I am currently using wefwef working great and inspired from Apollo ✨
I tried it and wasn't the biggest fan, mainly because it's designed like an iOS app. Probably great for former Apollo users but as an android user it's just not for me. It definitely is a pretty slick web client though and I'd use it over the official reddit app any day 😂
I agree. They said they’re working on an Android theme though.
I've just installed it on Android from here wefwef.app/settings/install, and I'm impressed so far. Using dark, compact settings it's the one I prefer out of a bunch I've tried and I think it will probably be the Lemmy app I use going forward.
I mean.. that is the goal of the project, to be similar to Apollo, and that’s why ex-Apollo users love it so much 🙂
Yea exactly, no hate for the app ofc just not for me personally. I know a lot of people are grateful for it
Wow! There's some really cool stuff coming up. https://mlmym.org/lemmy.kutara.io/ is very impressive :)
This is really needed. Only WefWef is the only good option I know off but assumed other projects were in the works.
yes as of now most of devs working on building apps!
I’m using the iPhone 13 with TestFlight for the Memmy app. I’m pretty happy with it. It reminds me a lot of Apollo. There are things I miss, but it’s growing and just got a new update.
Update: I added hot badge for popular apps! ,If you have any features/suggestions to improve this site just tell me!
And Thanks for Supporting!
Also I'm thinking to make specific community for this site anyone help me with logo/cover pic for this if yes then contact me!
There seems to be no filter for open/closed source. Is that planned?
Yes! Adding soon
For those looking and trying new apps, Ive had the most success with Liftoff on Android. I've had the least bugs with this app and otherwise has been a smooth experience. Just know to expect bugs at this time on pretty much everything as they all are pretty early in their builds.
I feel like, of the handful available to try, Liftoff is the most feature complete - comparable to Jerboa. Everything else always seems to be missing some key functionality (as of writing this). I do keep getting 502 errors periodically, but I know that's Lemmy and not the app itself. Highly recommending Liftoff at the moment.
That said, Sync was my bread and butter on Reddit, so I'm hoping it can be my go to on Lemmy as well. Crossing my fingers. But Liftoff will suffice otherwise, for sure.
I've been testing out several apps simultaneously to find my favorite one, liftoff is the only one I'm logged in to. It's pretty good, but I've noticed that liftoff seems to get more 502 errors than others like Summit and Connect when loading comments, posts, and refreshing. Other than that, it's a pretty great app and very comfortable coming from RiF
Interesting. Liftoff has been the most problematic for me. I saw a meme yesterday about how slow it was. I'll have to try it again.
Been using Jerboa and Connect interchangeably for a couple of days to compare and contrast. Honestly Jerboa takes it, super stable and it's been rolling with all the punches lemmy.world has been throwing it much better than Connect. I'd honestly recommend both, but Jerboa has been just slightly better in just overall UX. I'll probably keep testing out the various apps for Android, but Jerboa will likely be my daily driver.
lol, I tried Jerboa, as it was the first recommendation and only had issues with it. Removed it from my phone not even an hour after installation because it was just frustrating.
Like most of the apps at the moment, it's under active development and improving rapidly. Don't give up on any of the apps you try too quickly.
Yeah, it could have been your instance having problems, not the third party app. That's what I've been dealing with all week... it's hard to judge apps when the platform itself is creaking under the weight of the influx of ten of thousands of new people literally overnight.
It was mostly UX stuff and weird bugs like the post contents blanking after switching between apps.
Jerboa seems to have better navigation IMHO. You can swipe back. I don't like how you have to use the back button on Connect. I also noticed that Connect has changed its icon for the 3rd time since I installed it last week.
Connect just got the 'swipe to go back' gesture in its latest update (among various other things)!
The dev is extraordinarily active. Give a suggestion on their lemmy community and be assured that it'll be implemented within a week or so.
Nice, looks like the icon is updated as well!
How does one go about getting a Beta invite to some of these iOS apps?
For Mlem, I went to their GitHub and found a comment with a TestFlight link. You have to download the TestFlight app (which is for beta testing apps) as well. But they have a set number of testers they can have for each iteration so you might not be able to get in
