Can't take your app being criticized for crashing so much that it's useless on my OnePlus 6t? The app literally wouldn't stay open long enough for me to give it any real judgement. That's my experience
Things have been updated since and it seems to finally work again for those of us it was broken for. Give it a shot! Or don't because for me scrolling is still laggy as hell lol.
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
I only tried the two inside fdroid, jerboa and that other one. On now and it seems fine but i don't have much to compare it to. Seeing as how this lemmy stuff is new to me and i only tried the two.
Edit: ACd Hernia, changed back to jerboa. Lol hernia
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
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.
I agree. Since joining the beta, I’ve exclusively used Thunder. I never encounter errors or load issues and comments are posted without issues.
Every other app seems to have problems. Started with Memmy and wefwef but I couldn’t handle all the loading errors.
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)
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
Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:
S tier
A tier
B tier
C tier
D tier
The second C tier is Lemmynade but thats just the old name for Liftoff so Im not sure why its its own thing here
Yeah, gotta search for the full "simply Lemmy but as a webapp" in order to actually find the right thing
Wefwef would be s for me as well but toasts block the bottom part of the screen and can't be dismissed. Trying to read comment replies and getting blocked by a message that tells me I'm looking at comment replies...
I'm using Jerboa and eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. Haven't had the motivation to try anything else yet.
Jerboa is A or S tier for me. Sure it used to crash alot, but now it's silky smooth, doesn't crash anymore and everything just works.
Fornme Jerboa is S tier just because os available on the F-Droid store (and its works)
Thunder is the best. I try the other 8 apps I have but keep going back to thunder. It's so much better.
Started with Jerboa, tried Connect but that didn't feel right for me. Now I'm back to Jerboa (sometimes using Liftoff but mostly Jerboa), waiting till Boost is released
I've tried Jerboa. It feel basic but seems to be the inky one that actually shows decent search results when searching for communities. But it have a simple UI which is nice to me.
Wefwef. I hated it, but I am an android user who use to use RiF, this is nothing like it and it put me off. I can only fit like 2 post on the screen when scrolling. Way too much wated space
Liftoff. Don't like the UI, feels like everything is a little too big. There is too much wasted space again.
Connect for Lemmy. This is my go to and daily driver now. Its so quite similar to RiF if you tweek some of the settings. Can fit way more posts onto my screen at once. Has more customisation/functionality then Jerboa.
