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.

        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.

        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!

      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.

    Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download

    I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff

    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.

    Jerboa has been useless for me.

    Even liftoff has struggled. I’m hoping that things stabilize over the coming weeks.

    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.

    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?

    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.
