Also using Liftoff. Haven't tried Summit though. Others have felt inferior to Liftoff. The second Sync is released im gonna spend w/e it costs tho. Love that app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Second Liftoff. Quite good, but still missing my Sync options.

[โ€“] beum 5 points 1 year ago

Have used jerboa, wefwef but find myself preferring the liftoff experience until sync is released.

My only problem with Liftoff is there seems to be no way to set the font size of comment text. It's incredibly tiny on my screen. I can change the title and subtitle font size for the post cards view, but not the comments within.

Liftoff is the only one that worked for me. I'm excited for Boost for Lemmy tho

[โ€“] Mikey_donuts 2 points 1 year ago

Tried a few. Quite happy with liftoff.

I have tried connect and Jerboa. Connect has good featured but the user experience is lacking. Refreshing does things you wouldn't think, errors are TOO verbose and take up half the screen. But the customization is super nice and allowed me to make it almost like RiF.

Jerboa is the opposite. The UX is great and what you except from an official app. But there are missing features. Namely the inability to browse other instances unless you create an account who's home instance is there. Also the customization is a bit lacking in regards to what's on screen and how you interact with the content.

I'm not complaining simply stating my findings. I would love to try more apps especially some from any of the reddit app developers.

The Connect guy made his 1st version in like 5 days and update multiple times a day, it's impressive as a developer. Jerboa is nice too, now that network is more stable there is no more all kind of errors. In list view, Jerboa is about like Sync.

Connect just had a big update in the last 24hr, seems smoother now

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using liftoff till sync comes around. The experience has been pretty good coming from jerboa

[โ€“] Crazychicken563 12 points 1 year ago

Posting from Liftoff but I'll be switching to Sync first thing. Can't rush perfection though, I'm happy to wait for the best Lemmy app

[โ€“] skepticalifornia 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm eagerly awaiting Sync but wefwef is pretty damned good in my opinion.

[โ€“] seacocker 6 points 1 year ago

I still find the look and feel of it a bit outdated, but functionally it's great.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know if there are any tablet compatible Lemmy apps?

[โ€“] sucricdrawkcab 4 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for Sync!!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's a lot to ask for a platform that's just now gaining steam but I got a Z fold recently and as far as I can tell nobody has a good two pane feature on their app yet. Anyone know of one or which apps have it planned?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am also using a Z Fold and so far ivengot nothing. Hopefully Sync will be bringing the two pane feature over from the reddit version.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've tried a few. At the moment I'm using the PWA Wefwef.app

It's similar to how Apollo was, not perfect but good enough until Sync comes.

Does anyone know if infinity is making a lemmy app?

[โ€“] Ahmed 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's one developer said that he's working on developing a Lemmy client that's "inspired by Infinity" https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/58630/I-am-working-on-a-new-lemmy-app-for-iOS

[โ€“] prey169 1 points 1 year ago

ah thats sweet ! Thank you!

[โ€“] Caboose12000 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

has anyone tried boost for Lemmy? it just says register for me instead of install

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's just pre-registration -- so you'll get it automatically when the first release drops.
