I keep gravitating toward Thunder at the moment. Iโ€™m liking Memmy too.

Jerboa, until Sync is ready. Been using it 11+ years on reddit, if I can get the same UI here, I won't even know I'm on Lemmy.

Where can I follow the development of Sync for Lemmy? I loved Sync for Reddit

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I understand your best bet is following the Lemmy community, his discord is private for testers and Patreon members

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The discord is public. There is only one patreon-only channel (which is fairly inactive to begin with). They share a weekly renewed invite code: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva

But in order to keep discussions for lemmy on lemmy, https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy would probably be the better alternative anyway @[email protected]

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

Oh shit thank you! I'd looked around and couldn't find a discord link anywhere so I'd just assumed it was private cause I saw that Patreon bit

Memmy on iOS is very much like Apollo. A bit buggy but a great start.

Mlem really didnโ€™t satisfy me.

[โ€“] Bird_Lawyer 11 points 2 years ago

Yeah Memmy is in a very impressive state for a beta. Still some issues and things to iron out, but very promising.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Mlem has been super buggy for me. As in Iโ€™ll see the same 5 posts repeated over and over. Honestly, the best part about Mlem is that it makes me use my phone less and less

Memmy is getting there tho. Memmy feels close to Apollo. I hope it grows beyond a 1:1 clone of Apollo and tries to get the finishing touches for Lemmy that wouldnโ€™t be seen on Reddit

[โ€“] skatrek47 12 points 2 years ago

Add another vote for Memmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Jerboa. Thunder looks awesome but still has a few bugs, would switch to it once it matures some more.

Anxiously waiting for Sync for Lemmy ๐Ÿ™ƒ

[โ€“] MusketeerX 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Connect for Lemmy. Was using Jerboa until the update made it a bit unstable with lemmy.world (until they update their end, hopefully soon).

Both pretty decent, but as a SyncForReddit refugee, I'm eagerly waiting for SyncForLemmy :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Another Connect for Lemmy use here. Apart from Jerboa, I feel Conner and Thunder have the most polished UI so far. The Connect Dev also seems to be super proactive and keeps rolling out multiple updates in a day with core features. It's even more impressive when you consider that this is just a solo dev. Also waiting to see how Sync for Lemmy turns out!

[โ€“] Ataraxia 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm still on jerboa despite that. I tried liftoff and it's not hitting the mark for me yet but it's early. Jerboa now allows for replies at least.

What I'm looking for is Joey pretty much. Being able to select a post and swipe to look at the next one. I don't like to scroll down and have to open each one so that it automatically removes viewed posts from my feed. That's pretty much the only thing missing in jerboa and I can't think of anything else I want? I mean if it's in joey I def want it I just can't think of anything else jerboa doesn't have that joey did.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I'm really enjoying Liftoff, it seems the most complete to me. I like jeroba but the laggy/choppy scrolling drives me crazy.

I keep bouncing between several, right now, thunder and connect are the top,but it changes litterally daily. If you are only going to use one,I would say stick with Jerboa until things stabalize in a month or so.

I am really looking forward to sync, as that was my default for reddit, but it isnt like ljdawson is the only person capable of making a good app,so Iam anxiosly keeping my eyes open.

[โ€“] moosh 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see a lot of people are on Jerboa but I don't think that one is available for iOS.

[โ€“] DaCrazyJamez 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[โ€“] moosh 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, didnโ€™t realize they were the same thing!

I'm the dev of Summit so I've been using Summit for Lemmy :D

[โ€“] rowdy_p 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've just downloaded it, after seeing your comment. It's nice and is working great so far, thank you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've just downloaded it too et I like it

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks nice but a little impractical for right-hand people

[โ€“] idunnololz 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm right handed. If you have some time, could you please share why it's difficult to use with your right hand? You can also make a post in https://lemmy.world/c/summit. Thank you!

Mlem at the moment but one apps start releasing on the App Store Iโ€™ll try different ones to see which fits my tastes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Right now, Mlem seems to be the only that lets me interact quickly with up and down votes. All the others seem to open the post or the comment.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I'm using the mobile site "installed" to my home screen.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm using the web app, it works well enough

[โ€“] small44 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any client on Android that can show post content and images on the main page instead of clicking on the post link to see the content?

[โ€“] Crackhappy 3 points 2 years ago

Liftoff does it. I imagine when Sync releases shortly it will too.

[โ€“] Crackhappy 1 points 2 years ago

[โ€“] Dick_Justice 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jerboa mostly, and Thunder and WefWef on the side. Ive been switching it up a lot because I enjoy watching all the progress.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wefwef is new to me. It's a web app... Interesting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was using Jerboa until I got booted due to the server upgrade, and now I can't log back in. A couple folks here have offered steps to help get back on it but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I hear good things about Liftoff tho

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had the problem with jerboa also but noticed that it's started working again with out having required an update on my end so maybe just try it again.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Still doesn't work for me, just tried again a couple minutes ago

Thunder imo has the best UX out of any of the apps I've tried so far. Still missing quite a few features, though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Best UX so far, but darn, not being able to edit yet has been tricky.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've really liked Liftoff

[โ€“] kratoz29 3 points 2 years ago

All of them honestly, but I still feel Jerboa is the most polished one of the club.

[โ€“] techgearwhips 2 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

All of them. All the apps have room for improvement because they're mostly on early development stages, but it's nice to see each one's strengths.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I mostly use the mobile web version. I tried Mlem but it was really buggy and I just flat-out didn't like it. I use Memmy off and on. When I feel like it's ready I'll probably use that as daily-Lemmy-driver.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] cities 1 points 2 years ago

Currently alternating between LiftOff and Mlem. Both have things I like about them

[โ€“] Iron_Lynx 1 points 2 years ago

Mozilla Firefox.

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

I am one of those who was using JoeyForReddit, and I am hoping to find something similar for Lemmy too.
