Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
Android user here. Liftoff is unmatched in terms of its visual presentation.
I find Jerboa scrolls nicer. And it seems stable now.
Interesting; I fled Jerboa because its scrolling wasn’t smooth. I’m using primarily Liftoff now because it looks and feels so good and works for everything I need. Its search function also allows filtering for posts, users, and communities, a feature which Connect does not have.
Been using Jerboa and Connect side by side for a couple of days now. I think I’ve landed on Jerboa but I’m still not sure. Going to give both a ride for another week and see how I feel. They’re both different in good ways and I’m super excited to see where the devs take them.
I love the look of Liftoff. I just wish it had the functionality of Connect.
After trying (imho) all android app, for me, Connect works the best.
I think it depends on one’s taste which app is the “best”.
Yes, but even connect has some issues e.g. triple notification.
That is something I personally can live with. So far, non of the tried android apps for Lemmy gave notifications properly.
I like Jerboa for android and Voyager for iOS
Voyager also exists for android and is a little quicker
I like both Memmy and Liftoff. Memmy is probably best for most people, though.
Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.
For Android I’m finding Liftoff to be the best comparison to RIF so far.
However, I I am waiting to check out Boost. But for now, I’ve stopped using the other 2 big ones (Connect and Jerboa) altogether in favor of Liftoff.
They’re all good in their own ways, but I’m starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there’s no real interaction with them
I can understand why you’d be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.
So I have to ask why was this post which asked what is a decent client for Debian removed (per rule #3):
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1681507
while at the same time this “What’s the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?” is not removed? Is it because the moderator created this thread & thus /above the law/, in effect?
The moderator got tired of deleting multiple threads a day about mobile apps and as a compromise created this topic. It’s technically outside of the rules of the community but we only have so much mod bandwidth.
I removed the Debian thread because it’s about using Lemmy, a question that fits better in a support community (or a OS-specific community) rather than here. If you’d like to start a topic discussing interfaces, go for it.
So yes, at the end of the day, a moderator call based on the community rules and trying to do what’s best for this community. Believe me, there are far better ways to get a power kick than modding this community.

Isnt infinity severely bugged RN ?

So far thunder has been the best client
deleted by creator
Same , but thunder so far was least bugged although the new release has bugs , now liftoff really lifts off !
deleted by creator
Just saw that connect is out too ! They all be getting polished if development goes on!
My problem with it is than when leaving the app for a split second it doesn’t remember where I was the last time. This is especially frustrating when commenting. Infinity doesn’t have this problem. Actually it’s the only app that doesn’t have this problem (except maybe sync)
Also I’ve always always used Infinity so I’m pretty used to it although I have no problems adjusting to other apps.
Infinity is now eternity a new version is out !!
Ah. Forgot that even though I use it rn
Infinity for lemmy is coming along really nice!
Found one on F-droid but it is a fork of the original one. Is it made by the same dev?
Yeah a fork, it’s not the same dev.
Thunder has the best UX out of any of the Lemmy apps I’ve tried so far.
Boost
Not sure if same on iPhone but wefwef.app is great on android. Tried jerboa, connect and liftoff, this one is a pwa and it works quite well.
+1 for Liftoff. I’ve got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.
Hmm. Trying latest liftoff, some slowness vs pwa but it seems to get all the images with no issues. Time will tell I guess in which ones to stick with.
Yeah nothing is quite perfect yet, and I’m figuring out my priority features as I keep going. The future is bright though.
I seem to have scrolling issues with wefwef on IOS. Memmy which is currently in Testflight is much smoother most of the time
Android: Eternity (A Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.) https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
For iPhone, you can testflight Mlem or Memmy and, although I prefer Memmy, they’re both pretty great. I’d definitely give them a try.
