I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

I mostly navigate it from my laptop, but in the cases where I use my phone, Jerboa is still my go-to

Buggy at times, but I like the UI. Definitely open to new apps though. Connect didn't feel like my type, but I might try out

Boost once it's done, since a friend of mine recommended it for Reddit.

There isn't much choice - F-Droid only contains Jerboa (not counting abandoned and broken Lemmur).

Yeah I'm not about to switch to the fediverse and not use fully open source apps. I install almost nothing from the Google play store. There's no need to use Google play services to make a lemmy app.

Liftoff is open source. You can grab an APK right from GitHub for build it yourself.

WefWef works great as a web app. Just open wefwef.app in your browser and click install in browser context menu.

Trying out Connect after using Liftoff for a while. The experience is well so far!

Wefwef while waiting for sync and boost; might actually keep using wefwef though if it keeps improving at this rate. Let's see.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Memmy, and occasionally WefWef if I need to check on any odd behavior in Memmy.

If both are acting odd I web version it to confirm, then file a report.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

I am trying memmy and wefwef; so far I prefer wefwef as I find the memmy light theme to be too light - fonts are too washed out. Don’t like dark themes at all. I wish wefwef would show the current date and time though.

I have lurked on Reddit for many years, using Apollo, but never had an account. It seems that memmy does not let you browse communities without creating an account, so here I am. What I have seen so far of lemmy, it appears a lot friendlier than Reddit. This may induce me to actually contribute in future.

Connect gang here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I really like liftoff and alexandrite.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Chrome. Waiting for Boost for lemmy to be released.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Thunder on Android

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Using the website as PWA right now, the layout works well for me and there's no bugs to speak of

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Happy testing both liftoff and connect

Using Jerboa right now. It's mostly good. I'm just unsure if the search function is returning all communities.. but maybe that's not possible? Still learning the details of the fediverse lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Any love for Thunder here?

I keep jumping between wefwef and liftoff.

With time they are all going to improve and have the things we all want, then I guess it will just be down to taste

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Currently liftoff, though I still have jerboa installed for some things.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Jerboa was recommended first and it's available on fdroid, haven't had the need to switch from it yet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Memmy (iOS) reminds me of Apollo, feel right at home. I don't even miss Reddit at this point.

I’m using Mlem and I like it so far

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I mostly use Connect and sometimes wefwef too. I tried Jerboa but it's very laggy on my phone. And I'm waiting for Sync.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Mostly Jerboa, but also Thunder and LiftOff. All of them function nicely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I use connect for lemmy on android

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Liftoff is great so far. Used Jebora, but it was having some connectivity issues and the comment structure was a little hard to differentiate. Liftoff is really nice and notifies you when you lose connection to the server. Never had an iPhone so didn't use apollo unfortunately because I heard great things. I did hear that the Boost team are releasing a new app soon which boost was IMO the best one I ever used

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

@DuskLoaf Just started using Ice Cubes for Mastodon (for this reply) but also using WefWef and Mlem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

All of them rig now.

So far really liking wefwef, but connect and liftoff are really good as well.

The app ecosystem will be changing a lot in the next couple months so I will keep testing whatever keeps coming out.
