Jerboa just changed its display name so it shows "for lemmy" in the play store but not when it's installed.
Something to consider.
2 weeks ago we had Jerboa, now I can't count em anymore. Enourmous growth and development on Lemmy. However, I recommend wefwef.app for thy lazy types
Edit: not to be disrespectful, I also donated to Zach for Liftoff. Development goes on like crazy here.
Wefwef is really good thanks for the recommendation :)
My only issue has been constant "failed to load post" messages. Really sucks the fun out of it.
lemmy.world ?
Yeah, I just read the post about the rate limiting. I'm still getting used to all of this so didn't think to check for a community specifically for it.
If you can, selfhost. Wefwef is a lightweight.
Just did but it appears PWA doesn't work out of the box when doing so. Looking into fixing that now.
I agree, I tried them all on Android and kept going back to Jerboa... until I found wefwef. What an amazing app!
I agree. It's currently impossible to find directly through the app store. I found it through a post on lemmy.world and am glad I found it. Jerboa is kinda buggy and hard to use right now.
I downloaded from GitHub after it didn't show up when I typed "Liftoff lemmy" in the play store.
I'm not sure what has changed, but it's now popping up as the 3rd result on the play store when I repeat the search.
Yeah we added this in the upcoming release. Should be tonight
Agreed. The only reason I found Liftoff was because of this post (List of lemmy apps): https://lemmy.ml/post/1466515
It still doesn't show up for me on when I'm on Google Play.
Does the Play Store not support tags or keywords for search?! I would hope the author could just tag the app "lemmy" and it would show up if searching for "lemmy". Shouldn't have to put everything in the name of the app. FFS, Google... maybe worse than Reddit's search. (And if abuse of tags is a problem, punish the people abusing it.)
Someone mentioned earlier this week: "liftoff fediverse -reddit" as your search. Dumb/inconvenient but works.
Jerboa wasn't stable for me once. Liftoff seems solid. What's good about wefwef?
I am seeing a couple apps for lemme but nothing for kbin yet. Does anyone know if one is in the works?
The kbin API is still not ready so apps can't be done for it yet, but since demand has grown so much it is in the works
God forbid! These long and unnecessarily clunky can stay away from me.
I searched "liftoff lemmy" and found it immediately.
But the point would be for people who are looking for a Lemmy app and are just searching "Lemmy" and checking out whatever shows up there.
Comment spam sorry but you asked
Description will suffice tbh
