I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I’m trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.

Both are great options though and both have it’s pro’s and cons. I’m also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.

I’m also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I’m really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.

This is the way.

It’s open source and there’s a ton of open PRs. Lots of people want Apollo back.

@Erasmus @DuskLoaf lmao

Same. I was using liftoff for a bit while they worked out the kinks during the 0.18 upgrade, but its been great, feels really intuitive to me.

Im coming from reddit via RiF, and I feel like Jerboa checks a lot of the same boxes for me.

I love Jerboa but is there any way to make the images in people’s comments (not original posts) larger?

Same! Loving it so far.

Not gonna lie, I don’t know what kind of dark magic wefwef pulled through, but it is the first web app I actually find as performant a a native app. It may not be for me (not a big fan of iphone aesthetics), but it is wonderful.

Have to agree with this guy.

I recently swapped from IPhone to Android and thought I’d lost the slickness of Apollo forever.

Then Wefwef came along. It’s nowhere near as smooth as the original Apollo app (at least via Android’s Firefox browser), but it’s got all the same vibes and makes me feel like I’m back in that same experience again.

Not a fan of wefwef personally because it floods my mobile browser history.

Me: “I wonder if this Connect could be better than what I’m using”

Also me: Already using Connect

Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too

My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.

But, if that’s my biggest complaint ¯\(ツ)/¯

Started with it, tried every other app, came back to Jerboa.

+1

Is this because most admin/mod features don’t exist in the apps yet?

Same, everyone here chasing after the perfect app, but I find the mobile web interface to be pretty damn incredible.

Yeah so far I’ve been pretty happy with it. It’s got a good UI

Loving it as well, especially the appearance options.

Yeee, it’s pretty nice so far.

Placing the Jerboa icon where I used to have the Boost was so nice. I’m still waiting to see when kbin gets an app. The mobile experience is rough.

Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I’m just now trying it out and it feels very polished.

It could use some UI/UX work though. For example, if I want to go to a comment I replied to from my profile, rif had a handy button to show my comment with context. On Jerboa I need to go to my comment with a couple unintuitive taps, then the context of that comment with another button that doesn’t really feel like it’s in the right place.

I’ll give it time to develop though

Same, but I might switch to Boost for lemmy when it’s out.

None have been published to the App Store yet, right? All just in test flight I believe. Just trying to confirm that because I can’t find them the normal way.
