RIF refugee also now using Connect for Lemmy. It's been a fairly easy transition. I like the swipe guestures. Hopefully the community will grow because FUCK SPEZ.
Agreed. I've only had a quick look round but I've felt most at home and confident that I'll be happy with Lemmy using Connect. Enough of the settings are the same. I there were settings to get the posts in list view a bit tighter I'd be happier.
Also, did it take anyone else a while to figure out that you can long press on comments to hide them?
After using Jerboa (cannot recommend - too buggy, too crashy, and didn't work properly with most servers after an update), I switched to Connect for Lemmy and was happy with it.
I like wefwef. It feels familiar, but there's nuances. It's a bit of struggle to transition to this new interface. Reply and upvote and downvote are behind a menu, not right at the bottom. Clicking the message collapses it instead of opening options. But it's fine, I like it so far.
I'm loving Wefwef so far. It doesn't have much in terms of customization, but it's much more polished than any of the other apps I've tried. https://wefwef.app
Definitely holding out for Sync and Boost though, I have a feeling one of those two is going to be what I settle on long-term.
Currently I’ve landed on it too. I have wefef and mlem installed too, but while the former looks amazing, it’s janky to use and doesn’t feel native, and while the latter is extremely smooth to use, and has my exact preference for the sliding actions for posts (none of these apps currently support customization much further than the very basics of theme and filters etc.), it looks so rough, my aesthetically oriented brain just doesn’t feel comfortable using it.
Memmy on the other hand, is like the middle ground between the two, BUT also really feels the most polished. I don’t know the behind the scenes or whatever, so not exactly sure if it is the most polished of the three, but it sure looks and feels that way.
But all of these are pretty rough, still, which is to be expected.
I really think Memmy might be my next Apollo. The only thing I really miss is the sliding customization, since I keep accidentally initiating writing a comment when I instinctively want to save something.
I am also using Liftoff but not loving it. I started with Jerboa and it was great, but something I don't understand about different version or updates or something means it does not work with Lemmy.world right now. I am hoping it gets sorted soon.
It seems like it is going to be at least a few weeks before the dust settles and and everything stabilizes after the mass migration. Even still, I am loving it here and am excited for a truly uncommodifiable platform for the free exchange of knowledge. At least I think that is what is going on; I am honestly just bumbling my way around the fediverse atm.
Jerboa will be fixed soon, the devs said to use something else until they can get it working with the latest update. it wont let anyone log in until then.
I am using Connect for Lemmy, so far, I like it, but it's the first app I've tried, haha.
I used RIF for at least 10 years. Geez, didn't realize it had been that long...
Edit: ok, I'm using Liftoff now, I love it so far!
The one thing I don't love about Thunder is how the titles are below the images. It seems like a minor thing, but I'm so used to reading the title before looking at the content, it makes my brain gears clash.
It is but google demands I send them a photocopy of my drivers licence in order to install it for some insane reason, never seen this before so maybe google themselves are starting to feel the heat of this 🤔
I like Jerboa but I can't really use it right now since my instance is Lemmy.world and it isn't the right version for that app. I've tried Thunder, Liftoff and wefwef. They all have their plusses and minuses so try them out and see what experience is best for you.
Haven't seen jerboa yet but I'm looking at liftoff and connect. It's only been 10m but liftoff is winning solely because the dark mode is similar to rif's. I cannot stand black dark mode lol
