Flexing on people

Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?
Wink, wink!
Cheers brother! Nice to see you around here.

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.

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.
Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
I'm using liftoff until sync is released
Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!
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.

Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

Liftoff seems decent
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
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.
Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
I might be just a tiny bit biased but it's Summit for Lemmy
How do you sub/unsub community in summit?
Edit: found it, swipe right

Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
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.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
wefwef is surprisingly good
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.

I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync
Connect for Lemmy is pretty Sync like. Give it a try!

Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
Thunder is pretty amazing right now.
Agreed, the update from yesterday really made it daily driver material!
I just wish these clients would take some cues from the way Relay does its "List" view. Thunder's list view is getting there, but it's still way too crowded. Connect's is worse, it's just evenly spaced details for each post, which then blends into the space between each post.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
wefwef.app until Sync for Lemmy is out
Jerboa, but can't wait for Sync to be released. If it's anything like the Reddit app, it'll be amazing (obviously after many iterations and testing etc).
Kbin so currently just using hermit to make the web app until Artemis comes out
I'm moving between Connect, Jerboa, Thunder at the moment, they all have their positives and I can't pick just one yet.
I'm using Jerboa
Thunder
