What's an app for lemmy that isn't Jeroba? (lemmy.ml)

Jeroba is already lackluster and there's a lot of stuff you can't do on Jeroba that you can do when browsing lemmy through a web browser. One new issue that jeroba has developed is that now it crashes a lot. This has crossed the line for me. It was already a pain to use but the crashing makes it so much worse. Are there any alternative apps yet?

Lol, can't view it in Jerboa

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

I can see it in Jerboa 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wish we could view links without leaving the app.

Thanks. I knew this table existed but couldn't find it.

Liftoff is great. You can find it at https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff

Thanks for the recommendation, I've started using this It's very good

Question - any idea how to get the keyboard to stop popping up? Every time I back out of a thread the keyboars comes into the screen, even if it was closed in the thread itself. Makes no sense.

Thunder. https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder

Thunder is currently my go-to for reading/scrolling Lemmy.

I agree. Jerboa started with good intentions and I only have respect for the devs but the UX is horrible. Nothing that cant be worked out with enough commitment.

As this is in my line of work it hurts to see even more

Jerboa currently has more features than other apps. Try clearing the app data to for the crashes.

lemmy.world instance is behind. Can't use it on the latest version of Jerboa app.

[–] netburnr 2 points 2 years ago

This version works until devs put the captcha back so the admin of lemmy.world can upgrade.

https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.34

Also make sure you update to the version on their GitHub, if you're still on 0.34 it's gonna crash on up-to-date instances

The sticky thread has a ton of alternatives!

The only other I found easily in the play store was Connect for Lemmy. Idk how to collapse comments in it though.

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

Summit is on the play store too.

Pressing and holding a comment will collapse a thread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pressimv and holdomg on a comment will collapse the thread.
