Sync for Lemmy is comin'
Thunder is my upcomer choice and i use both it and jerboa as needed. Omcecthunder gets a thing for telling me what posts i have read at a glance i will most likely use thunder exclusively. Jerboa is good, but the thunder dev has really worked on screen reader accessibility and it shows. He has fixed quite a few of my accessibility bug reports already and the app is top notch
Thunder is good, extremely work in progress but what's there is really confidence inspiring for the its future.
Thunder is spectacular and it's still in alpha! Dev seems super nice. I'm still mostly using Jerboa, but Thunder will likely be my daily driver once it hits beta :) it's just so slick!
Memmy is already great and there are multiple updates each day!
I've, also, heard that the lead dev of Mlem handed the code over to someone else and left the project....Seems to be in limbo right now.
Just switched from Jerboa to Connect on Android.
I actually found connect to be a little more buggy than Jerboa
I've tried Connect and Jerboa for Android. Out of the two I prefer Jerboa.
Switched from Jerboa to Liftoff and I'm very happy with Liftoff so far. Liftoff feels very similar to the Reddit client Infinity for me. Only thing I don't like is the color scheme. It's confusing to make buttons you can click grey...
My main issue with Liftoff is that I can't save images. That's a huge deal breaker for me
Its not out yet, but the Sync for Reddit dev is making Sync For Lemmy, so that should be worth checking out in the future.
There was this thread 3 days ago on !foss@beehaw.org : https://beehaw.org/post/697402
Nice! Must have missed that one.
https://wefwef.app is actually insane even though it's a PWA. It's really really good
Web based PWAs should not be underestimated in this space. Mastodon has a similarly awesome PWA in elk.
Because of the tech involved they seem to be able to develop faster while giving you pretty good performance.
As lemmy has a hard separation between its backend and front end, it’s be cool to see alterntive front ends become more integrated with the mainline deployment. That is, it’d be nice if in settings I could select from a range of front ends, even ones that are acknowledged as experimental third party front ends without any guarantees.
On Android I'm liking Thunder and Connect
I just use the kbin mobile site as a PWA, works great.
Is there collapsible comments yet? There wasn't when I tried (or I couldn't find it) and that's a deal breaker for me.
Not officially yet, I use this script to add the functionality: https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/27201/kbin-enhancement-script-QOL-updates-for-the-kbin-UI
Your relative link needs to be changed from /c/ to /m/
Oh, I wasn't aware. Coming from lemmy, the correct relative link to a kbin instance would be /m/. But since the community lives in a lemmy instance, it is /c/. Apparently coming from kbin you need /m/ in both cases. I added a link for both now, thanks.
I was using Jerboa. But I switched to Summit just today. It's a lot sleeker. It feels closer to RIF. But it doesn't show a way to save posts/comments.
Also, neither one has a way to search for keywords.
Jerboa actually got another update today which resolved the bug issues I had with the previous update.
I tried for way too long tonight to try and build memmy for Android to check it out. Couldn't get it to run unfortunately. I'll probably wait until there is a prebuilt apk to download
No app has come close to the lemmy-ui PWA to be honest in terms of stability and featureset at the moment.
Memmy is incredible and makes using lemmy easy and fun. Cant see myself using any other app going forward. Its perfect.
Connect for Lemmy works well for me where Jerboa returns a server error
Jerboa made the minimum supportes instance version 0.18, unfortunately the largest instances are still on 0.17 due to captcha reasons.
Ahh, well that explains it...many thanks for the info
No problem, hopefully 0.18.1 comes out soon as most the instances that haven't upgraded to 0.18 are saying they'll update to that version when it drops.
My absolute favorite is https://wefwef.app/ . It’s a simple PWA and it feels just as good as a full app and has a better feature set than other clients for iOS.
It’s almost bizarre to me how fully featured and polished wefwef.app is. Really amazing.
Yeah this one is surprisingly good. ~~My only issue, which is a deal breaker, is that I can’t swipe from left edge to right to go back to the posts feed after clicking on a specific post. The back button is at the furthest possible placement from my thumb, so it’s just not that useable.~~
Guess it was my phone getting buggy at the time. This functions normal :)
Just loaded the testflight of Memmy (thanks to your post) and man, loving it so much so far. It perfectly compliments the site, at least for basic browsing (I haven't tried posting anything other than comments).
Never mind it’s back I guess
I'm currently using Liftoff and it is soo much better than Jerboa. It lacks a few features still but jerboa was wayy to buggy for me to use
Mlem has been discontinued
It hasn’t. The original author decided to back away from the project, and the remaining team members are keeping it going. The original TestFlight got closed, but there’s a new one up now, and changes are progressing.
The webapp on android has been the best for me.
