Waiting for Sync, if it has 25% of the user experience it had for reddit I'm a happy person
Jerboa should be the recommendation based on what you are looking for.
Open source, saw someone else mention they got it on whatever F-droid is, stable af (0 crashes on pixel5).
Bonuses, it has buttons, looks clean, runs smooth, swiping isn't obsfucating UX/UI as it does expected things like going back. (wefwef is painful if you can't get behind IOS UI chicanery)
F-Droid is like the play store, but with all FOSS apps. You have to side load it, and then it essentially side loads all the apps you want from it's store. Its pretty neat!
We know sync and boost will be paid I’m wondering will anyone pay for it when there are so many FOSS apps now!
I will, because none of the apps or web apps right now are optimized for tablets/foldables, so really looking forward to Sync supporting this at launch! (ljdawson already confirmed this btw).
Besides, Sync (for Reddit) had a lot of advanced features that set it apart from others, such as being able to save message drafts, built-in kamojis, advanced markdown formatting controls, post/content filters and so on, I reckon we'll get to see these in Sync for Lemmy as well, if not at launch then surely down the line.
Tried thunder. It was easy to use but currently using wefwef. It's not a native app rather webapp. It's following the apple's design ruleset, app looks like a native iOS app, but much better when it comes to performance and stability.
I'm trying app for a month, problems were mostly from instance network unstable and all, at some point only PWA was ok.
Now the latest Jerboa is stable and pretty nice, in list mode. Connect is updated every day with new features and bug fixes.
I'm waiting for Sync.
Using liftoff, seems ok so far. Was getting random crashes with connect, however, connect is pretty comfortable coming from RIF
I concur with all of the wefwef and Thunder app suggestions.
I've been using liftoff. No real complaints. It was having a bit of issues but I think it was mainly due to the influx of users.
I tried Connect but had issues getting certain instances to load. Honestly I've been accessing Lemmy through Chrome of late and it hasn't been too bad.
Very much looking forward Sync for Lemmy though.
I bounce between wefwef and Liftoff. When one has a hiccup, I just swap to the other.
