What do you think?
I think Jerboa goes in the A tier. Liftoff would be easy S tier if only it had an easier way to view comment context (like Jerboa).
As a jerboa user myself, I’m pretty confident Jerboa is C or D tier at best. It has a very buggy UI, crashes very frequently and is a nightmare to post comments. I’ll hold my beliefs until the devs fix those issues
Too bad too, because I would agree if Jerboa didn’t have so many bugs.
The latest version (0.0.38) fixed the bugs for me. The previous one (0.0.37) was nearly unusable.
F-droid still shows 37. Where did you get 38?
I just grabbed it from their GitHub.
What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it’s an older version issue for you
This is what i want. I can view comment context with just a click or two but it would be more convenient to just be able to view it from the inbox screen
Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone’s replying to since I don’t post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox
Liftoff added that, although the UI is a bit clunky
The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.
Liftoff! is super snappy, but I can’t get used to the UI, to me it seems like it lacks attention to detail on the visuals part of the app.
Edit: I just figured out why it looks so strange to me: the app is very Material Design-y, so it feels outta place on iOS.
Soon there will be boost for lemmy!
Im waiting for it.
This is the first that I heard of it
But me too
Anyone who hasn’t already pre registred can do it here
You should write a big “MY” at the beginning of the title.
It’s weird that Thunder, most polished Lemmy app, is not even on the list
Why does Thunder, the most polished app, not simply eat the other five?
I forgot about it
It has some niceities missing like how many unreas replies you have. But it’s much better UI wise than Jerboa and actually marks posts as read unlike Liftoff. (Will make an issue when I get around to it)
Which app do you use to mark post as read automatically?
Thunder and Jerboa both mark posts as read after you click on them. Same goes for the webinterface. You have to enter the post, opening the preview image doesn’t count.
Ha ok, what I want is to mark post as read once I scrolled them (even with opening them). AFAIK, there is no any client which do this
You missed Thunder
I’m using Jerboa and eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. Haven’t had the motivation to try anything else yet.
Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:
-
S tier
- Wefwef
- Lemmy (not an app, just use Lemmy on your mobile’s web browser)
-
A tier
- Connect for Lemmy (Android only)
- Liftoff (Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS (TestFlight))
-
B tier
- Jerboa (Android only)
-
C tier
- Summit (Android only)
(I don’t know the second C-tier app)Lemmynade (this is the old name for Liftoff (thanks aDogCalledSport@lemmy.zip))
-
D tier
- Lemmotif (Android | iOS (Testflight))
The second C tier is Lemmynade but thats just the old name for Liftoff so Im not sure why its its own thing here
Thanks! I’ve made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.
The other one in C tier is lemmur. Discontinued.

Now I need the names for the S tiers
Wefwef and simply Lemmy but as a webapp
My dumbass just searched for “simply lemmy” thinking that is the name of a 3rd party web app.
Yeah, gotta search for the full “simply Lemmy but as a webapp” in order to actually find the right thing
For me Jerboa is S tier just because os available on the F-Droid store (and its works)
Missed Thunder, Jerboa deserves better.
Thunder is the best. I try the other 8 apps I have but keep going back to thunder. It’s so much better.
I guess I should try wefwef. Connect has been working nearly perfectly for me for the last week or so and the dev keeps adding new features. I think I might be loyal already.
Where is mlem on this list
Try Jerboa again if you had trouble. The last couple updates were huge leaps forward
Not sure what those apps are. S Tier both kinda look like Memmy? (It’s the only one I know).
