I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that's open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

I've been bouncing between Liftoff and Connect. I loved Sync for Reddit so I'll be using that when it comes out, though I also tried and liked Boost, Joey, and Infinity for Reddit.

I tried Jerboa but it was missing quite a few features at the time, but it's also really new so that wasn't a problem.

I do spend most of my time on Kbin so I just use the mobile web interface.

Wefwef is my top choice right now and Connect is my second favorite.

[-] punkid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Wefwef looks too iOS for my Material You Android

[-] boo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I do agree that it feels a little out of place on Android, but currently I have been using it because it still feels polished and I haven't had many bugs with it. Lemmy clients in general are in their early days and many are quite rough around the edges. I've had a lot of bugs with most of them.

Connect for Lemmy has a Material You style to it and feels like at home on Android. It uses your current Material color scheme and feels a bit similar to Sync for Reddit.

Wefwef has a web based app that works better than a lot of clients I tried on android.

[-] donut4ever@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I use these 5. I like them all, but each has its own flaws and missing features. So, I use them in tandem until they all mature and then I'll pick the best one

I've been using a few, but so far I've found Connect to be the smoothest and more to my liking. I was a long time Sync user, so I'll be picking that up once it eventually launches.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is working waaaaaay better than the previous versions. It is at last quite stable as of v39.

[-] steve@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

I don't mind jerboa tbh but I'm kind of waiting to see if sync for reddit becomes a thing.

Jerboa is my favourite, has been really smooth for me + the material you design makes it look so good!

[-] LouLimes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I tried several and found wefwef to be there best

[-] GojuRyu@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I have tried a lot, the three min ones I keep coming back to are jerboa, connect and liftoff. They all have pros and cons and I like each and alternate between them. Liftoff is a continuation of lemur by the way. Lemur was abandoned but someone else picked it up and develop it further, providing frequent updates.

[-] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm using jerboa right now. Got it from fdroid and it works really well!

[-] Oderus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Summit for Lemmy. Really solid app.

Liftoff but it doesn't let you see what comment or post someone replied to in your inbox. I'd say Jerboa is better for posting and stuff and Liftoff is better for browsing.

As a former RIF user, I am thoroughly enjoying liftoff.

[-] AshTheGoblin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Seconding this

[-] misterzero@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I've been using Jerboa and Liftoff, as the combination of both has what I'm looking for (Liftoff has an option to see feeds from other instances without having to log in), but most of the time I use Jerboa

[-] NiftyBeaks@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago

My current main is Thunder. Like all the rest it also has bugs, but none of them are particularly bad and the GUI is super slick.

[-] Mnky313@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Agreed, Thunder has been great. I just wish I could have vote/reply buttons on comments instead of only swipe gestures...

[-] golli@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think we are still in the phase where there is so much movement this answer might become outdated rather quickly.

For what it's worth I have installed: connect, liftoff, thunder, jebora and werwef (web app). But there are more I haven't tried yet

Currently writing from connect, which is my favorite.

As reference for Reddit clients I used to used relay (on my phone) and slide (on my tablet)

wefwef.app is not bad. Liftoff is good too but after last realme phone update it crashes the phone.

[-] ScotinDub@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Liftoff! Is superb. I don't have any complaints about it. My only gripe is finding the same content repeatedly. I just need to subscribe to more communities probably

[-] choroalp@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Liftoff and Connect mostly. Connect is a bit more mature but keep an eye liftoff

[-] L3ft3r1s@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mainly Liftoff and Connect for Lemmy.

[-] johnnycashmoney@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

Any with notable Foldable and Tablet support? I used Sync for Reddit cause of how solid the foldable function was

I know the developer is working on Sync for Lemmy.

I'm using jerboa, lift and connect. Each had positives and negatives. What's really needed, imo, is a way to centrally log in to all of the instances you have accounts on from one place and have it work on all apps. A single sign on.

Grabbing a new app and logging in to multiple lemmy servers is a pain in the ass.

[-] fr33man@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I have most of the Android apps installed, but the two I keep switching between are Connect and Thunder. Both devs keep pushing out updates to the apps periodically and are very responsive to user feedback.

Wefwef app was struggling last week. Today, it's been very solid. Sticking with it moving forward
