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

Wef wef is ok for now

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

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

Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^

On Android I'm using 'Connect for Lemmy'

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don't always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can't say it's pretty.

So far, I really like Thunder's looks, interface and UX. It's not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it's also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they're not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I've been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.

Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don't like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.

I'm moving between Connect, Jerboa, Thunder at the moment, they all have their positives and I can't pick just one yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Connect for Lemmy

Pretty slick so far

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

I'm using Liftoff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

Wefwef is good, but Sync is better imo

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

on connect after the jerboa problems, taking a look at wefwef too, but it loads in my browser... haven't dug into the UI much, but it seems decent.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the conflict with Jerboa and .world instance? I haven't had any problems on Jerboa.
