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
From what I understand your best bet is following the Lemmy community, his discord is private for testers and Patreon members
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 @KitchenNo2246@lemmy.world
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
Same!
Memmy on iOS is very much like Apollo. A bit buggy but a great start.
Mlem really didnโt satisfy me.
Yeah Memmy is in a very impressive state for a beta. Still some issues and things to iron out, but very promising.
Mlem has been super buggy for me. As in Iโll 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 wouldnโt be seen on Reddit
Jerboa
I'm really enjoying Liftoff, it seems the most complete to me. I like jeroba but the laggy/choppy scrolling drives me crazy.
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 ๐
Add another vote for Memmy!
I'm using the mobile site "installed" to my home screen.
All of them honestly, but I still feel Jerboa is the most polished one of the club.
Memmy
Jerboa mostly, and Thunder and WefWef on the side. Ive been switching it up a lot because I enjoy watching all the progress.
Wefwef is new to me. It's a web app... Interesting.
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 :)
I switched to Connect cause Jerboa was having issues as well. I think I'll be sticking with it tho, really loving the QOL updates in the last couple of days
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!
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
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.
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.
Yeah. Best UX so far, but darn, not being able to edit yet has been tricky.
Yeah, I have Jerboa installed as well, for the few times I need something Thunder doesn't have. Though it's very exciting to see all the apps develop at very fast speeds.
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.
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.
Mlem at the moment but one apps start releasing on the App Store Iโll try different ones to see which fits my tastes.
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.
I see a lot of people are on Jerboa but I don't think that one is available for iOS.
I think its Mlem for iOS
Oh, didnโt realize they were the same thing!
Liftoff, until Slide is ready and better than Liftoff
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?
I've really liked Liftoff
Currently alternating between LiftOff and Mlem. Both have things I like about them
Firefox.
I am one of those who was using JoeyForReddit, and I am hoping to find something similar for Lemmy too.
I'm using the web app, it works well enough
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.
Posted using liftoff
I'm the dev of Summit so I've been using Summit for Lemmy :D
I've just downloaded it, after seeing your comment. It's nice and is working great so far, thank you!
I've just downloaded it too et I like it
Looks nice but a little impractical for right-hand people
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!
It's because the images are on the left side, unlike most other apps, so I have to reach my right thumb to the left of the screen
Ah that makes a lot of sense. I'm daily driving a smaller phone so I don't have too much trouble reaching the left side but I can see the issue with larger devices. I will add a new layout type in the future to move the icons to the right side in the next release. If you have any other feedback let me know.
