and haven't had any issues on it so far
Yup. Using connect right now. It's really a well made app
Posting from connect. Haven't been back to jerboa in a month or so but at that point connect was winning on features/bugs/the ability to create an account.
We just like rockets, okay?
No but honestly, if Boost is going to be anything like it was then it's just a no brainer. He had by far the most customizable 3rd party app.
He was also always very responsive, I have had a few conversations with him over the years and he's added features and fixed bugs on different devices I was using at so I'm glad he's going to be continuing. My main hope is that the kbin API comes out so he can add support for it. I love Firefox but I miss my AMOLED themes with boost.
Oh man, and if there's per instance themeing!
Currently using liftoff but I am also waiting for the boost release. It was the only app I have used for reddit in the last 5 years. Looked really nice and I never found any issues outside maybe 1 outage which I think was caused by reddit.
There is a pre registration for Boost for Lemmy
Liftoff is quite good - I don't think I'll move off of it. Jerboa is also great, but it currently has an issue while typing that makes commenting way too much effort.
I like Liftoff enough that I've stopped looking at every new thing that is coming out.
I just need account and subscription management handled better in Liftoff. I appreciate being able to toggle between subscriptions on different instances, but I'd like it to toggle the active user over to the account associated with the selected instance/subscriptions. Too easy to cross contaminate.
Makes me sad I moved to iOS late last year, but very happy to know Sync is coming to Lemmy!
Get Memmy
Been using it on TestFlight since I moved over. Fantastic app so far!
Memmy is good. Very good and it gets updates almost every day it seems.
I'm using Jerboa now, but waiting for Boost.
I have tried them all, I think, and found things to be frustrating (though certainly understanding the rapid development phase we're in).
I was using Connect and liked it, but struggled to search for Communities vs within Communities when I wanted one or the other.
Many other apps did a poor job (in my opinion) of visually presenting data.
Some it was just weird navigation behavior that felt completely unintuitive.
Anyway, they all had pros and cons and I'm sure will get better and better.
For now, Jerboa seems like the best "waiting room" app for me.
Currently using Thunder and love it
Coming from RIF, I feel pretty much at home in Liftoff.
Was using Boost for Reddit, but been pleasantly surprised by Jerboa. Personally, like the app 👍
Excited for Sync and Boost, but damn, Thunder looks even more interesting... It's actually the smoothest Flutter app I've used so far
Still on Jerboa. It does the things I need it to do.
now using Connect and it really is a great app! Some quirks here and there but not too shabby.
It should be noted that wefwef is relaunching and putting bug fixes into its new incarnation as Voyager.
Sync cannot come to Lemmy fast enough, sorry. Been using it for enough years that I will automatically trust it over everything else and I'm so used to it feature-wise that it's not even worth giving other apps a shot when I know it's in the pipeline.
Tried a bunch of apps and settled on Sync and ended up using it for years. Really solid app and agree about trusting it. I'm on kbin now but that may change once it's released.
Don't play with my feelings, I thought that they were already released.
I've been using sync for years but I have missed Apollo. It'll be tough.
What are you using now? I never used Apollo but I've been using wefwef and from what I understand it's practically a clone of Apollo.
It really is almost exactly the same. I've been using a combo of wefwef and memmy
I am using Connect right now. Quite Buggy but the devs are very quick to respond and they started spamming bug fixes after fixes over the past week.
Writing this from Memmy right now. Can't recommend it enough.
Looking forward to Sync. Any of these apps have a tablet interface yet? I tried few of them and they didn't have a tablet UI.
Yeah, that's the #1 reason I'm excited about Sync for Lemmy. I miss the two pane layout.
Have you tried wefwef?
I did, it does not have a tablet UI either. I found the iOS like UI jarring to use loll. It's a well made app but after using Sync for a decade+ any other app feels underwhelming.
Will any of these allow me to block entire instances (ex. Block the nswf instance from the “All” feed)?
Connect just added that (today, iirc).
(settings -> block settings)
Great!
Waiting for boost for lemmy, in the mean time I use wefwef pwa
Might have to try Connect. I started with Liftoff and it's really nice. I even tried just saving the Lemm.ee site to my homepage since the mobile version is really good. Currently on Jerboa and loving it. All the 3rd party choices already available is actually really surprising. Still can't wait for Boost though!
Jeroba has a purple theme so until one comes out that allows me to filter out entire words and phrases I'll stay on it
are you from the future? I'll be there when they come out lol
Don't forget slide
I never used Sync before. One of the things i liked about Relay is it had all the ways of handling post. Opening videos in overlay windows and such. Does sync behave like that?
Mentioned it in a sub-comment, but I'm liking Summit the most, having tried Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff and Thunder beforehand
Meanwhile I'm here waiting impatiently for boost for lemmy
I've never used sync or boost so I'm good sticking with Thunder because it's pretty much exactly what I need.
Let's show some love for summit. Can also enable dynamic theming color to match your android system color scheme.
Sleeping on Memmy? It’s already near perfect.
Memmy is iOS and only. This is an Android post.
i wouldn’t exactly say perfect, but it’s better than we feed so far in my opinion
What about Memmy?
Memmy hasn't been released for Android yet, so no one here would think of Memmy
