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

    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.

      The latest update broke Jerboa for me so I’ve just jumped onto Connect and I’ve got to say I like it! Only complaint is there is no clear divider between posts so visually is a bit blurry but I can live with that.

      Edit; turns out the latest version of connect fixes my complaint! Very happy

      Right?? if the dev keeps going as strong as it’s been so far I can see Connect being a competent option even after Sync Launches.

      Connect here too. Jerboa kept crashing on me. When it did load it couldn’t connect. When it could connect it wouldn’t load in icons and left some posts blank.

      I’m testing connect right now and so far it works very well. Unfortunately Jerboa crashed for me all the time since the last update. I’m still hoping for a bacon reader version for Lemmy.

      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.

      Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it’s just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I’m viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.

        Apparently my desired feature is already present. From the Home tab the Subscribed/Local/All button expands to let you pick which logged in account to show.

    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.

    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.

      Same. I’ve installed a few apps to keep an eye on their development, but web is still my favourite for now. Some of the apps have gestures and easily collapsible threads, but UIs aren’t completely polished yet.

        Try wefwef it’s a web app with gesture support. Seems to be one of the more featured GUIs so far.

    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.

    Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released

    Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
