What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. My problems with jerboa:

  • When I write a pm to someone it sends that message to myself
  • Language of the interface is Polish (my first language) and I can't change it to english (at least on the version that I'm on rn)
  • Scrolling is very buggy (it stutters a lot)
  • Often when I want to make a comment it doesn't send it and I have to go to my pc an rewrite my comment to be able to send it
  • It doesn't play gifs on the feed by default, I have to open the image to play the gif
  • It doesn't play gifs in the comments at all and there's no way for me to play them
  • There are no embeds for videos (not sure if there's any mobile app that has that)
  • etc.

What I'm looking for:

  • An app with developed UI/UX
  • Obligatory dark mode
  • Something that resolves my problems with jerboa

Any recommendations or apps that I should follow the development of?

Second this, liftoff is pretty amazing and they look to be integrating kbin the future as well.

Just installed, I'm liking it so far. It's a little laggy and stuttery, but hey, like all other Lemmy apps right now it's in beta. The navigation feels better to me than other options. Thanks!

This big "+" in the middle at the bottom of the app is a bit annoying, is there a way to make it smaller and move it down like the rest of the buttons are?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff seems to be open source. Pretty sure you can ask the dev about this feature.

I didn't find a way to customize that part so far.

Wefwef.app install as a PWA itโ€™s amazing

It's a turn-off for me that this is made up to look like an iOS app. I'm using an android phone and it's kind of weird to have the sudden switch between paradigms.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is open source, it would be cool if someone could fork it and make a version that looks more like an Android app experience.

Also using connect. Used to use baconreader for a decade and it doesn't feel all that different.

Wait for this app, if you are on android. It once was among the best Android apps in general and a very popular Reddit client. It's going to be great!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm currently waiting but in the meantime I'm using https://wefwef.app

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used sync for almost a decade and I can confirm it was the optimal reddit experience. When the developer comes out with sync for lemmy I am immediately using it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm waiting for both Sync and Boost to come out with their Lemmy offerings and will probably end up with one of those. In the meantime, I'm trying Thunder and WefWef, but have also heard good things about Liftoff. Here is a list of the current (and upcoming) crop if you want to experiment: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

I discovered wefwef today. It's the most impressive web app I've ever used, to be honest. Let alone being my new favourite Lemmy client.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You'd like wefwef.app

It does what you ask and more

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff has been great for me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely recommend Connect for Lemmy. Gives me RIF vibes and has worked really well for me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like connect, though it's not without its own issues - the comment box is clunky, and poorly designed and if the parent post/comment is too long or you type a long comment the keyboard can cover the area youre typing in, making it impossible to tell if you are making mistakes without closing the keyboard.
