    It’s missing features and performance really starts chugging after a few minutes of scrolling, but updates are in the pipeline

      I haven’t used wefwef yet, but I’m on Liftoff right now it’s pretty good. Mlem and Memmy are okay. So far I haven’t really felt like any of edged ahead.

      FWIW the pre release build is actually in a pretty good state right now

    Thanks for raising awareness. Seeing a lot of liftoff, connect, jerboa and wefwef but not as much thunder. I personally like thunder the best so far of the four.

    Also, pro tip, we can all prefer different apps! There is no right or wrong app, there’s just whichever is right for you!

    Have tried Thunder, Jerboa, Liftoff. I’m finding the web app wefwef.app better though, since it’s based on Apollo and has a really nice UI/UX.

    It looked good while not logged in, but didn’t work once I logged in.

      I was skeptical at first, but it’s great! It properly parses repos, it shows you a preview of where you’re about to download from, and if there are multiple assets in a release it lets you pick the right one. And then it does auto-updates just like an F-Droid client!

      Sync isn’t going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.

        I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.

    Yeah, this is the one I like the most of the current available ones.

    Tried “Memmy” before and right now I like Thunder a bit more. The UI looks cleaner to me, it works well. Good job, I have put it on my phone where I used to have Apollo.

      I’m trying it now too, thanks for the comment, but if you’re an ex-Apollo like me, I highly recommend giving a try to Wefwef.app. It’s a web app but you can install it on your screen and looks almost identical to Apollo and feels very much like home. I discovered it today thanks to another comment and I can’t believe this exists.

        I have just read about it in a different comment as well, tried it and it does feel a bit like coming home. Thank you for recommending it to me as well, it’s wonderful to see that it gets easier and easier to take part here!
