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...

4? Can you name them all please? I know jerboa and thunder.
I know Connect and lemmur. So far, the one I like best is Connect. I'm on Android.

Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff and Lemming. I don't count the PWA (mobile site) as app but otherwise I switch between five apps
I have so many new icons on my home screen it's starting to look like an iPhone
I'll keep downloading new ones until i find one that feels like home. Still waiting for infinity to make a Lemmy app.

I have been using memmy for iOS and it’s been great. Same feeling as Apollo!

Godsend when running as a web app, the most Apollo one of them all.

Wefwef and jerboa for now
I'm just using jerboa - seems fine?
I mostly interact from my desktop though so
On iOS I have Liftoff, Mlem, and Memmy. While they all work well, Memmy is easily my favorite. It’s stable and fast, has several color themes already, and the developer literally updates it multiple times per day. It already feels like a complete app.
I've only used Jerboa, now I think I need to try Connect/Liftoff
Liftoff is great, just migrated from Jerboa
I installed liftoff, liking it at the moment!

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

Me too. I have been using Jerboa, Liftoff, summit and connect. Thunder won't load for me,so, I've stopped trying to get that to work. All the others work to my satisfaction. I'm leaning on Connect's side a little bit more than others because I like its UI better.
