So what mobile apps are everyone using for lemmy?
Looking for recommendations.
Looking for recommendations.
Just added wefwef to my home pages in place of Apollo. There's almost no upskilling from Apollo to wefwef - they're very very similar. Also, I can't believe web apps have come so far in the traditional 'app' user experience.
I was going to say that it wefwef needs a comment sorting update....but it's been done since I last tried it. Right on.
As in intermediary between you and your primary server, what security is in place to prevent wefwef or similar from leaking your user/pass?
Took me a second to figure out reply (click on the triple dots), but I just gave wefwef it a try, and like it a lot. I will add my own recommendation to this.
I've always been in the "not everything needs to be an app" camp. Wefwef is currently the best in the "not app" category IMO.
Yeah we can argue till the chooks come home whether PWA counts as an app; but everyone has a browser, so a PWA makes it easier for me to get people on board, whether they're running Android, Apple, PC, or potato.
I use my browser. Reason why mobile apps gotten popular on reddit because the website is absolute trash. Lemmy doesn't have this problem.
I don't want a million apps that all want all permissions to do shitty things with my information and slow down my phone when I can have 1 app called a browser.
Only ever used old.reddit.com, and now I use that less and less every day and just go to aussie.zone 😜
I was one of the stubborn old reddit users too but I feel that an app makes shitposting much more convenient.
I use Memmy as well, works perfectly as far as I can tell. I started on Mlem but when Lemmy 0.18 came out it stopped working for me. No clue if anyone else had that problem and I just missed seeing it but either way Memmy has been great so far.
I’m using Memmy on iPhone/iPad. Not that that helps you currently. I know the Memmy dev plans to make a android version. I think once the iOS one is out of beta.
Just started using Memmy on iPhone via TestFlight and it’s pretty good. Nice and responsive.
I also tried wefwef.app too, and it looks like Apollo but doesn’t seem to load with the share to Home Screen trick.
Edit: link to TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
I’m on Mlem. Do you know the difference between the two? I’m kinda confused about that. Is it a different developer?
Different developers. Memmy has an actual iPad mode that MLem so far doesn't have. I feel like the each miss or have different features that the other has. I guess its all down to feature to do lists being different in terms of order. I prefer Memmy over MLem at this point, but I use my iPad a lot for reddit and now this.
I'm using the native lemmy PWA for signup approvals, and a mix of Jerboa and wefwef for general viewing. Wefwef seems more refined, but Jerboa shows avatar icons etc. I'm hoping that as the apps mature they'll make some of the visibility settings togglable.
Connect, but the creator of Boost for Reddit has a pre-Register open for his new project Boost for Lemmy
Boost was the best Reddit app I ever used and although I'm primarily Kbin Boost would make me switch.
Android, using Connect. Previously I was using Reddit Sync and I find the UI to be very similar. Loads quickly and easy to view.
Same w/ sync and now connect: but I'll keep an eye out for Sync it's getting a lemmy version over the next few weeks 😊
I'm Android and switching between default, Connect, and Liftoff. I'm enjoying both despite little niggles.
I also found out that Boost for Lemmy is coming! You can search it on the play store. I'm excited because it was my app of choice for the old place.
I've tried all that I can find and current preference is mobile website (for full featured), jerboa (for making posts), lift off (for doom scrolling)
Here is the most complete listing I've been able to find https://lemmy.world/post/465785
Just installed Jerboa & Connect, and I think I'm prefering Connect. Not to say Jerboa is bad, just connect seems to have a little more UI polish
I'm using Jerboa, as it was the first one I found, but am waiting to try the new Sync for Lemmy when it's available.
I'm using Jerboa, visually it looks similarish to RIF if you reduce the font size. But it feels very buggy still, like it seems you can only sort by All on your homescreen as when you select Subscriptions it doesn't work.
I have tried two, Jerboa and Connect, both on android. I personally like Jerboa more, Connect doesn't seperate the posts very well visually.
On Android I first started with Jeroba. Was OK first, the interface is usable. Jeroba has had a lot of issues to do with signing in for the past week so I've given up on it for now though.
Installed lift off which seems decent so far.
Originally on Jerboa, now on Liftoff. I much prefer Liftoff but I'm patiently waiting for devs to establish themselves on the platform. A few weeks is very little time to create a top tier AAA app ':)
