I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

Due to a bug in reposted comments about Summit, I will be locking this thread to prevent further issues.
Feel free to make a new thread about Lemmy apps!
I’m using Thunder and I’m liking it while I wait for Sync for Lemmy to be released.
If Thunder could fix its bugs and add more ui customization the it’d be golden.
Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.
I wasn’t a fan of the gestures either but I got use to them quickly and they aren’t bad.
Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t heard of thunder yet (been using liftoff, jerboa, and connect). So far thunder is the new best of the bunch!
I see vivaldi, I upvote! Best browser around
I see Niagara, I upvote! Best launcher around
yes sir!! been using niagara launcher since last year and just switched to Vivaldi on desktop lately. damn man, I don’t ever see myself using that google launcher ever again on my pixel phone no matter what updates they bake
memmy
U forgot Thunder
Thunder should 100% be on this list.
I’ve been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic–quite understandable given their early development.
I’m really looking forward to trying Sync when it’s ready.
Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download
I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff
It’s a progressive web app, basically a website that you install to your phone that behaves like a normal app. It’s one of the best PWAs I’ve personally encountered too.
Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day
Here you go…
Doesn’t work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn’t any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).
It’s because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.
It’s not an app, it’s a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.
I’m very excited about Infinity for Everything.
Slide is still in alpha but is looking promising.
def looks promising, I’ll give it a try!! thanks
Wait… The same Slide as the abandoned Reddit app?? That was my favorite of all of the Reddit apps I’ve tried due to it’s simplistic gesture design.
That’s the one. I’m not 100% sure of the history but it’s an attempt to get it working here and progress is already promising.
Fudge yeah!!
Edit: hahahahhaa! My autocorrect G-rated my comment
Haha, I got them all in a folder too and would rate them similarly. (Tough, Liftoff is above wefwef for me)
I Update them all regularly and snoop back in to see how they’re progressing. So far it’s been really fun and inspiring to see these madmen developers push out 3 updates a day
If I get to make one recommendation: the thunder app is also good, but only available through GitHub (I guess?), so you’d have to install via an apk. Worth it in my opinion, as it comes close after wefwef in my ranking! :D
The alternatives have looked nice, but overall I keep coming back to Jerboa as it has had less bugs for my experience. But I also get automated updates via F-Droid and previous versions have been buggy.
If you have izzy’s repo enabled then liftoff updates too
I do use Izzy’s repo, it isn’t a full f-droid experience without it

I’m currently using Thunder (it is open source, https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder) and it’s pretty nice. I tried Jerboa before but I kept getting way too many request errors (probably because I was using with the lemmy.world instance tho)
this feels nice to use but I can seem to get into lemmy.world. is it meant to be used for other instances?
I’m on lemmy.world and could only get into it on my PC for a couple of days, I had to use lemm.ee on my device but I just kept trying and eventually I got in.
Sync had a navigation option to go to the next “top comment”; I can’t find this feature on wefwef nor Connect.
Do the others have something similar to navigate comments inside posts?
Jerboa has this. So far it’s the only one (that I’ve tried) that has this feature.

Jerboa has been useless for me.
Even liftoff has struggled. I’m hoping that things stabilize over the coming weeks.
liftoff has been by far the most usable for me
I’m using wefwef and you can hardly tell that its not native
