needs text; too oblivious to know minor differences in mouse shapes

[–] trifictional 10 points 2 years ago

I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.

I think Jerboa goes in the A tier. Liftoff would be easy S tier if only it had an easier way to view comment context (like Jerboa).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Too bad too, because I would agree if Jerboa didn't have so many bugs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The latest version (0.0.38) fixed the bugs for me. The previous one (0.0.37) was nearly unusable.

As a jerboa user myself, I'm pretty confident Jerboa is C or D tier at best. It has a very buggy UI, crashes very frequently and is a nightmare to post comments. I'll hold my beliefs until the devs fix those issues

[–] Marduk73 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I only tried the two inside fdroid, jerboa and that other one. On now and it seems fine but i don't have much to compare it to. Seeing as how this lemmy stuff is new to me and i only tried the two.

Edit: ACd Hernia, changed back to jerboa. Lol hernia

What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it's an older version issue for you

You should write a big "MY" at the beginning of the title.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

You missed Thunder

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (7 children)

It's weird that Thunder, most polished Lemmy app, is not even on the list

[–] drudoo 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree. Since joining the beta, I’ve exclusively used Thunder. I never encounter errors or load issues and comments are posted without issues.

Every other app seems to have problems. Started with Memmy and wefwef but I couldn’t handle all the loading errors.

Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The second C tier is Lemmynade but thats just the old name for Liftoff so Im not sure why its its own thing here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I've made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.

Now I need the names for the S tiers

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wefwef and simply Lemmy but as a webapp

[–] SeatBeeSate 5 points 2 years ago

Wefwef would be s for me as well but toasts block the bottom part of the screen and can't be dismissed. Trying to read comment replies and getting blocked by a message that tells me I'm looking at comment replies...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My dumbass just searched for “simply lemmy” thinking that is the name of a 3rd party web app.

I'm using Jerboa and eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. Haven't had the motivation to try anything else yet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Where is Memmy? I’d put that A tier probably. Good but not as good as wefwef.

I would put Jerboa above LiftOff and Connect, because I like the UI more

[–] Cris_Color 3 points 2 years ago

Agreed, feels better executed to me personally

[–] jacktherippah 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Jerboa is A or S tier for me. Sure it used to crash alot, but now it's silky smooth, doesn't crash anymore and everything just works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fornme Jerboa is S tier just because os available on the F-Droid store (and its works)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Missed Thunder, Jerboa deserves better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Started with Jerboa, tried Connect but that didn't feel right for me. Now I'm back to Jerboa (sometimes using Liftoff but mostly Jerboa), waiting till Boost is released

[–] Vormital 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've tried Jerboa. It feel basic but seems to be the inky one that actually shows decent search results when searching for communities. But it have a simple UI which is nice to me.

Wefwef. I hated it, but I am an android user who use to use RiF, this is nothing like it and it put me off. I can only fit like 2 post on the screen when scrolling. Way too much wated space

Liftoff. Don't like the UI, feels like everything is a little too big. There is too much wasted space again.

Connect for Lemmy. This is my go to and daily driver now. Its so quite similar to RiF if you tweek some of the settings. Can fit way more posts onto my screen at once. Has more customisation/functionality then Jerboa.

[–] V4uban 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Vormital 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, not tried that one yet. Is it on android.

Just taken a look at Boost in the play store and that looks very much like RiF. Might try that one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Thunder is the best. I try the other 8 apps I have but keep going back to thunder. It's so much better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Try Jerboa again if you had trouble. The last couple updates were huge leaps forward

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are the two in S tier?

[–] DRx 6 points 2 years ago

Wefwef (rainbow) and Memmy (black)

[–] kenbw2 4 points 2 years ago

I'm loving wefwef but have two gripes

  • It seems to get laggy with prolonged use (Firefox on android)
  • The way pressing Posts/Inbox/Account/Search operate like tabs where you have to back back back to the main screen
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Where is mlem on this list

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Not sure what those apps are. S Tier both kinda look like Memmy? (It’s the only one I know).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I guess I should try wefwef. Connect has been working nearly perfectly for me for the last week or so and the dev keeps adding new features. I think I might be loyal already.

[–] Sdot 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hard agree. This is what I concluded from my research also.
