I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.
This is where I’m at, but Connect seems to freeze up on me a lot, so I’m thinking of getting a third lol
i switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can’t see any way to vote on comments.
I use wefwef.app now, first comment in this app. Looks good. Jerbora Was crashing on me all the time…
I use the one that I made! It was made rather early on before most of these apps became popular, but if it’s my own app, I can make it however I want…
Sounds interesting, any chance you want to share your work?
Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently.
Edit: does anyone know if any android app allows hiding posts? (locally on the device, i think the servers don’t support)
Using the same 3. Jerboa didn’t support feddit since 0.18 came out though so I couldn’t use it for a while. Liking both thunder and liftoff so far and development seems to progress quite fast. Not sure to which one ill stick with
4 here
Update, 6 now.
Please tell me which apps, I think I’ve become a Lemmy app hoarder…
Using Connect on Android and living it so far. Is there any way to change the default sort for the frontpage to “Hot” rather than “Active” though?
Is there a github repo for Connect? Or is it closed source?
wefwef & thunder here 🫡
It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.
Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:
A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!

Jerboa 0.0.37 is awesome. Huge Liftoff user past week :D
I strongly disagree.
0.0.37 is completely unusable for me. It crashes on startup. And the updates before are terrible when it comes to playing with anything but the bleeding edge of lemmy versions. Switching profiles is also shit.
None of them are very complete. The ones that are good are missing features and the ones that are complete aren’t good. I’m using wefwef.app for the most part. Just navigate there in your browser and bammo! Instant app.
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it’s slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you’re into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could’ve gotten something out there a week ago, but I’ve got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn’t even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It’s easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels “right”
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you’re on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It’s still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it’s moving fast
UX may be a taste thing but I cannot second the speed critic. On Firefox it’s sluggish as hell, yeah, but using it with Chrome wefwef feels like a native app.
I was using Jerboa first, but performance was terrible. I’ve now switched to Liftoff which seems way better.
Same, Thunder is mid with perfomane, how they can’t make the scrolling smooth is really weird.
Liftoff is the first really decent one for me
Any of them have multi account support?
Edit: liftoff, Connect for Lemmy and thunder do
Sounds about right!
I keep alternating between Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and the Lemmy ‘add to homescreen’ ‘app’
I’m finding that Memmy has all the features I need at the moment so I’m very happy with that. The developer leaves funny patch notes and updates it at least once a day with new bug fixes and features.
I can edit comments, post content, log in with my porn account 🥰, and reply to people and get inbox messages. Crazy how fast all these apps have popped up.
Wait, I can edit my comments? How?
Click the 3 dots on your comment and it will give you the option to edit.
All it gives me is Copy Link, Copy Text & Delete :(
Edit: Well, the feature only just got rolled out for me
4? Can you name them all please? I know jerboa and thunder.
Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff and Lemming. I don’t count the PWA (mobile site) as app but otherwise I switch between five apps
I’ve settled on thunder for now. Flawless since the latest update
I prefer Liftoff at the moment for the UI similarities with Infinity for Reddit.
I use jerboa but I’d try out any libre client. I’m not interested in proprietary apps.
Funny enough I never saw the need for dedicated website apps for e.g. reddit, but the fediverse is somewhat clumsy to use in a browser (I’m aware that browser extensions can help) so an app actually improves the experience a bit.
I’m using Jerboa, but it keeps crashing and on every statup complains that my instance is not compatible with the updated version. This drives me back to reddit and when it shuts off apps, I’ll probably go back to real life.
In the latest version of Jerboa I can’t change from All / Active anymore. 😊 Also I can’t figure out for the life of me how to make a top level comment, they’re doesn’t seem to be a button for it.
Thunder didn’t have sorting by top last time I checked. Liftoff can’t add other instances than the 3 it comes with.
So you don’t see a speech bubble in the row under the picture?
It’s just Jerboa. I use Connect for Lemmy and that problem doesn’t exist. I think the dev for Jerboa doesn’t want to spend time making it backwards compatible, but other clients are.
Thanks! Seems much better!
