I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

I'm liking the initial beta version of Artemis quite a bit.

[–] Not_me@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

I mostly use Connect and sometimes wefwef too. I tried Jerboa but it's very laggy on my phone. And I'm waiting for Sync.

[–] rzlatic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Used Connect but switched to mobile browser. Lemmy behave way less buggy and way more stable, while UI and functionality are just fine. Will try Sync when it comes to beta though.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Firefox. My initial experience with Jerboa wasn't great but it is improving.

[–] 0xb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

All of them rig now.

So far really liking wefwef, but connect and liftoff are really good as well.

The app ecosystem will be changing a lot in the next couple months so I will keep testing whatever keeps coming out.

[–] Marxine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Mostly Jerboa, but also Thunder and LiftOff. All of them function nicely.

[–] apigban@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I use connect for lemmy on android

[–] MilkToastGhost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is great so far. Used Jebora, but it was having some connectivity issues and the comment structure was a little hard to differentiate. Liftoff is really nice and notifies you when you lose connection to the server. Never had an iPhone so didn't use apollo unfortunately because I heard great things. I did hear that the Boost team are releasing a new app soon which boost was IMO the best one I ever used

Memmy for iOS

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I'd like to know what I am doing wrong when trying to log-in. I can't be the only person having issues.

I have this account (Hazdaz) and I've tried logging into wefwef, Connect and Jerboa. On ALL three apps on my Samsung S21FE I get an error message that my credentials/password isn't correct. I've used my PC and reset the password. Changed at least 2 times now and tried again logging into these 3 Android apps and the error is the same. What can I possibly be doing wrong? The only way I can access Lemmy is on a computer. I've asked about this a few days ago and some helpful people replied but nothing they suggested worked.

How can this be so difficult?

Jerboa for the most part. Allows me a couple of accounts and lets me keep them separate.

Liftoff is pretty decent too, except the both accounts sort of merge and show up in a single feed.

Really cannot wait for Boost. Seriously, so psyched!

Just waiting patiently for boost.

This has been asked dozens of times in the past days and weeks. I wish people would use the search function.

Long term I hope we move a part of this to the wiki. https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F

To still provide something helpful for the current thread: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/

I've been using a bunch. I've tried liftoff, Jerboa, the official PWA and wefwef. So far, I'm liking the vibes I'm getting from liftoff.

[–] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Thunder. It's working well except maybe for the facts that upvoting takes forever and I keep getting 502 errors all the time, but I'm unsure whether that's Thunder's fault or it's just because my is instance is lemmy.world lol

[–] RetroHitch@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (10 children)

As a kbin user do these apps work for that or not? I chose kbin because i prefer the web UX.

[–] TheCoker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use kbin as well. As you stated, the interface is appealing.
I just migrated to the Lemmyverse so I'm trying new stuff out but so far, kbin is for me.

[–] RetroHitch@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tried lemmy and hated all that whitespace, kinda reminded me why I dislike normal reddit and always used old.reddit instead. So yeah, im a kbiner :)

[–] moohamin12@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can browse in dark mode. It is available in the settings. Some instances allow for compact dark mode as well.

I went from never using Lemmy to using it so much more just from that simple change.

[–] RetroHitch@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

When i say whitespace i just mean the generic amount of empty space not the opposite of dark mode :)

I tried it, i fiddled with options but kbin just feels better for me and is easier to fit for me as a reddit replacement than the others. Lemmy is def a 2nd choice though, the rest are all awful.

[–] Dav@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The web ui is solid, but still patiently waiting for the Artemis app. Looks like it’s shaping up nice.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Same, really looking forward to a public release for Artemis!

I'm with Liftfoff, until Beyond reaches its usable stage (RIP Infinity).

[–] athlon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Memmy ftw. But also, developing my own app for macOS right now :)

[–] LemmyKravitz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

jerboa, liftoff & wefwef, although I see liftoff more.

[–] Jed_77@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Between Jerboa and Connect atm. Prefer the look of Jerboa but it definitely is buggier. All of a sudden it wouldn't let me subscribe to communities so spending more time on Connect. Have signed up for boost though do will check that once it's released.

[–] CountMonte@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jerboa for browsing everything. And then Slide while at work because I disabled NSFW in Slide.

[–] Mateng@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

[–] SpunkyIceke42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Liftoff! Why? Because I love swiping back from the middle of the screen instead of the sides.

[–] octalfudge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Was using wefwef but could not get over the PWA feel, now using Mlem and loving it!

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kbin + kbin enhancement script + ublock through a Kiwi Browser "app" install. I tried all the Lemmy specific apps, including wefwef, and couldn't stand any of them. Some were completely borked because beehaw was still on .17, others were incredibly buggy or they had very weird layout & design choices that made the usability experience just too weird.
