What apps are you guys using until Boost for Lemmy gets released? : boostforlemmy

[-] JDMaybeMD@lemm.ee 32 points 11 months ago

I’m an Apollo refugee and Memmy is damn near the same experience - it’s great.

[-] Dankry@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Ditto. Memmy has a very familiar feel to it. Hell, it's even got a lot of the same themes which is a big plus.

[-] swan@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Jesus fuck I never knew it had themes I could change. Thank you so much dude. This looks way better Although I wish the green theme didn’t change the whole screen to look like a filter just pasted over it

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thunder as well. It just got a playstore release.

[-] lazierlaser@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I was using Jerboa and Liftoff alternatively when I found out your comment. Thunder fixes all of my complaints ty!

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If you do end up having any, let us know on !thunder_app@lemmy.world or the github.

[-] PhreakyByNature@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I will try this. Ultimately I know I just want Boost, but I always had a backup reddit client on my phone, so let's see what ends up taking second place.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

Felt the same about Relay, and was really bummed it isn't making the hop to lemmy. But now that I'm on the team making Thunder, I'm hyped af to make it something even better.

Voyager is the best. Big plus for it being a PWA.

I use Connect, having tried most of what's out there but can't wait to get my hands on Boost.

[-] geizeskrank@feddit.de 13 points 11 months ago

Liftoff

Connect can't connect to feddit, lol and jerboa seems unfinished.

[-] gelberhut@lemdro.id 4 points 11 months ago

I used connect with feddit.de without any issues.

Liftoff is the smoothest for me so far. Connect is great, too, but I can't stand the Icon. Same with Jerboa.

[-] stealthnerd@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Connect is such a well designed app but you'd never know it based on the icon. It really is ugly, though not as bad as jerboa's.

[-] narrowide96lochkreis@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It's true the Jerboa icon is off-putting for me too

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder and Connect installed and cycled through them to test them out. But lately i noticed i seem to be gravitating towards Connect.

I'm using Connect currently and it's pretty good so far.

Enjoying Connect as well. Dev is very responsive and has been making tons of changes and improvements. Reminds me of rif

[-] schizoidman@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

Liftoff and Jerboa

[-] maniac@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Looking at the Github for Jerboa, I feel like some text and icons aren't that greatly sized.

Liftoff looks pretty good but I personally dislike the + button on the bottom.

[-] Sarcastik@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I wish we had a poll vs trying to read through all these posts....

I flip between connect and jerboa. Jerboa would be my go to, but it's got too many issues.

[-] sma3in@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

voyager aka wefwef jerboa liftoff connect summit thunder

are all great apps with pros and cons

Im using jerboa but definitely wanna change when boose comes out

[-] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I'm using Liftoff, it's still in beta and feels rather clunky but it'll do until Boost comes out

I briefly tried Jerboa, but I kept getting errors when trying to connect to some instances. I switched over to Connect, and that's been working well for me so far. The dev is making consistent updates.

[-] i_do_not_agree@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

And he have full time job amezing guy

[-] CobaltLion@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I've been trying both Jerboa and Liftoff. I think I'm liking Jerboa a bit better, it sort of reminds me of RIF a bit.

[-] InFerNo@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Jerboa, I only wish I could swipe to the next post instead of having to back out and then click the next..

[-] crowsby@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I like the look and feel of Jerboa, but it has a bug on my device where I'll be typing and it'll just jump to middle of the post and start deleting/overwriting stuff.

I like how Liftoff can provide a unified All feed with content from all instances, but the feed just looks so noisy and icon-heavy

Connect seems the most well-rounded and the closest to a Relay for Reddit replacement, so I've been mainly gravitating toward that.

Thunder just didn't hit with me for whatever reason.

[-] DigitalPortkey@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

There is something odd about the fonts used for Thunder. Maybe the spacing between the letters, I don't know exactly.

Have been loving voyager aka wefwef the best. Reminds me of when I used to use apollo. Can't wait for boost but this one's pretty good too.

[-] danhab99@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

Liftoff, connect was too laggy

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

Connect, much better than Jerboa as of today.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I use too many, but lately only using apps that allow me to hide read post and mark as read while scroll, meaning:

Voyager
Connect for Lemmy
Summit

In that order, whenever Thunder gets these features I can see myself rocking it until Sync or Boost for Lemmy enters to the game!

I have high expectations for that hinted Voyager native app though.

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Liftoff rn

Summit or voyager

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thunder was the first I tried two weeks ago but didn't really like it at all. Maybe it's time to try it again, though it seems I have trouble logging in on it now.

I used to like Liftoff the most, but something changed in the last update and I don't like the new appearance of the feed as much.

I still go between it, Jerboa and Voyager and sometimes Connect. I don't like how Liftoff handles replies in the inbox, for one reason. It also shows only combined votes, not separate up/downvotes, while Voyager and Connect require an extra click to vote/reply to comments.

[-] Iamdanno@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I started with Jerboa, but am now using liftoff. Both are . . . OK. I'm not going to bother with another one until Boost gets released.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've been rotating between these. Have had issues with both so start using the ither one when the problems get bad with the current one.

I tried Thunder as well but that was the worst experience.

[-] ThatBaldFella@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Liftoff. I tried Jerboa, Connect and Liftoff and bounced between Connect and Liftoff for a while, but I mostly gravitated towards Liftoff. It's OK for now, but I don't think any of these apps will stay on my phone once Boost is released.

[-] Slopz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

lemmy.world in a browser (mobile version ofc) with a shortcut. I prefer it over any app at the moment because of the good UI and no missing functionality.
