I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.

Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.

[–] felixculpa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm using Liftoff and I've liked it so far

[–] talou@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

jerboa most of the time : it's quite light (3,2Mo), it's on fdroid, it's pretty useable. But it's crashing a lot thèse days

[–] markkdark@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.

[–] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm using Jerboa

[–] slinky317@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If Sync for Lemmy releases with half of the features and polish of the Reddit version, it's going to default to be the app of choice.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I originally used Jerboa. It was okay, but not quite what I was looking for. I've tried Connect and Liftoff and like those better. I'm waiting for Sync, as that was my Reddit app of choice.

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At the moment I'm just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.

[–] Landi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thats what I did as well. Installed the PWA and placed it on my homescreen, where Sync for Reddit used to be. Soon, I will switch to Sync for Lemmy. ♥️

[–] GuitarGeek@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago

Only used connect so far so can't comment on the others. Feels nice and smooth, looks great and has some nice features. Liftoff seems to be the go to here, might check it out.

[–] Alfuh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

Connect for Lemmy

Pretty slick so far

[–] Intensiverock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Connect and liftoff

[–] erre@feddit.win 2 points 2 years ago

Jerboa and Connect. The former has been a bit unstable recently so Connect has been my go-to most recently.

[–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wefwef.app best app so far

After a quick search, I've decided to settle on Connect. The UI looks really familiar to Infinity, which is a giant plus for me.

I use Thunder.

[–] Seraphim@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I am switching between Liftoff and Connect while I wait for Sync for Lemmy.

[–] HerrX2000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I tried Jerboa and I couldn't login, now giving wefwef a try. Wefwef works but it's a PWA with iOS theme. I'd like to switch to App that is close to the original Android Reddit app.

[–] bluemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was using Jerboa. But after a lot of bugs in last few versions I currently trying other apps.

Currently alternating between Connect and Wefwef

[–] damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Jerboa won't even load for me. It just crashes and force quits.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Jerboa for now. The other ones I've tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.

[–] Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.

Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.

Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.

[–] small44@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Relaxxx@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

So far I've tried Jerboa, liftoff and wefwef. Being a RIF user for many years I feel Jerboa is closest to the UX but I am more comfortable with wefwef. Ask me again tomorrow as I will probably try other alternatives. This is like the good ole Linux distro hopping days when I tried over 30 distros before settling with KDE neon for the last 3 years.

[–] Oneeightnine@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

On Android I'm using 'Connect for Lemmy'

[–] Incendiary01@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago
[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Currently using a mix of Jerboa, Liftoff and web. Still waiting for the one app that can do it all.
