What's your lemmy app of choice?
I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

That was mean... And awesome!
Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?
Wink, wink!
Cheers brother! Nice to see you around here.
Connect for Lemmy.
It's being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It's come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It's crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn't handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.
Right?? if the dev keeps going as strong as it's been so far I can see Connect being a competent option even after Sync Launches.
Connect here too. Jerboa kept crashing on me. When it did load it couldn't connect. When it could connect it wouldn't load in icons and left some posts blank.
Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
I'm testing connect right now and so far it works very well. Unfortunately Jerboa crashed for me all the time since the last update. I'm still hoping for a bacon reader version for Lemmy.
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren't good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn't quite tic all the boxes, it's Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it's at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I'm using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
I am unable to find it in the playstore. Could you link to it? There are too many apps called "LiftOff" haha
Liftoff is still 'early access' and yet... so polished. It immediately became my go-to.
I can't believe that just a couple of weeks ago, we had a single (Android) solution. Suddenly, it's hard to keep track of all the clients...
I literally have 5 installed. Exciting times. The birth of a social network created by users for users.
Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it's just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I'm viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.
Apparently my desired feature is already present. From the Home tab the Subscribed/Local/All button expands to let you pick which logged in account to show.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
Connect for Lemmy is pretty Sync like. Give it a try!

i was using jerboa until i saw this comment and i must say after using connect for a few minutes its much better! and i can actually log in!
Same. I've installed a few apps to keep an eye on their development, but web is still my favourite for now. Some of the apps have gestures and easily collapsible threads, but UIs aren't completely polished yet.
Try wefwef it's a web app with gesture support. Seems to be one of the more featured GUIs so far.
I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!
I'm so tired of that, Especially when a site says to use their app and won't let you keep browsing the site because the popup is in the way.. Why even have the website anymore.
