Flexing on people
Wait... Is this posted from Sync for lemmy? 😍😍😍 I can't wait!
wow what a flex 😂
That was mean... And awesome!
Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?
Wink, wink!
Cheers brother! Nice to see you around here.
I was a little bit confused until I saw your name

Connect for Lemmy.
It's being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It's come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It's crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn't handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.

Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!
Liftoff is still 'early access' and yet... so polished. It immediately became my go-to.
I can't believe that just a couple of weeks ago, we had a single (Android) solution. Suddenly, it's hard to keep track of all the clients...
I literally have 5 installed. Exciting times. The birth of a social network created by users for users.

Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
- Jerboa is the most complete, but it's not very good... It's slow and the UI is very bland.
- Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It's still pretty buggy though.
- Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there's some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
I'm using liftoff until sync is released
Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.
I am unable to find it in the playstore. Could you link to it? There are too many apps called "LiftOff" haha
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
Liftoff seems decent
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren't good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn't quite tic all the boxes, it's Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it's at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
wefwef is surprisingly good
I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I'm using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync
Connect for Lemmy is pretty Sync like. Give it a try!

Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
I use Thunder.
Thunder is pretty amazing right now.
Agreed, the update from yesterday really made it daily driver material!

I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!
I'm so tired of that, Especially when a site says to use their app and won't let you keep browsing the site because the popup is in the way.. Why even have the website anymore.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!
Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.

I am using liftoff and wefwef
Thunder
Memmy on iOS is my favourite.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
