Jerboa for now just waiting for boost to release on lemmy and then i will move.
Same here, I miss Boost very much
I started with Jerboa but moved to Connect. Not as many issues as far as I can tell from the few days I've used both.
Saw your comment and moved from Jerboa to Connect. Loading is so much faster, but I do miss the body text preview square Jerboa has. I can only preview it on Connect using fullwidth I think, which takes up too much real estate per post.
Overall, still a huge improvement.
wefwef.app
Connect has been awesome for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Me: "I wonder if this Connect could be better than what I'm using"
Also me: Already using Connect
Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I've found for Android at the moment, loving it here too
And the dev is rolling out features at a crazy pace. It feels like everytime I open the app it's gotten significantly better
My only complaint with Connect is that I'm using the dark theme, and so having a big white "refreshed" bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa's cute spinny wheel better.
But, if that's my biggest complaint ¯(ツ)/¯
takes notes
Jerboa for me, too. Mostly because it was the first thing that came up on the app store for me, and there isn't a Lemmy is Fun (...yet?). So I tried Jerboa and it's perfectly capable.
Wefwef. It's incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I'm just now trying it out and it feels very polished.
Just: Firefox.
wefwef and Liftoff until Sync arrives.
Happy testing both liftoff and connect
Using Connect too, surprised I don't hear more about it. It's not perfect, but it's pretty solid
Liftoff. I also tried Jerboa and Connect, but Liftoff just has the best look and feel. Having said that, as an old Boost for Reddit user I'll be switching to Boost for Lemmy as soon as it releases.
I use liftoff and it is a good enough experience. It keeps getting more polished which is nice.
Trying out Connect after using Liftoff for a while. The experience is well so far!
I really like Jerboa, has everything I need and Jeboas are so cute!
Memmy for iOS
https://wefwef.app on iOS.
It's nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I've got to be honest, I didn't think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don't feel like I'm missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!
Just waiting patiently for boost.
Jerboa for the most part. Allows me a couple of accounts and lets me keep them separate.
Liftoff is pretty decent too, except the both accounts sort of merge and show up in a single feed.
Really cannot wait for Boost. Seriously, so psyched!
In liftoff, you can tap the title in the middle and select the instance you want to see
I'm aware, but it is not working for me, at least the communities show up in either profile.
Wefwef as it it similar to apollo
WebApps which is a sandboxed browser for progressive web apps
Wefwef right now. I have been pretty pleased with it. Not sure who the the developer it but damn they’ve been rolling out updates daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. I don’t think the person is sleeping at this point.
It’s open source and there’s a ton of open PRs. Lots of people want Apollo back.
Same. I like it (and miss Apollo). But I also like the web interface too.
Liftoff.
Liftoff and Thunder are my two favorites until Boost for Lemmy comes out.
I've tried: Connect, Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Summit, and Wefwef.
For now, I've settled on Liftoff, though I do keep Jerboa installed as well.
Edit: ah, you're on iOS. In which case, I got nuttin.
Jerboa and connect.
I like both and switch back and forth.
Thunder on Android
Mlem. Early but good :D
Here are the apps I've used for Lemmy on Android!
Connect
Connect for lemmy has a pretty nice clean look that can be customized to look a lot like RIF. Been enjoying it so far.
I use connect for lemmy on android
I really like liftoff and alexandrite.
I'm on iOS and I'm using Mlem. It seems to be changing and shifting rapidly. Already changed noticeably 3 or so times within three to five weeks. Imagine if Reddit app fixed three to five of the bugs that most annoyed me that quickly...
I'm on iOS. I've tried Liftoff!, Mlem and Thunder. So far I like Mlem the most.
I have never used Boost for Reddit, but I'm still excited to see what Boost for Lemmy will be like.
If you liked Apollo, try wefwef.app
It’s a PWA but works extraordinarily well
Thanks, I'll check it out.
I think it's okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I'm on Jerboa because it's the best native app I've found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I'm keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.
