Flexing on people
wow what a flex 😂
I was a little bit confused until I saw your name
Wait... Is this posted from Sync for lemmy? 😍😍😍 I can't wait!
That was mean... And awesome!
Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?
Wink, wink!
Cheers brother! Nice to see you around here.

browser. i'll revisit that decision in a few months.
Same. I've installed a few apps to keep an eye on their development, but web is still my favourite for now. Some of the apps have gestures and easily collapsible threads, but UIs aren't completely polished yet.

Connect for Lemmy.
It's being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It's come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!

Sorry it's not an Android app, but I recommend the wefwef, which is an open source PWA project hosted on Github. https://wefwef.app/

Connect for Lemmy at the moment, but I've signed up to be notified when Sync for Lemmy drops. Sync had everything I wanted for my Reddit app, and I'm hoping for a similar interface for Lemmy when it arrives.

wefwef is surprisingly good
Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
Jerboa does not work with all 0.17 instances, I'm using Connect and may switch to Sync

Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!

Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
I've only tried Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder so far but Thunder is my early favorite. I'll probably keep bouncing around until Sync is ready.

Wefwef is very smooth, but I'm also really liking Thunder.
Liftoff seems decent
Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
- Jerboa is the most complete, but it's not very good... It's slow and the UI is very bland.
- Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It's still pretty buggy though.
- Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there's some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.

Boost for Lemmy is coming soon!
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.

Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
Connect for Lemmy
Pretty slick so far
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.
Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.

I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I'm using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
I might be just a tiny bit biased but it's Summit for Lemmy
Edit: I'm on https://lemmy.world/c/summit if anyone has feedback/feature requests/bug reports, etc.

I'm using Liftoff and I've liked it so far
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren't good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn't quite tic all the boxes, it's Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it's at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.
If Sync for Lemmy releases with half of the features and polish of the Reddit version, it's going to default to be the app of choice.
I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!

Jerboa and Connect. The former has been a bit unstable recently so Connect has been my go-to most recently.
