Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:
A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!
Edit: !lemmynade@lemm.ee for anyone wanting to follow
Man that looks good
Thank you, that means a lot!
lemm.ee looks like it’s running a pretty old version and I can’t search that community :( could be a me issue though.
Thanks for your contribution, looks great! The more the merrier.
I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I’m happy with it.
Typing with connect, you can tell it’s beta quality but it’s pretty good so far
Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn’t crash randomly.
Connect feels the most like Boost, so I’m happy with it.
+1 the same for me
I like jerboa because i can install it from fdroid
Only one app? Those are rookie numbers
I use jerboa but I’d try out any libre client. I’m not interested in proprietary apps.
Funny enough I never saw the need for dedicated website apps for e.g. reddit, but the fediverse is somewhat clumsy to use in a browser (I’m aware that browser extensions can help) so an app actually improves the experience a bit.
I’m using Jerboa, but it keeps crashing and on every statup complains that my instance is not compatible with the updated version. This drives me back to reddit and when it shuts off apps, I’ll probably go back to real life.
In the latest version of Jerboa I can’t change from All / Active anymore. 😊 Also I can’t figure out for the life of me how to make a top level comment, they’re doesn’t seem to be a button for it.
Thunder didn’t have sorting by top last time I checked. Liftoff can’t add other instances than the 3 it comes with.
So you don’t see a speech bubble in the row under the picture?
No, just number of comments, upvote/downvote buttons and scores, and the button to save the post. I’m on 0.0.36 right now.
It’s just Jerboa. I use Connect for Lemmy and that problem doesn’t exist. I think the dev for Jerboa doesn’t want to spend time making it backwards compatible, but other clients are.
Please report back on this “real life” thing
Try Connect for Lemmy. Jerboa is just very badly bugged and a poor UX right now. Connect seems to be much less buggy as well as more usable generally.
I’m so used to web clients I can’t get myself to use third-party apps anymore.
For me there’s one massive flaw with the mobile web version of Lemmy - that when you go “back” after viewing a post the page scrolls near to the top of the page. If it weren’t for that I’d happily give up the quest for an app.
What are you using instead?
A mixture of Mobile Web and Connect. I’ll probably re-evaluate in a couple of weeks. I really liked Jerboa, but new posts never seemed to refresh on my instance, I’ll probably try that again.
Same
So far which is your favorite. Mine is thunder
Some of those I can’t find. Are those apple apps? I am using the Google Play store and can’t find all those apps and I want them.
As far as I can tell most android Lemmy clients aren’t on play store but the dev’s GitHub (Liftoff, Thunder, Lemming)
So I get them from GitHub and install them on my phone?
Yep, can find some of them here, typically wanna check the releases on the git for the apk file https://lemmy.ml/post/1162300
Thank you will check them out.

Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently.
Edit: does anyone know if any android app allows hiding posts? (locally on the device, i think the servers don’t support)
I’m using liftoff (Android), best one I’ve found so far.
I concur, It has the smoothest UX there is
Just Jerboa normally… but it’s so buggy that I discovered Connect. It’s amazing.
wefwef & thunder here 🫡
It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
Im waiting for the block option and hide when read.
Sounds about right!
I keep alternating between Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and the Lemmy ‘add to homescreen’ ‘app’
I’m finding that Memmy has all the features I need at the moment so I’m very happy with that. The developer leaves funny patch notes and updates it at least once a day with new bug fixes and features.
I can edit comments, post content, log in with my porn account 🥰, and reply to people and get inbox messages. Crazy how fast all these apps have popped up.
Wait, I can edit my comments? How?
Click the 3 dots on your comment and it will give you the option to edit.
All it gives me is Copy Link, Copy Text & Delete :(
Edit: Well, the feature only just got rolled out for me
I guess they’re doing updates in batches then
Can you point me to Thunder? I love Memmy and Mlem but I am down for more.
I’ve used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.
Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it’s working as of this post)
The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don’t like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.
Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.
Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it’s tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.
I also prefer the compact view option in Jerboa to all others, but the last couple versions have been too buggy. This week I find myself using liftoff more. Connect is nice too but is WAY TOO big/floaty for my tastes so I hope they tweak it and add some more diverse options. Reminds me of instagram. I realize that’s a popular view style, but I like the good ol’ compact list.
Using the PWA until Sync for Lemmy is released.
You should try out wefwef.app
It is an Apollo like web app for Lemmy.
I used mlem for a bit but memmy is my go to right now
I’ve settled on thunder for now. Flawless since the latest update
I prefer Liftoff at the moment for the UI similarities with Infinity for Reddit.

Really happy with Thunder, too, but the swipes are too sensitive, and the title should really be above the image in the feed view to provide context as you scroll.
It’s like what Sync was early on.
Is that iOS? I don’t see it for Android.
It’s not on the play store. https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
Ah, thanks. I’ll probably just stick with the play store then.
