Flexing on people
wow what a flex 😂
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.
Nice flex.

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.

Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
- Jerboa is the most complete, but it's not very good... It's slow and the UI is very bland.
- Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It's still pretty buggy though.
- Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there's some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.
I am unable to find it in the playstore. Could you link to it? There are too many apps called "LiftOff" haha
It even has the poop post on a screenshot there
I'm using liftoff until sync is released
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!
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.

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.
Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
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.
Liftoff seems decent
I might be just a tiny bit biased but it's Summit for Lemmy
How do you sub/unsub community in summit?
Edit: found it, swipe right

Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
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'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.

Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync

Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!

Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!
Jerboa, but can't wait for Sync to be released. If it's anything like the Reddit app, it'll be amazing (obviously after many iterations and testing etc).
I'm using Jerboa
Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
At the moment I'm just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.
