Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…
Yeah, I think you can change the default page in settings.
You can remove the lemmy.world instance once you’ve added your own. Long press.
lemm.ee is awesome for me. maybe you should try ❤️
I’m not a fan of the bottom navigation. Needlessly takes up space.
CONNECT for me.
Liftoff is what I’ve settled on, so far. I’ve found it to have the best performance of all the Android options.
Thunder has gotten a lot better, as well. It’s now the fastes for me, by far.
Thunder was pretty snappy. I didn’t know about that one, so I tried it just now. I’m afraid to say I think I like Liftoff better still, because Thunder uses swipe gestures for a few things and is missing a few “top” sorts, but it seemed like it has potential.
It didn’t have top sorting at all a few versions ago 😅
Theres a dozen of us contributing to it every day, it’s coming along very nicely, and making it usable without the gestures is a current focus. It’s already possible with posts, but next up are comments.
Keep it in mind! Check back a bit later and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.
Cool, sounds like it’s coming along well. I’ll give it another shot next update or so :)
Gestures can now be entirely disabled, and you can turn on buttons for posts and comments. All top sort options are now available.
Also play store release within next 24 hours.
Cool, thanks for the update! Coincidentally, Liftoff put gestures with no option to turn them off in their latest release, so I’ve been a little unsatisfied about that. I’ll try Thunder again.
The play store release is a huge deal too. Ngl that I probably wouldn’t have used Thunder if I had to manually update it from github for each new release.
Yeah, it is pretty fast!
I’m using Liftoff until Boost (formerly Boost for Reddit) releases their app. Boost was an amazing experience on Reddit so I have to imagine it’ll be equally good with Lemmy. So far Liftoff has been very good though. No real complaints but would love to see more customization options in the future.
I love it. The best Option for now.
Same :D
I found it yesterday, and I like it so far.
Give it a go!
I will.
It’s one of the better ones so far.
Same opinion!
I couldn’t enjoy Liftoff since it doesn’t appear to have gesture support. Connect and WefWef are what I use until Sync for Lemmy is released.
Also, LiftOffs gigantic button at the top is an eyesore. I don’t find the UI as well done.
This lack of gestures actually makes me want to give it a go. I’ve never once used gestures on purpose, I always just accidentally do stuff.
Edit: seems pretty sweet!! It handles instances in a really weird way. If you leave the default lemmy.world account available and don’t login, you can’t interact with posts from that instance even if you are logged in with an account from another instance.
If I login on both, all of my post and comment history I assume would be split between the relevant account. Weird.
I really like the UI and performance of the app overall though.
I’m using it right now. I’m torn between it and Thunder. They’ve both made lots of improvements in the last couple weeks.
Yeah, speed of development is insane!
It’s ok. I got it on Android now.
For me it is most stable experience (wefwef lacks some features but is also very stable).
I’m not a fan. It’s laid out weird, like a Apple app or something. I just couldn’t get used to it.
Connect and Jerboa are the two I’m trying to decide between now.
Try Thunder. Jerboa like layout but made better.
Thunder is great, but it’s got some issues I hope they work out. I don’t like that you can’t block communities in thunder, or if you can its so convoluted that I haven’t figured it out yet. I also don’t like that it struggles to seamlessly refresh. You’ll be scrolling through the feed then two seconds later go through the exact same ten posts you just saw because it refresh glitched.
On the other hand I think their feed aesthetic is the nicest of the bunch, and they have my absolute favorite feature where you can tap to unblur NSFW and then re-tap to reblur it all without leaving the feed. That is SUCH a nice feature.
I’m using connect as my main ATM but I’ll def jump back to thunder if they can clean up some of the bugs!
Try the latest release! I saw in the changelogs recently that both of these have been addressed.
Liftoff for me has been fantastic… I was a RIF user…
For me it is not. But the most usable (voyager, wefwef lacks some basic features still).
I like Liftoff but the one thing that stops me from using it more is the dark theme is still a bit too light. Trouble is, I don’t like complete black Amoled mode either. Maybe I’m just hard to please 😁
Maybe 😁

Connect app had some pretty good customisable themes. I use a dark grey for the exact reasons you mentioned
I couldn’t get it installed. It kept telling me “app not purchased”, but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.
You can try to install it from it’s GitHub repo! Link.
I tend to switch back and forth from Thunder to Liftoff and back. I like the layout and gestures of Thunder but Liftoff allows me to share memes directly from the app. That’s a surprisingly rare feature.