Liftoff
Yeah so far I've been pretty happy with it. It's got a good UI
Loving it as well, especially the appearance options.
Jerboa has been wonderful lately.
It could use some UI/UX work though. For example, if I want to go to a comment I replied to from my profile, rif had a handy button to show my comment with context. On Jerboa I need to go to my comment with a couple unintuitive taps, then the context of that comment with another button that doesn't really feel like it's in the right place.
I'll give it time to develop though
Memmy, Mlem, wefwef are all inspired by Apollo. All are good. Liftoff! is another one I am testing, not crazy about the design but it’s still decent.
None have been published to the App Store yet, right? All just in test flight I believe. Just trying to confirm that because I can’t find them the normal way.
Memmy is now in the App Store but you’re probably better off signing up through test flight so you can get the almost daily updates.
I'd like to know what I am doing wrong when trying to log-in. I can't be the only person having issues.
I have this account (Hazdaz) and I've tried logging into wefwef, Connect and Jerboa. On ALL three apps on my Samsung S21FE I get an error message that my credentials/password isn't correct. I've used my PC and reset the password. Changed at least 2 times now and tried again logging into these 3 Android apps and the error is the same. What can I possibly be doing wrong? The only way I can access Lemmy is on a computer. I've asked about this a few days ago and some helpful people replied but nothing they suggested worked.
How can this be so difficult?
When it asks for username type email instead the username does not seem to be valid when signing in I have found.
I have tried username, I have tried email. I have tried all lowercase username. I have tried all uppercase username.
I have tried every imaginable combination and I feel I am missing something obvious. Do I have to enable access from my desktop to allow a mobile app to also log in? Makes no sense, but I'm running out of possible issues.
might be wrong instance? nail down the instance/capitalization of the account. change password to no special characters.. verify on desktop first.
I JUST changed my password again. No special characters. Logged off my desktop, logged back in. No issues. Then tried it with Jerboa and no luck. I don't know what I can possibly be doing wrong.
Make sure you are selecting the instance holding your account. Eg: if you signed up on "lemmy.world", then in your mobile app > in the log in page select "lemmy.world" then enter your creds and log in.
Here is a screenshot from "jerboa"
I have gone to that screen a million times now. I have tried lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (even though I am pretty sure it is .world). I have used "Hazdaz" "hazdaz" and "HAZDAZ" and I've triple checked my password. I've done this over and over and I always get "incorrect log-in" or something like that.
I don't know what else to do.
Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.
Have to agree with this guy.
I recently swapped from IPhone to Android and thought I'd lost the slickness of Apollo forever.
Then Wefwef came along. It's nowhere near as smooth as the original Apollo app (at least via Android's Firefox browser), but it's got all the same vibes and makes me feel like I'm back in that same experience again.
Not gonna lie, I don't know what kind of dark magic wefwef pulled through, but it is the first web app I actually find as performant a a native app. It may not be for me (not a big fan of iphone aesthetics), but it is wonderful.
This has been asked dozens of times in the past days and weeks. I wish people would use the search function.
Long term I hope we move a part of this to the wiki. https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F
To still provide something helpful for the current thread: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
While I agree I think the answer changes weekly :)
Memmy. It even had a full release on the App store a couple of hours ago, so no need for testflight anymore. There are updates almost daily and it gets better and better.
Oh that’s great to hear, I was used to refreshing TestFlight and seeing what had been changed
Memmy (iOS) reminds me of Apollo, feel right at home. I don't even miss Reddit at this point.
Now that the app is working a much better, I’m excited to see what further development will look like.
The .world server improvements have helped a ton
I have Memmy, Liftoff, Mlem and wefwef. Like the interfaces of Mlem and wefwef the best so far. One app doesn’t have it all yet and if there’s a hang up with one I can try another!
I’m giving wefwef a go since there seems to be more notification options, messages and such available than that of memmy
Wefwef but I'll be using sync once it's available
