Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It'd be better to just drop it at this point and focus on Lemmy. It's causing people to get fustrated. The other apps are doing a much bettter job now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Which one would you recommend for Android?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Yep, it's going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.

I've moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I'll be there.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I've been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I've seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can't see anyway to adjust it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

on wefwef there is an icon for configurations where you can change font size (Settings -> appearance)

You're welcome!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I can recommend, for Android:

Connect

Liftoff

Thunder

I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

I've had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn't recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I had to use my email rather than username, though I'm aware not all instances require one.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is currenty unusable. Just use something else.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm using "thunder" right now. Can recommend

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That swipe right to up-/dowvote is super annoying. Should be swipe right for up, swipe left for downvoting.

Didn't check if an issue has been opened, yet. Otherwise looks very promising.

I wish RedReader would exist for lemmy. It's UX has been tuned over the years and is 99.9% perfect.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I like thunder but there are just a few things I dont like about it

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

RedReader was amazing. They said they'd look into support for lemmy. hopefully they get on it soon.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Jerboa works perfectly fine for me and it's probably my favorite out of all the ones I've tried. It's unfortunate you're having issues.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Your instance must be on the latest version. I think it's mainly lemmy.world users having issues atm.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

or use V0.34. It works for me

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, old versions were more stable, but still unstable.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it's working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Or use Obtanium to get it!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is the best app right now.

Another vouch for wefwef, it’s been my preferred app

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

@chloetse @jerboa I'm giving thunder and liftoff a try. Both seem much nicer right away

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

This is the client I was using and it just won't start anymore. I'll try again later but guess I'll try another client in the meantime.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've just downloaded Liftoff. It's pretty nice. And it works:) 😁

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Just clear data and cache and it'll work

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No it won't

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
