I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

I was using Jerboa. But after a lot of bugs in last few versions I currently trying other apps.

Currently alternating between Connect and Wefwef

Jerboa won't even load for me. It just crashes and force quits.

[–] hydroel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don't always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can't say it's pretty.

So far, I really like Thunder's looks, interface and UX. It's not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it's also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they're not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I've been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.

Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don't like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.

After a quick search, I've decided to settle on Connect. The UI looks really familiar to Infinity, which is a giant plus for me.

on connect after the jerboa problems, taking a look at wefwef too, but it loads in my browser... haven't dug into the UI much, but it seems decent.

[–] s0phia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!

[–] Crackerjack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same here, loved Boost

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa for now. The other ones I've tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.

[–] planforrain@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I am using jerboa but really miss redreader, the creator floated making it support lemmy and I am excited for that possibility but am sticking with jerboa for now.

[–] IoSapsai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can't seem to login with jerboa because "my server version is too low"...

[–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Wefwef.app best app so far

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Connect for Lemmy

Pretty slick so far

[–] Tamhenk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.

Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.

[–] Promessa1125@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Connect for Lemmy at the moment, as it has a very similar interface to sync, but I've signed up to be notified when Sync for Lemmy drops. Sync had everything I wanted for my Reddit app, and I'm hoping for a similar interface for Lemmy when it arrives.

[–] Marble_turret@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wefwef is good, but Sync is better imo

Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

[–] ganksy@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the conflict with Jerboa and .world instance? I haven't had any problems on Jerboa.

I use Liftoff and also test Thunder. Liftoff has a complete search function and Thunder a very pleasant UI.

Jerboa doesn't work with my instance at the moment, as it still runs on version 0.17.4.
