For those uninformed:

Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin is heavily inspired by Apollo; will even be on both ios and android

@OtakuAltair

@git Jerboa isn't terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn't good.

I'm hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.

Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it'll get forked by someone (it's open source) and it will work with Lemmy.

I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I've currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.

Jerboa is a really good app considering is still Alpha

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

I agree. There's definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it's doing pretty decently okay

Jerboa for lemmy: am I a joke to you?

[–] git 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I like Jerboa in fact I made this post from Jerboa. Just wanted to draw attention to large amount of new third part clients that has been getting announced lately

Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it'll only get better.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything

Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier

Am I stupid or am I missing a way to permanently set the "source" to subscribed instead of local? But apart from that it is quite good already.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's under Settings->[Username] settings->Default listing type

A robed man stands in the desert on a planet. The text below him says Lemmy API. Several AT-AT like robots are shown with red lasers firing at the robed man. Each robot has the text of an In development Lemmy app below it

Jerboa is pretty damn good on Android. No complaints here, coming from relay and RIF

[–] danprs 8 points 2 years ago

I got it looking like BaconReader! You can go into settings and adjust display options.

[–] Hopps 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.

[–] illi 5 points 2 years ago

I've read this is coming in next release I think

[–] TrinityTek 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed, Jerboa is working just fine for me.

Memmy App for iOS works quite well. Multiple updates per day over testflight.

[–] LargeHardonCollider 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out

[–] theatremaker 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.

Ive ran the unreleased version there are a ton of improvements coming to it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Hope rif for reddit devs jump ship and do a rif for lemmy. Im using jerboa but it still lacking some useful features like blocking keywords.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Hmm, I only know about Jerboa.

[–] git 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There is close to 10 Android apps currently in development you can see them at https://lemmy.ml/post/1162300

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I have already tried thunder BTW. Nice interface, glitchy though and what stops me from using it over jerboa is not being able to sort by top day. TBF they have made remarkable progress in a short amount of time.

I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I'm back to kbin because kbin's /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy's, while improving, is more like /all/rising.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even though I am an android user, I guess it would be nice for iOS user to also have some development going.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

There are at least 5 apps for iOS in development, Mlem, Memmy, Limbo, Beyond and Thunder

[–] faltuuser 9 points 2 years ago

Pixelfed dev also announced he wil be building Kbin mobile app. Not sure if that's for Android or iOS.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Should try some of them 3rd party lemmy apps

You can use the web app In chrome there is an option to add it to the home screen and it will behave like a normal app. Same thing is possible in IOS.

Reading this on Melm on iOS.

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

Thunder client is very nice and they also released new version which support make comments.

[–] DannyMac 5 points 2 years ago

TBH, the mobile experience isn't half bad

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

I use jerboa. Especially like that it uses material you

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

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