Which android Lemmy app is best optimized? (lemmy.world)

I have a entry level android phone from last year but still seem to have a hard time running lemmy apps. The ones I've tried will crash a few pages in and can't keep my position cached when it's not open. I don't have these problems on Relay and the phone isn't from 2015 so shouldn't have issues running a simple web client. Appreciate any suggestions from other potato posters.

Have you tried Voyager? I'm on a four year old device and it's extremely smooth. It's noticeably better than Jerboa.

I was hoping for an app but I might do that until they mature a little bit.

If you install it as a PWA then it acts like an app.

What have you tried so far?

[โ€“] ilo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've tried, connect, Jerboa, thunder, lift off, and summit. They all do it, but I feel like connect gets the furthest down the feed, but no more than a few minutes with of browsing.

Try Voyager (formerly known as wefwef). I switch between all the Android apps you listed, but I always end up going back to Voyager. IMO very stable and I encounter less bugs than the other ones.

Voyager seems to work! Hasn't crashed yet, and a lot smoother than the apps. Thanks everyone!

Awesome ๐Ÿ‘

As this is a great question, this is the lemmy.world support forum. There are other communities to ask such questions.

Here you find a overview ot some third party Lemmy apps:

I will close this topic now.

I use Connect on my pixel 6 pro. It eats up a ton of storage, I'm guessing for caching. So I dunno that I would recommend it if you're storage poor.

Edit: I actually double checked myself and this doesn't seem to be an issue since I last reset the app. Previously it was hitting 4gb of storage. Now it's sitting at 150mb. So a big improvement.

I've only just started but using Jerboa and it seems pretty decent. I used boost for reddit and am signed up to be notified of their Lemmy app as I was a big fan of that app but this will probably do until then.

I'm using Thunder, and I love it

[โ€“] ilo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thunder is my favorite so far! It's also relatively new so hopefully it starts working better for me.
