Lemmy android client
Lemmy android client
What client, if any, do you guys use on your phone? I've been using Jerboa, but it has its problems so I'm wondering if there's a better option?
Connect is the best for me so far.
Connect has been great. jerboa was rough when I tried it weeks ago.
i'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy, but Connect has been pretty good so far
I liked connect, but it has been crashing since saturday for me. I'm using thunder right now and it works pretty well
Liftoff!
I second liftoff. Great app
I can't believe how good Liftoff is considering the speed of development
It's close to RIF for me.
Also, the release after next will have MOD features, so I'm happy with that.
Thunder.
Like most, it is on development but updates aren't too far apart.
I like Thunder best so far. I find Jerboa ugly and clunky, Voyager's interface is iOS focused and I don't think any other ones outside of LiftOff are open source - why use closed source services when good open source ones work just as well? I like LiftOff as well, I just like Thunder a bit more.
Technically Voyager has an appearance setting that you can change to Android.
In practice I can't tell the difference.
I alternate between Connect and Jerboa
Waiting for Sync, though
I'm currently using LiftOff. It's not perfect but it feels more stable than Jerboa to me.
Been usimg Lift off with minimal errors
Try out wefwef.app
It's an Apollo clone
wefwef.app has a great UI and is the best experience I've found. Very happy with it.
I love it enough that I'm planning to go home and tackle one or two of the feature requests after work today.
Jerboa gave me a bunch of issues but Connect seems to be working for me.
Yea i started with Jerboa but Connect seems better. I used RIF before and i would say both are similar but Connect just feels better and feels more stable.
I also started with Jerboa and use Connect at the moment. Jerboa had connection problems and constantly logged me out. Connect has a much better interface, but I liked the blurred nsfw preview from Jerboa more.
I'm hanging out for Sync for Lemmy now that the dev is pivoting from Reddit, will be a month away though so using via Chrome on mobile for now.
Same boat as me. Been a sync user for 9 years. Can't wait to have it back
Wefwef/Voyager. I didn't like the iOS look but the new update has an android appearance(beta).
Though I do really like Liftoff too. I float between both of those after trying what seems like 2.4 million apps.
I'm using Liftoff at the moment and I much prefer it to Jerboa so far. I used to use Boost for Reddit so I'm hoping that it's even better when it comes out, but I don't have any real complaints with Liftoff.
Connect user here. Development has been really fast and the dev is super friendly and good at taking suggestions on board quickly.
Any clones of RIF? I'm trying various clients but I used to use RIf for 6 years and really like it.
There's a list of Android clients here: https://lemmy.nz/post/8104
Download some and see if any are similar!
I'm trying a bunch and currently thinking Liftoff feels best... I'm definitely hoping for a 'Lemmy is Fun' at some point, nothing else feels right after so long on RiF
Using Liftoff myself and have settled on it after trying a few. Waiting for Sync for Lemmy to drop given the awesome Sync for Reddit app.
Voyager (formerly known as wef wef) web app
I lost all interest in wefwef when they changed the name. Voyager is so generic...
That seems like an odd reason, but you are welcome to your opinion. I will say it still seems like the best app feature wise irrelevant of the name.

Have tried Jerboa, Connect and now on wefwef, which so far is definitely the best
Jerboa, but I honestly think the problems are server-side.
Most of them are at this point.
I'm using Connect. It reminds me a bit of Infinity for Reddit.
Jerboa for me. All the apps have errors but Jerboa has been consistently the best for me. A lot of the errors are server side I believe.
I started on Jerboa and now giving Connect a go
I was using boost for Reddit, they have announced that they are porting it to Lemmy....so I'll stick with Jerboa until Boost is released.
I've used a few so far including Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect and Thunder and i have to admit that all are decent clients and I guess its somewhat down to personal preference, but I prefer Connect or Thunder.
