I am currently experimenting with apps for this site. There is a range of apps for Lemmy in the Google app store, and I tried three.

  1. Jerboa. Probably the most glitchy one, it did not allow me to access my own profile and it failed to display any images. Which is a pity, because the interface was visually appealing.

  2. Connect. This app displays images, allows you to customize your account and your dashboard to some degree. Its interface is somewhat bouncy, which is unpleasant and may be overwhelming when you're trying to navigate quickly, but I can deal with is. Perhaps, 7 out of 10. I will use it for now.

  3. Sync. Sync loads better than Jerboa and has a better interface than Connect, but it also did not load any pictures. I will not uninstall it and will come back to it later, just in case.

Another app, Boost for Lemmy, is something I could not check out because it is still in development, but the preview screenshots they display on their download page look rather well put. I will try it out when it becomes available.

I did not check out any other apps, because their previews did not appeal to me.

There's also "Voyager" app which I'm using, the UI is confusing and needs some time to get used to, but haven't noticed any major bugs

I found this app called sync for lemmy and it seems pretty good
