I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

I’m using Thunder and I’m liking it while I wait for Sync for Lemmy to be released.
If Thunder could fix its bugs and add more ui customization the it’d be golden.
Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.
I wasn’t a fan of the gestures either but I got use to them quickly and they aren’t bad.
They just released an update that really made it smooth for me
Thunder has fixed the majority of it’s bugs, it just lacks a few features how but the dev is already working on adding more.
Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t heard of thunder yet (been using liftoff, jerboa, and connect). So far thunder is the new best of the bunch!
memmy
I see vivaldi, I upvote! Best browser around
I see Niagara, I upvote! Best launcher around
yes sir!! been using niagara launcher since last year and just switched to Vivaldi on desktop lately. damn man, I don’t ever see myself using that google launcher ever again on my pixel phone no matter what updates they bake
Switched to both of these within the last couple months, both are great. Niagara is admittedly probably the most expensive android app I’ve purchased, but I think it was worth it
I’ve been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic–quite understandable given their early development.
I’m really looking forward to trying Sync when it’s ready.
U forgot Thunder
Thunder should 100% be on this list.
Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download
I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff
It’s a progressive web app, basically a website that you install to your phone that behaves like a normal app. It’s one of the best PWAs I’ve personally encountered too.
Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day
Here you go…
Doesn’t work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn’t any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).
It’s because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.
Still didn’t work on Firefox though

Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.
You’re right, it installed without problem on Chrome, I’m writing this from wefwef

It’s not an app, it’s a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.

Oh, didn’t realize it wasn’t in the Play store
FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.
Tbh it’s fine to use it on the browser too.
Haha, I got them all in a folder too and would rate them similarly. (Tough, Liftoff is above wefwef for me)
I Update them all regularly and snoop back in to see how they’re progressing. So far it’s been really fun and inspiring to see these madmen developers push out 3 updates a day
If I get to make one recommendation: the thunder app is also good, but only available through GitHub (I guess?), so you’d have to install via an apk. Worth it in my opinion, as it comes close after wefwef in my ranking! :D
The alternatives have looked nice, but overall I keep coming back to Jerboa as it has had less bugs for my experience. But I also get automated updates via F-Droid and previous versions have been buggy.
If you have izzy’s repo enabled then liftoff updates too
I do use Izzy’s repo, it isn’t a full f-droid experience without it

Slide is still in alpha but is looking promising.
def looks promising, I’ll give it a try!! thanks
Wait… The same Slide as the abandoned Reddit app?? That was my favorite of all of the Reddit apps I’ve tried due to it’s simplistic gesture design.
That’s the one. I’m not 100% sure of the history but it’s an attempt to get it working here and progress is already promising.
Fudge yeah!!
Edit: hahahahhaa! My autocorrect G-rated my comment
Jerboa has been useless for me.
Even liftoff has struggled. I’m hoping that things stabilize over the coming weeks.
liftoff has been by far the most usable for me
Tried jerboa and wefwef, now on liftoff and this one seems best for my use, so gonna stick to it for a bit while other apps are made.
memmy
I don’t think there’s an android version out for Memmy yet.
how do I get this one on android? I got lost in that GitHub page?
couldnt tell ya sorry, i use memmy for iOS and had to download it thru apples beta store
Not sure if the bug is within the app or your instance, but you replied 4 times hahaha

I’m very excited about Infinity for Everything.
Sync had a navigation option to go to the next “top comment”; I can’t find this feature on wefwef nor Connect.
Do the others have something similar to navigate comments inside posts?
Jerboa has this. So far it’s the only one (that I’ve tried) that has this feature.

Been using Connect and liftoff for a few days now. Both are really good but imo connect seems to be a tad bit smoother and has better UI.
I agree connect has the smoothest scrolling experience of all of them but there is something about the UI and theme that keeps making me go back to wefwef. we can’t really tell now but with time I guess, all of them will be enhanced and less buggy, and it’ll be just a matter of preference.
